Digital Foundry is the Performance Review Top Tier But....

You have to question why pc guys are benchmarking these things at 1080p or 720p as well.

You should be giveing people a honest representation of real world performance.
Now one buys a Geforce 2080ti to game at 720p or 1080p.

Because it's a CPU speed test, and the purpose of it is to show, which one is faster. What's the point of testing different CPUs, where all your results are GPU bound? It's like testing the car's maximum speed and follow speed limits. And yes, that would be an honest representation of the real world performance ... and also one, useless speed test. There's nothing wrong with the test. Intel is faster, and of story.

If you're limited by your GPU (whether you game in 4K or if you have lower-tier GPU), faster CPU makes little to no difference. There are plenty of websites out there, which test CPUs with a variety of different GPUs. 

If the GPU is the same on both tests and you are running the game at the max and either CPU doesn't make a difference then that is very important conclusion.

And you can do the comparison outside of gaming. But the way they did is quite misleading.
