Gaming Performance Continued
We are going to focus on the 4K, 1440p, and 1080p gameplay performance. The common GPU used for every CPU is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition video card. Each graph has all three resolutions on each CPU included, but the order and sorting do not change in each graph. You can look at the framerate between CPUs at each resolution.
Metro Exodus
We wanted to include the original Metro Exodus (not the Enhanced Edition) in our benchmarks today since Intel specifically specified it as one of the whitelisted games for its Intel Application Optimization technology. We are running the benchmark in the “Extreme” quality preset.
4K performance is exactly the same between the CPUs, but at 1440p we start to see some deviation. The 14600K is 3% faster than the 7700X and 7600X. At 1080p there is a greater difference, the 14600K is 4% faster than the 7700X and 7600X. We don’t see any difference between the 13600K and 14600K here.
Dying Light 2
In Dying Light 2 we are running with the latest patch 1.12.2. We are using the “High” preset but have turned on DX12 Ultimate and ASYNC. We are running the benchmark.
In Dying Light 2 there is no difference at 4K or 1440p between the CPUs. We do see some differences at 1080p though. The Ryzen 7 7700X oddly came out the winner here, surpassing the 14600K by 4% and surpassing the 7600X by 6%. The 14600K is just slightly faster than the 7600X by 2%. The 14600K is faster than the 13600K by 2%.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II
In Call of Duty Modern Warfare II benchmark, we are running at the “Extreme” quality preset, with no upscaling. Everything is turned on.
Oh boy did we see one major difference in this game, the Ryzen 5 7600X tanked poorly at 1080p. The Ryzen 7 7700X surpassed the 7600X by 11%. That means the 14600K surpasses the 7600X by 13%. Otherwise, the 14600K is the same performance as the 13600K here, and not too far from the 7700X performance.
