Link: 7700k vs. 1700x ( AMD wins almost any gametest now, WOW )

 

It's all good news for pc users. Intel is rumoured to be "rushing" out the door coffee lake with a i5 using 6 real cores and guessing i7 version with 6 real and 12 threads. It used to be so easy the last 6-7 years regarding CPU decisions but now not so. Guessing these coffee lake will come with another 5-10% IPC gain. Looks like Intel chose not to cut prices but rather get Coffee Lake out at least 6 months earlier than originally planned. I guess cutting prices for them kind of cheapens their premium branding.

I dont get it. Previous reviews all showed the 1700/1800x all getting beaten out by the 7700k. This shows otherwise. Why?

 

Im dying for someone to do a direct DCS comparison.

 

Rage,

 

I am puzzled too but I cant say I dislike it. My 7700k doesnt get slower just because AMD is pulling even or even surpassing it ( at default clocks ).

 

Yes, some Hardcore DCS comparison is needed indeed, to clarify things. Time is ripe and those new UEFI's seem to have fixed some as well as their power profile.

Maybe because they are using GTX970 which is causing GPU bottleneck to show any real difference between the CPUs, especially in higher resolutions.

 

This. The card only becomes the bottleneck at 1440p, and even then most of the titles chosen are probably optimised for multithreaded CPUs. (Except for Farcry4).

 

Still waiting for a real world DCS test.

The thing you have to keep in mind is that the $250 R5-1600X is massively more powerful than the $350 I7-7700k, but only in applications that use all those threads. New games, especially DX12 and Vulcan titles, love more threads and so Ryzen does well in those. However, DCS is effectively single threaded and so the fact that an R5-1600X is around 30-40% more powerful than an I7-7700k is simply not relevant. The 7700k's 25% single thread performance advantage is all that matters to DCS. I fully expect for Ryzen to soundly beat Intel's current offerings once more DX12 and Vulcan titles are used in benchmarking.

 

But the question here is about DCS, I'm very curious as to how well an overlocked Ryzen does. I don't expect DCS to change much anytime soon, so if a Ryzen CPU grants acceptable performance in DCS, even if inferior to the 7700k, then its non-DCS peformance makes it a clear winner in my eyes. But if it doesn't run DCS any better than my locked I5-4690, then I don't see myself buying it as my I5 can't handle certain areas of the Caucuses map. My RX480 running at 1440p is heavily CPU bottlenecked on that map due to tree count and some of the airfields.

because new platform teething issues. AMD has been having latency and memory issues with early BIOS. Expect it to gradually match the 7700K as new BIOSes get released (it inst there yet in DX11 but close)

 

1700X has double the threads for the same price. If it holds on its own with DX11 with a full Ghz disadvantage, then when its firing on all cylinders on DX12 the 7700K will be left in the dust.

I don't know either, and I like that change. But anyway it's not only how many FPS more or less there are, also how much more does 7700k cost compared to Ryzen. Now it's even better, but even before it was good enough for the price IMO.

 

 

AMD CPU is to be considered, definitely, for my next rig :D . I also wait for a DCS test.

That says 395€ 7700K, and 369€ 1700 if I'm not mistaken. Not as much as I expected, but still cheaper though prices change really quickly and from place to place. Here they are priced really close, 345 the 7700K and 356 the 1700. Well, I guess it's more a question of what the prices are at the moment you buy.
