wonder when disabling 4 cores on Ryzen will that gives us an overclock advantage to exceed 4.2 GHz+? or we are just locked for good on this generation

I am sure bios update or a new chipset will help overclock better. I have a feeling all this OC hard block has something to do with XFR. Let's see

Some people want that 144+/165+/180+/240hz fps now, Granted i'd take 120hz ips at 1440p anyday some people always look for that edge for "gaming"

My 1070 did EVERYTHING maxed out in 1080p more or less at +100 FPS. Only a few badly optimized games would be lover. I have a 1440p screen now; there a 1080 or 1080Ti would make more sense, but at 1080p i see NO argument unless it is for benchmarkpurpose. The people who NEED Witcher III to run in 140 fps in 1080 amount to the 1% of the market; the last 99% accept +60 fps fluent with Gsync on :0

There are more people who play at 144fps than those who own GTX1080's so it's hardly unheard of. Plus those same people probably don't use Gsync given it does add a the smallest of lag that is frankly unnoticeable but is apparently still unacceptable.
