:lol: You truly understand! I said to my wife just the other day, well now maybe more Ubisoft games will actually run smoothly! I will get you before and after benchs for AC Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Cyberpunk, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Any others? 

 

Do you have Crysis Remastered? That would be interesting since nothing around could hold 60 before!

OK, here are my current gaming benchmarks for the requested titles: 

 

Current build: i9-9900K @5.1 all cores, 32Gb DDR4 @3200, 3090 @stock speed, Nvidia driver: 496.49

 

Valhalla - 65 
Odyssey - 68 
Far Cry 6 - 71
Cyberpunk - 60/68 (frame rate is inconsistent on this game, hence the range)
GoTG - 98 -DLSS "Balanced"

Crysis Remastered - 65 DLSS "Performance"

 

All frame rates are taken from that game's built in average or my average based on running the game in a demanding area. All games have been run in 4K at max settings with DLSS/FSR used as available. (for DLSS I typically run balanced or quality mode)

Damn what dlss mode is that for GOTG?

The game runs like butter. My 3080 got 83fps at 4k, max settings - my new 3080 Ti gets 96fps. I have PCIE 3.0 on and not 4.0 enabled, though, because stupid AMD motherboards won’t boot if you enable 4.0 and have a 3.0 card plugged in despite PCIE being backwards compatible (I have a usb 3.2 expansion card for an extra internal header). :dumpster_fire:

Reviews are out!  And it's actually pretty good.  The biggest leap Intel has had since Sandy Bridge. They have taken the performance crown from AMD, although under a full workload 12th gen is not as efficient as Ryzen, consuming quite a bit more power.

Starting with the top-of-the-line Core i9-12900K CPU, we can finally show you how Intel's new 12th generation Alder Lake processor architecture performs and how it's positioned against...

 

WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM

Core i5-12600K is the price/performance king in the Intel Alder Lake lineup. With its competitive pricing of $300 it's a clear winner against AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X and is faster than even the 5800X in many applications and games. This is the gaming CPU you want.

 

 

@Mr.Vic20 Good thing you got a beefy cooler, because it seems anything less than 360mm (or a loud 280mm) will thermal throttle the CPU.

Yup, despite the hype around this chip, I knew it would run hotter than my current one as intel missed 7nm fab for this generation. Impressive for 10nm fab, but still 10nm fab all the same! :p

 

You could go custom water-cooling.  Just like me you can order all the parts and have them sit on the floor for months!

Much as I love a good project, the years of building my own loops are definitely behind me! Work + kids leaves me with little desire to take on that level of DIY. I do love the looks of a full liquid cooled system though!

It's my first time going custom.  I should have everything ready to install, but I haven't mustered up the time and will to do it.  I am going with soft tubing so it will almost be like a CLC loop in that I hope I won't have to disassemble the entire thing to swap a motherboard in the future.

Well, that's a piece of mercy! I'd like to see the finish product when you get around to it, if you don't mind?

Yeah I plan to take some pictures, before and after.  But I certainly don't intend to get the tubing to look absolutely perfect, I'll just let the RGB catch the eye.

I promise not to hold you to the internet's OCD level of polished PC build porn sir!

Mobo shipped and is due tomorrow! Build time draws nigh! :vortex: Sadly I'll need to use an air-cooled tower for a month a Corsair chose to ruin the party by not having their stellar looking iCUE H150i LCD AIO cooling Loop, but otherwise this will be lovely!

You should be getting the H170i anyway, sir :sadsun:

I wanna see some before/after on ubi games when you get it set up! Especially AC, ubi games seem to really like fast ram speed for whatever reason and I’m wondering if ddr5 gives them any sort of a boost! Cyberpunk too of course.

I'd heard some talk about how the CAS latency of the early DDR5 modules is not great so it may not be all that much better than late-gen DDR4, but as the tech matures it will pull away. Will definitely be interesting to see some numbers!

Too bad its latency that needs improving with DDR5 and not Mhz, at least for gaming. 


As mhz goes up, latency seems to also go up. I remember with DDR1 or 2 I’d pay extra for insanely low CAS Latency RAM, now it seems to be “ :shrug: “ as a priority.

 

BTW, going by the reviews for the 170 Corsair AIOs vs the 150, cooling seems pretty much identical, the benefit for the 420mm is the 140mm fans being significantly quieter (and looking better in the case :p )

Yeah, seems so! Some think a CAS of 22 might be as low as DDR5 can go. We'll see how all that pans out in a year or two. For now though, and unsurprisingly, the lowest CAS highest DDR4 beats the current cream of the DDR5 crop in many games.  I'll mess about with the fan curve to give me the ambience I'm comfortable with. I usually find a sweet spot where overclocking is still solid and the Dbs don't pass too far into the perceptible range.

OOOOK, so this rig has taken a bit to dial in. For some reason my DDR5 is cranky with the available XMP profiles and I'm guessing that's down to the profile calling for 1.25v and I'm thinking it should be closer to 1.35v @5200Mhz so I'm temporarily running it at 4400 at the moment. The i9-12900K is amazing! I'm running rock solid at 5.5Ghz on a temporary air cooling solution (82C under full load) as I'm still waiting for my AIO cooling loop to arrive. The list of games I benched before are on average 5-10 FPS higher, even with the current RAM issue! So it seems, and unsurprisingly so, that its all about the single core speed. Very happy right now! :celebrate:

I didn't understand one thing in this post but I'm glad you're happy! I do understand you have an amazing rig.

5-10 FPS, at 4k, is impressive.  I bet the move from PCIE 3.0 to 4.0 is adding a little bit to that as well.

 

 

Also there is yet another factor to memory performance besides speed, latency, and channels:  Rank.  There's single rank, dual rank, and quad+ ranks.  You can achieve the fastest MHz for your RAM with single rank, but dual rank will typically offer a performance boost even at a slightly slower speed.  Quad+ rank is not recommended, for those looking for pure performance, as it puts too much stress on the memory controller therefore limiting the speed and latency you can achieve.
