Question intel 265k and 1440p 240hz

[redbeardkevv916]

I'm considering doing a new build and wanted to try intel out, yes i know I'm silly for thinking that. will the 265k handle 1440p 240hz on a game like black ops 6 for example or will it struggle?

It will not get you 240 FPS even when paired with RTX 4090,

Entire Core Ultra 200-series is a flop. If you want good gaming CPU, look towards Ryzen 9000-series. Ryzen 7000-series does fine as well, while being cheaper than Intel.

If it won't get 240 what would it get . I know people with 7800x3d that maintain 240fps on 1440p. Would this be "that much" slower .

Depends on the GPU you have.

Read the review i linked. It says the average FPS you can expect, IF paired with RTX 4090.

2nd best gaming CPU out there. But even when paired with RTX 4090, one can't get, on average, 240FPS on 2K.

Also, it seems that you don't get, that Core Ultra 7 265K is not comparable to Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
It's like you want to have Radeon RX 7700 XT and then bringing out the excuse:"But people with RTX 4080 Super get X FPS".
Just like RX 7700 XT isn't equal to RTX 4080 Super, same is with Core Ultra 7 265K, it is not equal to Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

240Hz is a tail you'll never catch if games aren't esport oriented, easy to run, titles. Sure, hardware will eventually catch-up but then a new game comes out, circle repeats. Should lower Hz expectations, to say 144, be much closer on the average and you'll mentally enjoy pc gaming more.

Wait until January when Intel is due to release the bios updates for Arrow Lake to see if any improvements have been made in regards to gaming.
