| JEMC said: By the way, TechPowerUp has made an article analysing why their AMD 5000 series CPU reviews had gaming results that were so different than the ones from other sites. Turns out that moving from a 3200 CL14 to a 3800 CL16 RAM kit and brought big improvements, and those improvements increased again moving from Turing to Ampere. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-10900k-vs-amd-5900x-gaming-performance/ |
I knew that the GPU limit was the reason for a while now, following the discrepancy between the tests of most Youtubers and PC Games Hardware (a German Magazine and Website), who test their CPUs in 720p and with settings specifically set to reduce GPU load as much as possible to not run into a GPU limit if possible. The Result: Zen 3 was trouncing the 10900K in all the games, without exception - even though they still used a 2080Ti for better comparison with older tests (their test suite gets updated only once every year or so)
They still used DDR4-3200 at JEDEC standard speeds for Zen 3 (as per it's official spec sheet), so imagine if they used faster memory. Though that part will probably be covered in the magazine when it comes out in 2 weeks
