Comparing gaming RIGs: Ryzen 1700 OC versus i7 7700K for CSGO
Your setup will run smoothly, delivering around 170 FPS on your Ryzen during streaming.
The 1600 suits your budget if you aim to save $100. For optimal streaming speed, opt for the 1700 instead.
I understand, though the 6900K was meant for high-performance use, like a ball-to-wall setup. Top-end efficiency was sacrificed (5960X remains superior).
I support streaming and video streaming, and I think Ryzen is a good option. However, I'm concerned about the frame rate during streaming on Ryzen. I want to avoid anything below 170 FPS, as it would make the experience unpleasant.
It's reaching around 300 frames per second, which isn't too much of a concern
Thanks for the update. After watching the video, I realized my concerns might have been misplaced. The lowest frame rate here is 200 fps, but he's playing deathmatch on Dust2. I was worried about maps like Nuke where FPS drops significantly compared to others like Dust2. Still, I believe it should work well in a competitive 5v5 match on any map.
OC frequency for both 1600 and 1700 is nearly identical. I’ll also be handling video editing, so this will be a factor in my choice. Streaming tends to be more CPU demanding than GPU intensive tasks. The main benefit of using a GTX 1080 here is that some video editing programs rely on GPU power as well, though I’m not entirely sure from my current understanding.
