Nvidia is not worried about AMD's Vega architecture

Actually now that memory incompatibilities are much better compared to launch, In some games the 1700 is beating out a 7700K.

Yep. I see no reason to hold onto Intel anymore.

3200Mhz memory is still really only doable with Samsung B-die chips, and only a few models are based on that chip. I'll probably pick up a set of G.Skill Trident Z 3000Mhz CL15 memory as it's the most cost efficient, and the difference between 3200Mhz CL14 and 3000Mhz CL15 is minimal. It's not worth the €50 price premium. 3600Mhz memory will likely remain elusive for quite some time. I can't see BIOS updates improving things to the point where 3600Mhz will be commonplace.

According to this video there is no point in grabbing anything over 3200, what do you guys think?

I've seen so many differing results with Ryzen. There appears to be few categorical truths. TechPowerUp released an article on the memory debate as well and found relatively little benefit to concerning yourself with memory speeds past 3000Mhz. Ryzen is an incredibly unstable platform when it comes to consistent and repeatable numbers.

Do you really watch his stuff? As if it's reliable? It's all sponsored crap.

I have to watch something I don't see how his being sponsored would influence this specific video; nothing to gain, quite the contrary. Maybe this is something Tom would like to test at some point?

Digital foundry also did some interesting things but a bit different (CPU speeds, varying, combined with RAM speeds, varying).

Of course they are going to release a statement saying they aren't worried. Can you imaging what would happen to their share prices if they released a new statement saying "We're all crapping ourselves here about Vega!"?

He he! And it's not even a released statement, just a reply to a question in an interview. But yeah, they'd be pretty stupid of they said that.
