There's still plenty of room to grow into VR and/or 120Hz/240Hz monitors at 4k/5k.

- InTheArena 9y agoSure, and PCIe lanes will be key to making that work, not CPU. EPYC has insane capabilities there.
- onli 9y agoResolutions has nothing to do with it. To the contrary: You need less cpu power since you will get your FPS limit from the gpu, not the cpu. Similar for VR: Current cpus are strong enough to get the 90FPS current VR headsets want. 240Hz maybe, but those processors won't be faster in games than a Intel Core i7-7700K, as games don't use that many cores.
- minikites 9y agoSo then what is the original comment referring to?
- onli 9y agoI think that is is comparing Threadripper to other workstation cpus, or it rather explicitly does compare to EPYC. Since Threadripper has a high clock, it might work better in games as well. Parent is right in saying that when adapting expectations, that additional gaming performance is unlikely to be necessary. Reminds me of using one of the Xeon E5-2670 for gaming, as in https://www.techspot.com/review/1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc/ https://www.techspot.com/review/1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc....
- dis-sys 9y agoPosting from my dual Xeon E5-2670 here, it is a great machine for gaming, look at those average fps benchmarks in your link.
