That's great tygeezy! Really glad you are getting substantial improvements! I hope you are satisfied in the upgrade mate :)
Once you start tuning, I would wager that if you were to delid and still use the current cooler, you will get better performance than AIO without delid... Basically, an improvement without you having to spend anything more, if you wanted to go that path.

Although its making my 1070 look underwhelming. I dropped the resolution to 720 p on witcher 3 in that brutal area of novigrad where I now get 75-86 fps. I get 125 + in 720 p. Interestingly enough my gpu usage is still at 99% even at 720 p.
They touted the 1070 as the 1440 p card when in actuality you still need more horsepower even for 1080 p. Dropping from 2x msaa to none in gta v nets me over 20 frames per second at 1080 p.
On my old processor because of how bottlenbecked I was I didn't see much of a difference in framerate when activating all the iq goodies. This makes me wish I got a 1080, and I can see why sli at even 1080 p can give big framerate boosts in 3d.
I'm going to test 720 p 3d in witcher 3 when I get home. Volta is suppose to come out next year yes? Perhaps I can buy another 1070 for SLI and then sell them when Volta comes out to go back to single card. Or I can sell this 1070 and just get a 1080 TI. I'd have over 800 sunk into 1070's when I can get a 1080 ti and not have to worry about the headaches that come with sli.

[quote="RAGEdemon"]Later, you can SLi 1080 Ti's. It's more future proof and less of a "headache" :)[/quote]
But SLI is THE headache (jk, I didn't even try it personally so I won't judge).
My components arrived today, but I came home late, so it won't be ready until tomorrow. I dread the moment when I will have to take out the Noctua NH-D14. I always end with micro cuts on my fingers whenever I have to handle it.
I'm burning the Windows 10 ISO into a DVD (for future use too, to not have to "waste" a USB flash drive). It's ending just about now. I have to make a backup of my current OS just in case, move game saves, etc. Feeling lazy and excited at the same time :p.

[quote="RAGEdemon"]Adding my personal experience to bo3b's insight: I was running 7700K on a Z270 on Windows 7. ASUS seems to have provided the necessary drivers for everything to work - except the kaby-lake integrated GPU which we of course don't use. I had chanced upgrading to Windows 10 for other reasons.
Z170 would be a great choice - preliminary performance figures for Xpoint don't seem to be much better than NVMe SSDs. The other advantage of Z270 boards was the ability to clock AVX instructions at a lower speed than standard core. I thought this was a great idea as I had thought that AVX would come into play only while encoding, which I rarely did.
As it turns out, AVX is starting to be used by modern games too - The Witcher 3 and Mankind Divided both use AVX and had lowered my CPU core every time I loaded the game up. It took me quite some testing to narrow down the cause, as I was under the impression that games did not use AVX.
As it stands, I clocked AVX to the same speed as my normal Core Clock (Normal was 52,52,51,51 multipliers on 4 cores - AVX multipliers were 300MHz less), and my system while gaming with both games has been extremely stable - no crashes what so ever.
Moral of the story - the only reason to get Z270 boards was XPoint support and AVX down-clocking for stability purposes. My personal conclusion is that these features should not be deciding factors in your purchase. If you can get a Z170 for compatibility reasons or for a significantly lower price compared to Z270, then you should go for that without hesitation.
EDIT:
Bonus video I had been looking for; the importance of fast RAM:[/quote]
Just curious if you had run across the problem of blocked updates or not. I've read mixed reports on whether Microsoft is actually doing a software lock on any 7700 processor for Win7, blocking security updates as well.
This reportedly started happening last couple of weeks. If that's happening for real, that means to me at least that 7700K is off the table.
I'm not ever going to sign up for Win10 random changes to my PC. Software as a service means it changes every day whether I want it to or not. And someone else gets to decide what is 'acceptable' for me to run.

My PCSX2 trick for 3D Vision isn't working on Windows 10. I tried a newer SpecialK build, different settings... If I can't find a way to make it work in 3D, I'll have to do one of these things:
1- Develop an exclusive fullscreen mode for PCSX2 (which existed in 2010 or so, back when they were SVN builds instead of Git). I wouldn't know ehere to start, or if it's easy or difficult.
2- Make a small Windows 7 partition just for it. If the 7700K doesn't have trouble with it.

I'm really glad I started this thread. Without it I don't think i'd have upgraded just yet. Possibly even Masterotaku? We have two people that upgraded their rig a month after this thread opened.
I can't speak for Masterotaku, but it's pretty much 115 % across the board. I fired up Diablo 3 and I don't drop below 95 fps in the hairiest of action with no crazy frametime spikes. We are talking all 4 people in rifts with explosions, particles, and enemies blowing up all over the screen. That kind of action would drop me into the 20's in 3d vision.
Can you not record in 3d vision with shadowplay? Or whatever it's called now? I really wanted to record a rift run.

"Very important. I have a 4670K at 4.3GHz and I would need around +50% single core performance to be happy. Which doesn't exist yet. I don't know if DDR4 RAM at 4000MHz would improve single core performance over the 25-30% that a 5GHz 7700K would give me.
I get between 37-45fps in Novigrad at 1080p because of my CPU."
So, are you happy with the upgrade? Seems like you got 50% difference in deus ex at least, you tried the witcher yet?
I can't say mate - I didn't pay attention to windows update for the few days that I was on Windows 7 with the 7700.
Windows 10 64-bit, Intel 7700K @ 5.1GHz, 16GB 3600MHz CL15 DDR4 RAM, 2x GTX 1080 SLI, Asus Maximus IX Hero, Sound Blaster ZxR, PCIe Quad SSD, Oculus Rift CV1, DLP Link PGD-150 glasses, ViewSonic PJD6531w 3D DLP Projector @ 1280x800 120Hz native / 2560x1600 120Hz DSR 3D Gaming.
I can't speak for Masterotaku, but it's pretty much 115 % across the board. I fired up Diablo 3 and I don't drop below 95 fps in the hairiest of action with no crazy frametime spikes. We are talking all 4 people in rifts with explosions, particles, and enemies blowing up all over the screen. That kind of action would drop me into the 20's in 3d vision.
Can you not record in 3d vision with shadowplay? Or whatever it's called now? I really wanted to record a rift run.
