4K is going to be mostly GPU bottlenecked, not CPU. Lower res gaming better illustrates a CPU's strength. Also keep in mind far more people game at 1080P, if not less. 1440P and 4K are a niche at best.
Could be a fluctuation in ambient temperature or the case of a cold boot GPU versus warmed up GPU. My GTX 1080 (MSI Gaming X) will boost to 1974 out of the box after a cold boot but after running a while it will stabilize at 1898. Then again, I set my temperature target to 90 C and I rarely...
3D Mark Fire Strike, especially the "Combined Score" aspect seems to have been a point of contention with Ryzen. Well, by using Window's Power Saver profile versus High Performance my score increased quite a bit:

So I ask, does this f*** up...
A month has passed since I've "downgraded" my i5 6600K at 4.4 GHz for the R7 1800X at 3.9 GHz.
In the most single threaded games I play (SWTOR, WOW and SC2) there was pretty much zero perceptible difference. Outside raids/large scale battles FPS would run 120-200 easily and only in raids/high...
I thought I'd share the improvement to my Passmark single thread score which I found interesting...

Edit: IEC beat me to it.
Performance tanks on the 6900K as well. It's because AotS forces higher core CPUs to display added details that would be absent from quad core CPUs.
So apparently there is a technical issue where AotS performance tanks on 6 and 8 core CPUs (both Intel and AMD) as it displays added detail for higher core counts (article updated to reflect these findings):

I'll certainly look in to it. I've noticed that with 8 cores I almost consistently score lower at 4.02 and 4.05 in the combined test in Fire Strike than at 4.0. From what I see so far, RAM speed would help a bit going by the score Alexruiz posted a few pages ago.
I also though I might share...
Huh, then shouldn't disabling 4 cores be even better? However when I tried that it made the combined score a bit worse than the 8 core config. I just achieved my personal best Fire Strike score overall, with a 3+3 config no less:

Even when I run all 8 cores...
For some reason 3DMark Fire Strike combined test scores better when I have two cores disabled in Ryzen Master.
My two best 8 core runs:

I wonder how much draw call performance Ryzen would gain if used with faster RAM. It seems Ryzen gains >8% gaming performance from going to DDR4-2400 to DDR4-3200:

Any one use UserBenchMark?
I'm in the top 3% of Ryzen 1800X builds in UserBenchMark:

103% for CPU score. For what it's worth, the average of all i7 5960X baselines is 91% and 6900K 100% even. Now only if Ryzen could overclock as good as Haswell...
