Gaming Performance Cont.
In order to test gaming performance properly and really get a good feel for it, and cover all the bases for the big picture, we decided to test 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions, all three resolutions to see from top to bottom how these CPUs affect performance games. For testing, we are using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition video card. Since we are testing all 3 resolutions, it’ll be a good mix to see where the CPU matters and where it doesn’t.
All the graphs below are not sorted, they are not sorted from fastest to slowest as in previous graphs, instead, they are simply labeled in groups by platform, from fastest CPU to least fastest CPU. As you look at performance, try to look down the column of the resolution, to see which one is faster than the other, to help your eyes see which one is faster.
Cyberpunk 2077
In Cyberpunk 2077 performance at 4K is very similar. At 1440p we start to see some differences, and the new Intel Core i5-13600K is at the top of performance, edging out the 5800X3D by 3% and the 7600X by 6%. At 1080p the 13600K improves performance over the 7600X by 4% and the 5800X3D by 3%.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Flight Sim greatly benefits from new CPUs, either Ryzen 7000 series or the Intel 13th Gen. At 4K the 13600K matches performance with the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs. It improves upon the 12600K by 7%, and this is at 4K. At 1440p the 13600K is just under the 7600X, but faster than the 5800X. The same is true at 1080p.
Crysis Remastered
In Crysis Remastered the Intel Core i5-13600K is on par with everything else at 4K. At 1440p it is 6% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X and 3% faster than the 12600K. At 1080p the 13600K is 5% faster than the 7600X and nudges out over the 5800X3D. It’s also 9% faster than the 12600K.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, everything is the same at 4K. At 1440p, it’s also very close. At 1080p though, we see some differences. The 13600K is on par with the 7600X but does improve upon the 12600K by 6%.
