Which ryzen for gaming

[Jtfyondaime]

Hello everyone. I decided to go on ryzen,

1. but I want to learn which one is better at gaming purpose?

1600x - 1700 - 1700x?

I know 1600x is the best cost effective Cpu yet I want to learn which one is better at gaming without looking its price.

2. And I want to learn which is better with oc and which with non oc?

I will go 1080p gaming with gtx 1070.

3. Other question, can I go more than 3200 mhz with Asus rog c6h?

4. Do any ryzens bottleneck high gpu like 1080ti?

1. The 1600X is probably best gaming wise out of the box at Stock Clockspeeds for most games.

2. With Overclocking that would be between the 1600 (Non X) and 1700 (Non X). When overclocking the XFR feature is no longer active so using an X based chip is pointless and you are left dealing with the processor lottery for your max OC. This might be better with the X chips but your money is better spent on better cooling.

3. Probably with the 1.0.0.6 BIOS's which should hopefully leave Beta soon. I have seen posts of people getting close to 4000Mhz I saw one person post reaching 3600 on the Asrock forums (I have an Asrock X370 Fatal1ty Pro Gaming motherboard

4. Not likely Ryzen is much much better than the FX Bulldozer chips. Not to mention in some cases Ryzen can be faster than the 7700K in heavily threaded games.

Thanks for answers guys. I was thinking same. If oc is in the topic it should be best to take 1700. Now I will go with 1700 , c6h , 3200mhz g skill ram.

Is this for 1080p 60Hz or 144Hz?

At 60Hz/fps any of those CPU's will do a great job and will keep you over 60fps in all games, for 144Hz/fps the best choice is still an i7.

To say Ryzen cannot bottleneck a 1080Ti is wrong, even the 7700k which is the king of high fps gaming CPU's can hold back a 1080Ti in certain circumstances. What you have to accept is every pc has a bottleneck, it changes depending on many factors.
