My point is your 2070 is pretty much 1070 Ti level, a good 50% more powerful than his at 1080p, and that result was from using GRW as part of the bench content.

Most players have to deal with budget limitations, he just needs appropriate settings for his. I'm not surprised you can get by fine on max settings because a 1070 Ti is pretty close to the 1080 I'm using on max settings as well.
Ryzens can fluctuate more than just via the chip quality though. They can be finicky as hell with certain hardware configs, and it helps to keep as much RAM free as possible. I was hoping Ryzen would compete well with Intel, and in some ways it does, but I don't stream and I didn't want to take any chances being one of the unfortunate ones.
