Gaming benchmarks: Core i7 3770K 4.5 GHz vs Core i7 6700K 4.5 GHz

1.0v vcore for 4.9 on those cpus really? I never had one have no idea.

Well last i remember getting 4.9 GHz on a chip like that, i would use 1.35 V, and it was not even stable...

Great comparison, and great confirmation that sticking to my Ivy for a while longer is *just fine*.

1.0v vcore for 4.9 on those cpus really? I never had one have no idea.

In the screenshot I see the CPU idling at 0% so that explains it?

There is no way on earth you'll load this and not crash and burn on 1.0v. Good ones can be undervolted to about 1.1-1.15 and still turbo to 4.3-4.4, but that's as good as it gets really.

I believe he is referring to the stock voltage here

As you can see It's default voltage and active voltage are the same I just added a .040mv Turbo voltage and up'd the power limits.
It's what has worked from the onset with this combo so I'm not going to complain.

This new stuff: Core i7 2600K vs. Core i7 8700K

The difference between i7 2600K vs. i7 8700K is supposed to be much bigger than the difference between Core i7 3770K vs. Core i7 6700K, but it is even smaller, despite different games tested. That Hardware Cannucks test just confirms that i've done my own test right! I mean, i compared core per core at the same MHz, just different architectures. I am shocked that Core i7 2600K, being 900 MHz slower at the top core and having 4 less threads in general put's up even a greater fight vs. Core i7 8700K in games! If not the multi-threaded tests of programs, in which Core i7 2600K gets demolished, i would not myself believe in those gaming results...

I am only pissed of that HC used ANTI-ALIASING in all games as well as "just" a GTX1070. I believe had they approached this with no AA and GTX1080 at least, the results would be fair. Sad that this does not exactly show the difference and fair sportsmanship like in my test.

this makes me happy i haven't upgrade my brave locked 3770 i7!

Keep your 3rd and 4rd and more generations or just get a Ryzen.

 

[peche]

or just get a Ryzen.

i rather myself to stay without PC.....

Yes yes get a console then oh wait they do have AMD inside too, guess you have to go Intel covfefe lake then they are great i heard go go go order a bunch for you and your freinds.

i just dont like or care amd products as many people here in this forum, that's why my sarcasm, if that offended you i might apologize... just keeping the topic civilized

 

[Bo$$]

Why upgrade? doesn't even seem worth it if you've got an overclocked cpu.

6 years later a £400 CPU+Mobo+Ram is the same price as just the CPU. Until it costs less than £400 for double the perfomance i don't think it's worth it.

Its a very expensive side grade

Oh come on... that's just silly (and horrible!)

No you don't offended me don't worry, to be honest this Ryzen is my 1st ever AMD cpu and i wasn't expecting this level of power and all that, really glad i did went Ryzen this time around. AMD products even if you don't care are really a must or imagine what Intel would do to consumers, go AMD go.

This is also one of the reasons i stay on x58/i7 980x. Gaming performance vs. Price for new setup cant justified it, as long the x58 works properly.

 

[EarthDog]

You should go 4k.

+1

Whas that to me?

+1

Thanks pal

 

[EarthDog]

Yes, it was to you.

Perhaps at that res it will feel alive!!

 

[Tomgang]

Yes, it was to you.

al right. I am al ready going 4K with Nvidia DSR and even with only DSR the difference between 1080P and 4K is deffenly noticable as in it looks great (going with 1080 TI on X58 turned out to be a great idea and at 4K its the GPU that struggles to keep up), but yeah i know glas ceiling .

until i can afford a 4K screen or at least a 2560 x 1600 screen i must use DSR. Right now that is not possible. Some bloody idiot hit my car an then took of with out any note.
So the repair bill is on my self.

When it rains, it pours...

Sorry to hear that man.

Yeah it suck balls and i am mad about it

Some people shut never drive or even get a driving licens. He where properly drunk or some thing.

I just switched from a i7 2700k running 4.85 - 5.0Ghz depending on ambient to a 6700k @ 4.8ghz. The difference is very minor in raw frame rate but the 6700k does deliver a smoother more fluid gaming experience. I think a big part of that smoothness isn't the cpu but the switch from DDR3 2400 to DDR4 3200. Another nice to have is the motherboard and its peripherals. nVME is a huge upgrade compared to SSD. If I would have had to pay for this upgrade then it wouldn't be something I would have done or recommend to anyone.

Even my older system an i7 950 oc'd 4.5+Ghz was maybe 3-5% slower than my i7 2700k and that was only because I could OC the 2700k higher.

I can confirm about M.2 SSD. After going from a sata SSD to an older M.2 SSD (Samsung 950 PRO) on my X58 system, that gave as well a great bump in how responsive my system is. I am never going back to sata HDD/SSD ever again to OS drive.

and yeah a I7 950 at those clocks is not to shabby either. Had a i7 920 at 4.3 GHz for al most 8 years before i swapped it out for my current I7 980X + they oc great, my I7 980X can do 4.7GHz+ but at a high voltage. Great old CPU´s

Nope, me either. It is so much cleaner looking, no wires, and the speeds are just insane. Boot times and Load screens have been drastically reduced. Yeah the ONLY reason I switch from x58 was because I was given a 2700k.

Totally better. Much cleaner, no stupid power/sata cables and as you say, so much better speeds with out the risk and trouble about setting up raid. Its a blast that ones pc is throw bios post its almost ready for use immediately after boot.
Just a shame i cant get max speed out of my M.2 SSD because PCIe 2 limits its full speed potential but with a X4 PCIe to M.2 adaptor i still get read speeds aroung 1500-1700 MB/s and ride speeds at 950 MB/s. Try doing that with a single sata SSD.

Here is a screenshot of the speed i get on daily bases from my M.2 SSD. max read speed differ depending on how full my drive is, but still far better than sata SSD can do alone.

I also made a boot video from then i just got the M.2 SSD. If you want to compare boot on my old junk to yours much newer pc. But i have no complains when it comes to boot time for hardware that came out about 8 years ago. Spool to 0:40 if you want to skip to boot up.

We all would appreciate if someone could do a 4K gaming benchmark: Core i7 Nehalem 6 core CPU clocked at least 4.5 GHz VS. Core i7 7700K VS. Core i7 8700K with GTX1080 Ti... Actually GTX1080 Ti would be the limiting factor.
