Anyone own Ryzen 1400 or 1500 and can tell me your points? I'm build a gaming pc next month and can't decide if I should get quad or 6-core cpu - or save on cpu and get a better gpu

More than 4 cores are a waste of money if u wanna go exclusively for gaming ... until more Dx12 comes out.
Go for an i5 or i7 for better gaming experience.
Ryzen will bring you many problems if you don't know how to set up your ram & CPU .
Newest not always means the best.
You are welcome to tell me what problems i should expect with a Ryzen CPU.
Well you know, reason I'm picking Ryzen over i5 is two main reasons.
- AM4 is going to last longer
- LGA1151 will 99% be replaced with Gen 8 so I don't want to have to change mb and cpu in 2 years
- pricing. 1400 and 1500 is much cheaper than a 7600K not to talk about getting a 7700K
I have no problem to set up the CPU or tweak the speed on the ram but I dont want to waste money where it's not needed.
However. I mainly play this game (on PS4 right now) so I would want to know if it going to make a huge difference by going with a Ryzen 1400/1500 over say a 1600.
Also from what i read, yes team blue do better on single core but this game isnt a single core game
I have R5 1600. At stock clocks with the ram at 2933Mhz using a GTX 980ti I get 14000 on the Benchmark on Max @ 1080p.
That is at like 20% CPU usage. I would highly recommend the R5 1400 for the price point. FFXIV makes good use of the Hyperthreading to increase FPS in highly populated areas so I would recommend it over an i5. And for streaming it is a beast.
Oh definitely. I was just using that as an example of how well a Ryzen 1400 would do for the price point.

Here's a link for someone using an Intel i5 6500 and a GTX 1070 getting a score of 12363 on the SB Bench. The 1070 should get a bit higher than a GTX 980ti ~14,500-15,000 on the Bench.
So technically you could get a R5 1400 for $50 less and have better performance which I think is simply due to he added CMT (Hyperthreading) compared to just getting an i5
On the purpose of going on budget, I wonder if the budget GT 1030 card can reach the 9k score, didn't see any benchmark result with that.
Probably you already know this page http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare...400/3921vs3922, but if you don't and you are a patient person here you can compare performance.
The 1500x is also in a good price point since as an X version it will automatically OC higher than the Boost Clock if thermals and power is ok. But the key difference is that it has the 16mb of L3 cache compared to the 1400 which has 8mb. (No idea how that will compare to gaming)
Is your GPU overclocked as well? I know the 980 ti's can overclock pretty high but I'm just running mine at stock.
It runs at whatever the stock overclock is of the msi gamimg 6g version is. I havent overclocked it myself
Random freezes on both specially AAA games.
980 TI's still a great choice for 1080p gaming.
In some games even my x2 1080ti SLI can't beat the x2 980Ti's SLI.
Thing changes at higher resolutions or singles.
PS. The truly power is not reveled yet . 1080 Ti K|NGP|N is coming ;D
