The GPU would probably still make it even

Depends on the game but at anything under 1440P Intel will have the performance lead for quite some time unless AMD can get their single core performance up quite a bit.

In Fortnight with a 1080 Ti at 1080P the 8700K takes a 20FPS lead over the 2700X and in various other games it's sometimes more and sometimes less, Depends on the engine, Rainbow 6 Siege sees the 8700K with a 32FPS advantage, In CSGO the 2700X gets 438 and the 8700K gets 519, I know at that point it's not really important but it shows CPU does matter at 1080P.

I'm lucky and have both CPU's and for 1080P high Hz gaming I wouldn't dream of using the 2700X, For a higher res yeah sure as then it's just GPU bound but not 1080P.

Thought all this was pretty well known ^_^

Yeah, Intel will still be the way to go for enthusiast gaming at 1080p. I know those words together aren't usually synonymous, but it's definitely a thing, especially now with 240Hz monitors. People use high-end GPUs at 1080p quite a bit, which makes Intel the way to go. Even a 8600K would trounce the more expensive 2700X. Plus Intel's platform is far more stable (if you don't factor in the security risks of course). :p

No. You are talking about something different all of a sudden.

We were talking about the new CPU prices. The point was the money saved from using the new CPU could go towards a new GPU for Ryzen and the faster GPU would probably still overcome the difference between the the Intel CPU and the slower GPU. Hopefully makes more sense.

Before this misconception starts here as well:

Nvidia to 'control' AIBs custom RTX 2080/Ti reviews

NVIDIA has demanded that its AIBs tell NVIDIA who will be reviewing the AIB's custom RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti cards. We were forwarded emails from other reviewers, from the AIBs that were asking specifically, at NVIDIA's direction, "Who will be performing the review content?" "What is that person's phone number and email address?" That is a bit odd, as we have never seen this before in 20 years of reviewing video cards.

That's just a big can of nonsense (and I initially wrote another word there). NVIDIA always has tracked what media gets what AIB samples, period. You know who does that as well? AMD, they even regulate what brand and sample end up at what reviewer. How conveniently he forgets to mention that.

I think Kyle is letting his feelings getting to his better judgment.

Wasn't sure where to post this BUT thought you'd all like to see it, I received an email from MSI today about the upcoming 2080 series cards but what was at the bottom really caught my attention and thought deserved a share on here.

I must be the most oblivious person ever but I don't see it but a curious.
