Best Work/Gaming Combo

KHansen · Apr 2, 2018

Hey, will this combo be okay for gaming and 4K raw editing. The framerate will be locked to 100hz because of my ultra wide monitor. Or should i go with the 8700K and push the oc to 5Ghz or a x299 build. I know the x399 and the x299 are not build for gaming, i dont wont to have two computers. Just one that can a little of both worlds

AMD 1950X oc
3200Mhz
GTX 1080TI

It depends on which you prioritize more, gaming or work.
Gaming - 8700k build hands down
Work - 1950x(cheaper option)
- 7900x(more expensive, and some features are locked/limited with 7820x and 7800x)

I don't wont lose the that high frame rate and I can wait a little longer for a video to render. But the 8700k only got 16 lanes, that's not enough for me.

100htz ?? A threadripper is going to struggle to maintain 100fps constant with current gen gaming imo.

Okay, not the threadripper then. And the 7900x Is too expensive for.

In what way are 16 pic express lanes going to limit you exactly ??

That's enough for a 1080ti & a nvme ssd with headroom to spare.

Yeah but i want two nvme for redundancy. And I also want a blackmagic delink card for my second monitor. And I believe that will be over 16 lanes with a GPU

The nvme drives run off the 8 lanes independent of the 16 lanes on the gpu slots.

Coffee lake has 24 lanes total ,8 chipset,16 expansion.

So 2 nvme drives would run 4/4 off the chipset, 1080ti & decklink would run 8/8 off the expansion slots.

I don't see any real degradation performance wise there in all honesty.

So the 8700k will be the best for both world. I plan to watercool it, so I can get close enough to the 5Ghz. To get a little more power out of it.

I would say so, gigabyte aorus gaming 5 or 7 look the boards to suit your needs, You'll lose the use of 2 sata slots & the x4 full length pci express slot with a pair of m2 nvme drives installed but that's going to be the same (or worse) on any compatible board.
