Gaming Benchmarks

I get these aren't gaming focused CPUs only if I skipped over the games I tin can't imagine it would get down to well with many of you, so I've picked four CPU-intensive games that do as good a job every bit any of utilizing cores. That said, most are all-time handled by a six-cadre/12-thread CPU. Battlefield 1 for example still hits the highest frame rates on the Cadre i7-7700K -- still, for a cadre-heavy CPU the 7900X performs great, and so did the 7820X and 7800X.

Mafia 3 was one of the few games that really took advantage of Ryzen when it was first released, allowing AMD to enjoy strong gains over the 7700K in this title. However, the game was quickly patched to either get less CPU intensive or amend optimized, I'm not sure, simply the direct result was lower CPU utilization while achieving slightly meliorate frame rates. Here nosotros see that the game still favors the higher clocked 7700K merely also notwithstanding requires more iv threads as the 7600K is quite a long style downwards our graph.

Hitman is a surprisingly CPU demanding title. Delight annotation I've tested using DirectX 11 to avoid the issues Nvidia GPUs seem to accept with Ryzen when using DX12, though I oasis't revisited this recently. Anyway, the Skylake-10 CPUs perform well, though again it's the 7700K that'due south the fastest option hither.

Finally, we have Ashes of the Singularity, the only game that tin can actually take reward of x-core CPUs, though at this point it's more of a synthetic benchmark than a game anyone really plays. Nonetheless, it give us an idea of what time to come games might require, though how far abroad that time to come is anyone'south guess.
