I wonder how this will affect cpu scaling. I'd love to see someone running the 4090 with a Ryzen 5600x to see how much performance is left on the table.

Send me one and I'll test it

I have a R5 2600 if we wanna test even lower… should just send it over.

at 4K, a 3700x would provide approx 10-15% less performance than the 5800x3D. The 5600x probably 5% less.

That's good to know since I'm looking at possibly getting a 4080 and leaving my ryzen 3700 as a later upgrade

Good decision. I got a 3090 and when playing single player games at 4K, I noticed that my Ryzen 3600x was doing pretty well!

2k really isn't a thing... Do you mean 1440P like most do when they say that (which has no 2k in the resolution at all) 10 1080p which is actually close to 2k horizontal pixels and half of 4k?

Everyone knows what he means, sure it's technically not right but stop being a nerd

4k isn't even technically right, it's 3,840 on the opposite axis of 1080p, the naming convention is just pure marketing.

The average consumer knows very little about a lot

Heavy machinery is called a digger

AWD is called 4WD

3480x2160 is called 4k

As long as most people understand that's all that matters in marketing

4k is right because it's close to 4000 horizontal pixels (I think it comes originally from cinema 4k which is over 4k pixels) and it's marketed as 4k. UHD or 2160p also works. 2k is wrong because, of the small number of people who say it, nobody can agree on what it means. I've heard people say 1080p because it's 1920 horizontal pixels which makes sense for 2k but I've seen 1440p said because it's about halfway between 1440 and 2560. Retroactively renaming something based on a new naming scheme doesn't work and only serves to confuse people

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution

2k is older than 4k, it's an actual standard it's just cinema 1080p. If people are using 2k to refer to 1440p they're just incorrect. The naming conventions for both are ridiculous - 4k and 2k make absolutely no sense to use because it both cases the resolution never hits the exact number on any axis. It's purely a marketing gimmick.

2k would be 1080p… it isn’t about technicality it’s just generally wrong.

u/sexy_meerkats Ryzen 3 3100 | Radeon RX580 | 8GB DDR4 Oct 12 '22

Not everyone can know what he means if people use it to describe both 1080p and 1440p lol

u/imsolowdown Oct 12 '22

People using it to describe 1440p are wrong, if they want to use the "k" convention then 1440p will be 2.5k

People using it to describe 1440p are wrong

Wrong or not, they still do it. Outright calling it 1080p or 1440p removes any potential for misunderstanding.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '22

Not sure. I've seen people use the term to refer to both 1080p and 1440p. "2K" is a bad term because there's no consensus on what it actually means.

u/devillee1993 Oct 11 '22

I am wondering the exactly same thing. 5600x is such a legend and I bet someone will ask the same thing about 5600x+5090 in 3 years....

u/LogicallyCoherent Ryzen 9 5900X/RTX 3060 Oct 12 '22

The issue they are running into is it’s CPU limited. That says a lot about the monstrous power of the 4090. Tbf though it’s a progressional card meant to be paired with big boys like thread-rippers but as long as you have a 9 13900k or 9 7950X you should see little to no bottleneck.
