Despite having higher avg and min (99th percentile or whatever) 7700k has 100ms+ FPS hikes, unlike Ryzen in GTA5.
It would be major news, had it been vice versa:
Actually, he's saying that he can barely notice the difference above everything else... so it really isn't news, there is some hitching that he cannot really put his finger on and he is throwing out a few theories to discuss. He also clearly points out it could be any number of other factors besides Ryzen - which is 100% on the money as we ALSO know that Nvidia + Ryzen has some sort of perf penalty compared to for example the Fury he put in on a test bench (which he says pushed comparable FPS to a 1080ti (!)). Most likely, this is a frame pacing related issue originating from the GPU, not so much the CPU, and the combination of other components with that GPU, of which Ryzen vs the 7700K are the two he suspects.
'There is really no difference' is what dominates this video. It's a nice insight, but not something to draw any conclusions from...
