    Could this price drop be due to the recent 3600xt benchmark leak?

    Also, Similarly priced @ scorptec for $299

    • greatlamp on 28/05/2020 - 08:17

      AMD has officially cut prices, this should be permanent (ish)
      the new models will not be at this price, but at the original rrp most likely. This is probably still the better buy

    • abctoz on 28/05/2020 - 10:37

      it's probably due to AUDUSD rising recently

        is the reason for the price not changing not good enough competition from intel?

          You're expecting a 25% drop in price, when even at $290 - $300 its one of the best value CPU's on the market?

          Your opinion on what this CPU should be makes no sense other than a price that suits you to buy it at.

          I'd like a RTX super for about 25% less than they are going for at the moment too, but it aint happening anytime soon

        • Kingduytan on 28/05/2020 - 21:32

          You'd be happy for prices to at least stay where they are instead of raising any further. I bougth $460 3700x, $200 32GB 3200mhz RAM, $900 RTX 2080 etc. last year. Almost a year later everything just cost a little bit more, this is a weird time.

    • zqipz on 28/05/2020 - 14:13

      Probably due to the 3300X sitting at $205. Which you would probably argue should be lower?

    • conza on 28/05/2020 - 19:10

      Don't see the reason for the down votes either, I will say that Zen2 is far superior to Zen+ (2600 vs 3600), and that especially now we've seen the competition from Intel, which is Intel saying 'we don't care, we're Intel, this is what you're getting', the price to performance is still with AMD , so it just wouldn't make sense for them to lower prices any further, but it did with Zen and Zen+.

      • kehuehue on 28/05/2020 - 21:41

        I think if Intel gave any serious competition, AMD wouldve reduced the price

        Oh well

    currently sitting on a i5 7600k + 1060 6gb.

    Do you think its worth upgrading CPU/Mobo or GPU first? Im thinking of this CPU or even a 7 series and pairing it with a 5700XT…

    • Soothsayer on 28/05/2020 - 11:35

      What kind of games do you play?

      What resolution do you run?

      • applekorez on 28/05/2020 - 13:19

        right now 1080p but I want to hit 144fps consistently or get at least 90 @ 1440p

        Really all I play right now is warzone

        • Soothsayer on 28/05/2020 - 21:45

          GPU would get you closer to your goal then.

          I also have a machine with a 7600k and have no issues getting 100+ fps in games with a 1080 Ti @ 1440p (equivalent to a 2070 Super). CPU gains are very incremental at 1440p until you get to the upper tier of GPUs, and the 7600k single core performance is still very strong for a lot of games which use up to 4 cores.

          That said, I'm not sure right now is the best time to invest in either a new GPU or CPU, but it's probably a slightly better time to get a CPU, as the next major CPU cycle from AMD is still a while away, the Ryzen 3000 series will remain sufficient for a long time, and GPUs have suffered worse from price inflation recently.

    • Richard Axe on 28/05/2020 - 11:42

      The Radeon 5700XT does not have Ray Tracing so will not be any good with the new Unreal Engine 5.

      This video here shows why Ray Tacing matters:
      https://youtu.be/WoQr0k2IA9A

      Better going with an Geforce 2060 or the same peice of a 5700XT.
      https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

      Better even is to wait a bit for the Geforce 3000 series hit the shops then buy a 2080 on the cheap…

      in regards to Intel Series 7 CPUs are so far behind the AMD Ryzen that is like htey don't even care anymore.
      Intel is all about corporate sales these days…

      • applekorez on 28/05/2020 - 13:25

        I don't think I would use ray tracing very often though - its not worth the performance hit.

          With the RTX cards, the key selling point for me is probably the DLSS rather than ray tracing. DLSS boost FPS by a tons (double in some cases) with a slight cost to image quality. DLSS 2.0 improved image quality a lot as well. With more and more games adopting this, I think this is a very good reason to stick to NVidia this gen.

          • Void on 29/05/2020 - 23:26

            @Kingduytan: What's the difference between DLSS and Radeon Image Sharpening? I'm not shitting on NVIDIA I just want to know the difference.

            • Kingduytan on 30/05/2020 - 03:21

              @Void: They are very different fundamentally. RIS is an advanced sharpening filter/algorithm whereas DLSS use deep learning to allow the tensor core to upscale image while imitating the quality of the target resolution, in theory.

              The thing is, a post-processing sharpening filter can only do so much without introducing noise, halos etc. DLSS pre 2.0 is a bit disappointing, but with deep learning the possibility is endless and can only improve with time. DLSS 2.0 has received positive feedback from reviews in the handful of supported games, 2x fps while making image looks better than native? I'm sold!

              Oh and, you can use RIS with Nvidia cards too! Well, not RIS, but the CAS part in RIS

              • Void on 30/05/2020 - 09:35

                @Kingduytan: Damn DLSS 2.0 is really good. It just turned ray tracing from a slideshow to an actual game on RTX xx60 cards. I have a 5700, AMD better make RIS 2.0, it'll allow me to get so many more years out of my card.

    • wheretobuychocettes on 28/05/2020 - 11:55

      3600 should be plenty for the next few years of happy gaming. Even more so if you want to try overclocking, otherwise still fine without.

      Apart from wanting to support AMD and all, I don't know why anyone would buy an AMD graphics card when Nvidia clearly has the edge, especially with their drivers, and RTX cards with ray-tracing support and all the other optimisations and new functionality that games will no doubt start to leverage in future games in bigger ways. It's Nvidia's game to lose right now, and while we can hope that AMD gives Nvidia some serious competition, you can't be held responsible for supporting AMD if it means getting lesser performance in the meantime. Do what's right for you, which is most likely buying an Nvidia RTX card. ;)

    • So lo on 28/05/2020 - 12:12

      GPU. That 1060 is so far down the stack now compared to an overclocked 7600k.

    • Kingduytan on 28/05/2020 - 15:08
      +1

      You could overclock the 7600K, it most likely can handle much more powerful GPUs. If you're tight on budget, upgrade your GPU first, preferably at least 2060 Super or 2070 Super (you will be bottleneck slightly in some games with 2070 Super).

      Swapping CPU/Mobo/Ram now will set you back at ~$600 with little to no improvement in games.

  • hexapling on 28/05/2020 - 10:10

      • IamEzza on 30/05/2020 - 01:39
