Call of Duty WWII, Project Cars 2, Rainbow Six Siege

Moving on we have Call of Duty WWII and here we meet when using the normal quality settings that the 5820K does quite well even before it's overclocked. Wound up to 4.6GHz, the chip is able to lucifer the Core i5-8400 with an impressive average of 200fps and that'south just ten% slower than the Core i7-8700K at 4.8GHz.

Interestingly, the margin really grows with the actress quality settings in play and at present the overclocked 5820K is 14% slower than the overclocked 8700K. That's non significant, specially given that the 5820K is pushing over 110fps at all times.

At 1440p we only encounter a slight reduction in operation as even here we seem more CPU than GPU express. The 5820K remains a little over ten% slower than the 8700K -- here we see a 13% margin.

Project Cars 2 is the 2d to concluding game we're going to look at and we're again starting with the medium quality settings at 1080p. Unexpectedly, we constitute that the overclocked 5820K can max out the GTX 1080 Ti and therefore lucifer the overclocked 8700K. This is interesting because on ultra quality, which obviously impacts CPU performance, we run into a alter (you'll come across information technology in a moment likewise).

With the ultra quality settings enabled at 1080p, the overclocked 5820K drops down and isn't much faster than its stock configuration. However, the overclocked 8700K remains potent here whereas the 5820K was 16% slower.

And then at 1440p we're at present heavily GPU limited and all tested configurations come together with little variation seen between the CPUs. As a effect, overclocking the 5820K is of niggling do good here.

The last game we tested was Rainbow 6 Siege and here we come across a dainty 18% operation boost for the 5820K in one case overclocked. Using the medium quality settings, the 5820K was 12% slower than the overclocked 8700K and with well over 180fps at all times that's clearly a skilful event for Intel'southward older half-dozen-cadre CPU.

On ultra quality, the GTX 1080 Ti starts to limit the performance of the overclocked 8700K and as a result the 5820K is now just ix% slower. Once more we just saw frame dips to 150fps so an extremely smooth feel can be had with the 5820K.

Every bit nosotros oft find at 1440p, fifty-fifty with an extreme GPU we're all the same mostly limited past the graphics menu hither and at present the 5820K is but v% slower than the 8700K. And then if y'all're playing at 1440p or greater, you're not really going to discover a deviation.
