It doesn't cause it's a RAM test.
Yes, its a RAM test to show how it improves FPS in a game. So, wouldn't more valid testing be to at least use AA at 1080p (which is what most users do that have at least half a clue)? People don't run 1080Ti's at 1080p with no AA. To that end, it is exaggerating the results with an unrealistic testing environment. I don't care what card or CPU is used, 1080p with Ultra/High settings and AA his how people do (who aren't running a 1050, lol).
When you test ram for games you have to be cpu bottlenecked, same as you test a gpu you have to be gpu bottlenecked, like I said no one seems to have a problem with testing at 1050Ti/1060 type of card with top of the line CPU. Why ? It's unrealistic as well.
Why do you have to be CPU bottlenecked? You aren't when playing with normal settings? Why fabricate that environmental variable when testing?
You keep harping on low-end cards with high-end CPUs like it has something to do with this. I can't help how others test, nor is that any justification for testing in an equally lopsided manner (and to be clear, I am referring to HEDT CPUs excluding 7740K and its little brother - I believe testing with a 7700K or 8700K is absolutely fine. Plenty buy this way
). Can we focus on the discussion
?
It's good to have tests like that, what people do with the results is their choice, 99% will still try to find the sweet spot, and how are they going to do that without such test ?
There is no way everyone will be happy. My only concern is people see this data and think they will achieve the same results at their settings and resolution. They won't. IMO, the best way to test is more realistic running situations. If you are going to use a 1080Ti down to a 1060, at least run at 1080p Ultra/High with gobs of AA, or better yet, 2560x1440. I feel complete testing will test this fabricated environment and something more realistic so users have results closer to where they play. AS this testing stands, people look at it and think they will see these gains where they play, and they won't.
if it's proved in most cpu bottlenedked conditions then it's 100% true.
It isn't though. That is what I am saying. Because in many games, you are not cpu bottlenecked unless you rock Sandybridge or lower on Intel and every AMD cpu not named Ryzen. Some are, but then are they actually memory bandwidth limited which is what they are actually testing???? Lots of variables...
Oh well, a never-ending discussion again. Sorry I brought it up.
