![]() We've heard that the new 11th-gen CPUs perform really well in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, leaving their Zen 3 competitors in the dust. We tested with the new Metro Exodus Enhanced version and found that despite being able to push well over 100 fps even at 1440p, thanks to variable rate shading, the CPU played virtually no role here, or rather, these two 8-core CPUs are powerful enough that it makes no difference. Though it was highly repeatable, so the Intel processor is somehow imposing a tiny performance penalty, though in actual gameplay the difference is meaningless. Of course, we're talking about a disparity of just 1 fps. Interestingly, a similar delta is seen at all three tested resolutions, even at 4K. Watch Dogs: Legion is another game where the Ryzen processor is faster but by a meaningless 2% margin. Playing Horizon Zero Dawn, the 5800X was 2% faster at 1080p, which is a negligible difference, especially with both CPUs enabling well over 100 fps at all times. That is to say, for the most part they're really close. To start things off, we'll look at a few games that represent the kind of performance margins we typically see between these two processors when gaming. We'll look at detailed data for about a dozen titles and then get into the usual performance breakdown with all the games. In total, we tested 32 games at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. Our motherboards of choice, for the AM4 platform we have the MSI X570 Unify running the latest BIOS and for the LGA1200 platform the Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Master, using the latest BIOS, and of course, the latest display drivers and Windows 10. That's the memory, and that means we won't be using the typical CL14 3200 kit for this benchmark.įor the GPU, we're not using a GeForce RTX 3090 either, and the reason is that the Radeon RX 6900 XT is simply much faster at 1080p.Īlthough we've also tested at 1440p and 4K, 1080p is really where we're able to compare CPU performance as it helps to reduce the GPU bottleneck. ![]() We've got our hands on a high quality G.Skill TridentZ Neo 32GB kit and it's very impressive. ![]() ![]() There's also the discounted previous generation 10700K at $330, though we won't be looking at that today.īefore we get to the results, a few quick words on today's test setup.īoth CPUs have been tested using DDR4-3800 CL14 memory. Then we have the Core i7-11700K which is a brand new product and has only been available for about 2 months now, currently selling for $399.įor the price, the Core i7-11700K should offer more than decent value and certainly nothing like the i9-11900K, which in this generation is essentially a binned version of the same chip to be sold for $600. Timing couldn't be better for this comparison, since Intel's 11th-gen Core is readily available and from what we've heard AMD is finally flooding the market with Zen 3 CPUs, so buying a 5800X should be a lot easier than it's been since release.Īs of writing, the Ryzen 5800X is selling for around $420 and it appears to be in stock just about everywhere, so things are looking promising. Today we've got a classic head to head CPU battle in our hands, with a comparison between the Ryzen 7 5800X and Core i7-11700K, both of which are 8-core, 16-thread CPUs that cost around $400. ![]()
