Question Ryzen 7 1700 Cpu vs amd rx570 Gpu for Rendering | Blender

[cantthinkofanickname]

Hello.
I ve been searching for some time now and cant find whether ryzen 7 1700 will perform better than the rx570 in rendering in most cases the cpu would be overclocked and im not going to buy an overclockable mobo for now...Im asking cuz i might save money buying a smaller gpu(?) cuz i really want those 8 cores that 1700 is offering at that price
Thanks for your time!!!!

Most rendering is done in CPU, so.......
Also check yor rendering SW requirements, not all are dependent on core number but are single threaded.

That's a tough one. Blenchmark was still active at the time when I had to make this decision, but I recently its results being questioned. The Blender devs have run some benchmarks but they're not easy to find (even Google is hit-and-miss), and don't seem to be collected in an easy to find manner.

But what I can say is rendering with my Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than my GTX 1070 ti; but running a standard benchmark render the GPU is faster.
