There's a ton of arguing and misinformation going around. I figure I'll start some more of that here (not intentionally) with this question.
I have a system running an i3-6100 right now. I'm using it for games like FFXIV, CS:GO, War Thunder, CIV VI and similar titles. I also do a little 1080p and 4k video editing and some media processing. I have been using the same computer to stream (sometimes) but have been limited to shadowplay since the CPU can't handle the load.
What do you think about upgrading to the Ryzen 1700? Seems like I might actually get worse per-core performance, but could I still see a decent notch up in performance in those types of games? Also, my video editing software (Davinci Resolve, Video Studio X9, Blender, Handbrake) sometimes is GPU accelerated so would more cores really make much difference there?
