Intel® Core™ i7 7820X (good for gaming or not)

[xboxmaster448]

Hi,

I was wondering if the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X is good for gaming or not? As some people say that is it terrible and others say thst it is good . My GPU I will use with the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X is going to be the Nvidia GTX 1080 TI .

Will this be good for gaming or not ?

 

[cookiemania66]

Its good yes, but if gaming is the only thing you want then a ryzen 2700x or 8700k is way better.
That 7820X is way to overpriced if used for gaming only.

 

[xboxmaster448]

Will I be able to see the different in performance In gaming Or not ? Between the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X and the AMD processor ?

Since your focus is gaming an 8700k is your best choice.

 

[xboxmaster448]

But I am also interested in making videos as well like rendering and that . And using photo shop. So would the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X be better for this or not ? I will be gaming but also using video rendering tools like Sony Vegas .

Would the AMD still be a better choice?

 

[Vergilangleos]

if you want build a new pc , both nvidia and intel new flagships will come out soon , wait and grab those

 

[xboxmaster448]

I'm not achully building the pc . I am going to get one well was thinking of getting one of alien ware link down below

Vergilangleos does make a good point about the nvidia rtx series releasing in a week and intel coming out with new cpu's soon. The 7820x and Ryzen 2700x will perform about the same in all tasks.

 

[xboxmaster448]

So is this true? Will the Intel 7820x perform about the same in games and that to the Ryzen 2700x

soon they will refresh their products , intel 9900k is 8core/16t beast , if you want spend so much money just get latest and greatest

intel 7820x is loser in every aspect , terible price/performance , dont go near that platform

 

[xboxmaster448]

But again will it be more money and more expensive ? Buy this also comes to mind I thought the GPU is the most important in games ? And as I was planning to go for the Intel 7280x . And my GPU.will be Nvidia GTX 1080 TI .

So will thst be crap for gaming . And for the build it will cost me £3479

So what should I go for on the alien ware store ?

This system would be excellent for gaming. Period.

Are there better gaming solutions, especially for the money? Yes.

 

[Vergilangleos]

in gaming gpu is more impotant thats why i recommend wait a few weeks and get nvidia rtx series , gtx1000 wont supprt ray tracing in games
in cpu intensive workloads cpu is more important thats why intel 9th gen will be superior to 7820x and also will cost less

 

[xboxmaster448]

Its good yes, but if gaming is the only thing you want then a ryzen 2700x or 8700k is way better.
That 7820X is way to overpriced if used for gaming only.

But will I see a huge difference between these two ? I am also planning to use photo shop and all of that as well. So what will the best processor be ?

its not crap but faaar behind the best solution

3 grand + is a lot to spend.

Anything better than an I5 /R5 and you will hardly notice the difference in games, the video card, RAM and Drive will make a bigger difference.

If you are going to game and do the occasional Photoshop/video go Intel, if you are going to do a decent amount of productivity work go AMD.

True the new Nvidia cards are imminent, but there is always something new due and if you waited for every new thing nothing would ever get bought.

If it were me, I would build my own using the R2700X, a fast Nve SSD, and Lots of RAM.

PS
No modern PC for personal use needs a 1500 watt PSU

But what is bad about this build of mine ? Is it the CPU or GPU. As I am going for the Nvidia GTX 1080 TI. Is this not a good choice?

The only noticable difference is the pocket killing price tag!

Wait for the new 9th intel Generation and get that processor. X299 is more like a "throw your money into the campfire" thing.

Nothing is "bad" about any of it.

It's just a colossal waste of money, when equal or better solutions are available (or shortly will be) that will be better and/or cost less.

The point is, that if you wait a few more months you can get WAY more performance for nearly the same price (probably cheaper). Its not worth going for the 7820X with its 700€ (what ever this is in USD) if you can get latest an greatest Intel Desktop 9th gen with same Core/Threads for probably 400-500 USD. Motherboards are also way cheaper.

The PC you posted isnt bad, but it is far away from beiing a good value/performance pc excpecially with new tech coming veerrryyy soon!

Would a Intel® Core™ i9 7900X (10-core, 13.75MB Cache, up to 4.5GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0) be a lot better then the Intel® Core™ i7 7820X (8-core, 11MB Cache, up to 4.5GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0)

 

[xboxmaster448]

Is the

Intel® Core™ i9 7900X (10-core, 13.75MB Cache, up to 4.5GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0 lot better then the

I 7 7820X ?

A lot better? No, not really. You'll see little (if any) practical performance difference with most uses, like gaming. Unless benchmarking, you will notice no difference in how the system performs.

It seems you want to buy a very high-end pre-built system. If so, go for it.

If you want to build a system, you can certainly build a gaming beast for less money that the aforementioned system.

Really a matter of what you want to do.
