Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Bottom-line: don't bother considering this CPU if you're gaming at resolutions above 1080p. Which leads to the question: WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GAMING AT 1080P WITH THIS CPU ANYWAY?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 This is useful for competitive players, Pros, or people wanting to take full advantage of a 240Hz monitor. Otherwise it's overkill, and will probably be overkill for a long time to come as devs start hammering our GPUs even harder with ray tracing. Even at 1440p with LOW settings, I am GPU limited with a 1080 Ti in games like COD Warzone and Apex Legends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoandGeo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Very disappointed to see only negligible increases to IPC from my 8700k. Clocked at 5.2Ghz, I score about 1-2% higher on CPU-Z single core test than the 10900k@5Ghz. What is the OC headroom for the 10 series? I know I am at the absolute limit of what my chip is capable of, had 5.3 stable, but that came and went and cannot be returned to I don't believe.

There's really no reason for you to upgrade unless you need more cores. The 8700k is still a beast for gaming. If you haven't already, you might try looking to increasing your memory speed and/or timings. IIRC, 3000-3200 MHz was the normal memory speed when the 8700k released, and you could see some nice gaming gains if you push for 3600 or higher.
