What can you derive out of this?

1. Your system is plenty fast
2. At 1080p your card is not performing at potential
3. At 1440p your card is not performing at potential
4. At 2160p heck your score even better than mine by a little bit so what factor it is left I don't know but it's negligible.

The key point you need to know is that Stormblood is not demanding on the CPU and is not a good representation of games in general. At Full HD I saw that the CPU load on average was less than 50% on all cores, at 4K UHD the average is under 20% and more often than not the cores show single digit load.

Thanks for the reply , really appreciate your output . This 2600k is really a beast been using it since 2011 and still alive till now regardless of the punishing OC I torture it .

Kinda tempted to upgrade to 7700k since can get my friend to help with EPP purchase but I think ima wait for Skylake X or Kaby lake x . For now i'm playing on 4k TV and the input lag is

Welcome to EVGA boat

I was used 2 be EVGA kaki in kepler years then pascal jump back taiwan brands

Good luck waiting then haha

The 2600k will always be the few i7 legend since i7 920 and the great Q6600 quad core

How about waiting Cannonlake

Sandy Bridge My i5 2500K OCed to 4GHz and can still handle most modern games just 10-20fps lower than non-OC Ryzen 1700 in DOOM ( maybe not even that much as I didnt test DOOM for months, and driver/patch could had optimize games further )

Nice explanation. From my understanding, the higher the resolution, the less CPU bound it becomes and more GPU bound... That's why CPU bottlenecks "reduce" or "less likely" to occur as the resolution goes higher.

Because GPU workload exponentially increase with resolution, while CPU workload is the same.

And with 4k

Easy 4.5ghz with air cooling

Used to run that with water cooling, but I reduce it last year, because I got bottleneck on pity 8GB DDR3 1600

This is correct.

Even during Riva TNT days with sub 500Mhz processor, testing was also same.

If overclock processor and see frame rate improve, it means the game / test is CPU bound.

Check out the benchmark for my GTX 1080 Ti review.



You'll see that the gap between Intel vs AMD setup is closer when on 4K Reso.

thank you. this comparison helps me understand a lot as i have an i7-2600K with No GPU. was thinking of getting a GTX1050ti around rm700 or maybe bump a little to 1K and get a GTX1060 3gb? hmmmmm...

note: i be gaming at 1080P though

Then 1060 should be more than enough but 6gb better because now a games suck more memory than last time games

Skip to 1:04



6GB does give quite some advantage on certain titles.

Good if can go 6GB, as even 2 years old GTA 5 will consume more than 3GB on 1080P

Brilliant!

Volta!

dang my pascal is history already argh and its only 3 months old

Glad I'm still hanging on to my 980ti
