I decided I'd do some real world testing. I bought the 9700k. I dont have a huge suit of games to benchmark but I thought I'd share my results. Division 2 at 1440p had 1 fps difference 9600k vs 9700k. CPU usage dropped by 17% though, settling average to 47% on i7 vs 64% on i5. Stock clocks on...

Easy small boosts can be done simply even with XTU. Bumping the turbo boost for all cores to 4.6ghz is about a 7percent overclock. You can also offset the vcore by like -.05 to reduce voltage, even more of you go through slowly and test stability. I think just a turbo multiplier to 46 all cores...

Do you have some links to good reviews I could check over? Im always interested to learn more. The higher tiered processors ARE better, no question. But even in most reviews they are comparing all these CPUs when paired with very high end cards. I dont see the 1% lows being a factor on a low or...

I believe that. The OP is asking about it 9600k, which is a 6 core processor. The 1300x was definately bottlenecking the Vega 64 by around 40% based in the calculator. Even comparing 1800x to 9600k, the landslide advantage goes to the 9600k in pure single core speed. Just newer tech. You can...

You guys are just a little bit out of touch, I believe. You can check bottleneck numbers pretty easily. 1660 w/ 9600k is golden. 9700k vs 9600k performance numbers dont justify the price difference for gaming. My own setup is a 9600k w/ rtx2070 super. At factory clock speed, the 9600k is a...
