I'm giving AMD CPU's one more generation to see if they can pretty much equal and surpass Intel everywhere and then stomping. I still run a 2011/12 processor and it isn't even bad, just want a little more juice. That was like the Nvidia 500 series then, yeah NVidia doesn't deserve a lot of heat in their % gains category, 580 vs 2080 or even 1080 pff.

The day I pay $2500 for something nVidia makes will be the day that First Contact occurs...;) Ugh...!
It's not meant for you, if you ask how much is it? This product isn't for you.

If you haven't already bought into Ryzen (my 3.8GHz R5 1600 is very nice), you might wish to wait a few months for Ryzen 2--it's confusing, I know

Remember, Computex is right around the corner.
Stuff like PCIe 4.0, Zen 2 (Ryzen 3?) and AMD's PCI x570 chipset is on the horizon or will be announced at Computex.

So is it worth upgrading to AMD now?

I think Intel outperforms Ryzen by 5-10% on average in games

So is it worth upgrading to AMD now? I mean they've always been behind (apart from a short time when Athlon came out) in single threaded performance, and for most games this is what counts. If the answer is yes, what is the best-buy chip-mobo-memory combo right now?

Thats just a list of articles from the beginning of 2018 up to now. None of them directly compare AMD processors against intel processors. Thanks. I guess. Anyone here with an AMD willing to weigh in? Specifically does AMD make a processor that can rival the i5 9600k at a similar price point?

So - could the Titan RTX support raytracing at WQHD at 30 fps? Could it really happen? Find out for just $2,500! Buy two and give one to your friend at Christmas!
