Gaming Benchmarks

Due to time and how much we already have to comprehend, we're going to show the gaming functioning of just half a dozen titles. Starting with Assassin's Creed Odyssey the 9900K boasts frame time performance by simply 4% at 1080p when compared to the 8700K while the 9700K was slightly better providing a vii% increase. Sometimes nosotros meet CPUs performing improve with SMT disabled if they have more cores than the game requires.

The Ryzen processors become mugged at 1080p when looking at the average frame rate, here the 9900K was 23% faster, though it was just 10% faster for the one% low result. Again we are using an RTX 2080 Ti and we see when moving to the more than appropriate 1440p resolution the margins outset to actually compress.

Here the new 8-core models offer basically no performance reward over the 8700K. That said the performance advantage over Ryzen was nonetheless reasonably significant and information technology'southward not until we hit the 4K resolution that the margin is nearly entirely eliminated. Still this isn't a very adept title for Ryzen and then let's move on to Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Here we come across much more than respectable performance from the Ryzen processors and even at 1080p the Intel Core i7 and i9 processors don't offer noticeable performance gains over the 2700X. The 9900K was just 5% faster than the 870K while the 9700K was seven% faster.

And then at 1440p we see no real difference between the Intel processors and at present Ryzen is less than x% slower. Finally at the 4K resolution nosotros see the playing field netrelized and now all v tested CPUs enabled the same 76 fps on average.

Adjacent upwards we have Forza Horizon 4 which isn't a particularly CPU demanding title so unsurprisingly all CPUs enabled a similar level of operation. This is a expert example of how most games will behave, as nearly games are indeed GPU bound.

Like Assassin'south Creed Odyssey, Hitman is a title that plays a little oddly with Ryzen and this gave the Intel CPUs a serious performance advantage, especially at 1080p and 1440p. The 9900K was also up to 12% faster than the 8700K which can be seen when comparing the 1% low results at 1080p.

Rainbow Six Siege shows little to no functioning gains for the 8-core 9th gen processors over the 8700K, even at 1080p. Meanwhile the Intel processors did offer a operation boost over the Ryzen 7 2700X, fifty-fifty at 1440p, though the gains won't exactly be noticable.

The concluding game we're going to look at is Shadow of the Tomb Raider and here the 2700X gets trounced at 1080p, limiting the RTX 2080 Ti to effectually 90 fps on average while the Intel CPUs pushed on to hit effectually 120 fps. That said for the most role the 9900K and 9700K offered no existent performance comeback over the 8700K. The 9900K did allow for a ten% boost to the 1% low issue at 1080p but other than that, not much to written report here.

I also took the time to examination gaming functioning with the 9900K and 9700K overclocked to v.1 GHz. Interestingly we see no performance gain when testing with Assassin'due south Creed Odyssey, even at 1080p. We've found in the by overclocking the 8700K lead to almost no performance gains at 1080p with the 1080 Ti and the same appears true with the RTX 2080 Ti.

Once more testing with Star Wars Battlefront II shows no existent advantage to overclocking these CPUs, a mere 3% performance heave is seen for the 9900K and even less for the 9700K.

That said Hitman is a title that did come across double digit operation gains from the overclock, hither the ninth gen eight-core processors were up to 12% faster at 1080p and 1440p once overclocked.
