Dissuade me from buying 9900K

Thankyou very much, that's a lot better than I can manage with the 5960X! I typically get 46-50fps in YAAB and it's a good argument for not bothering with 9900K.

I just ran YAAB at 1920/1080 got 46fps, I get 33FPS at 4K so its clear Ryzen 2 is a lot better than the youtube vid I posted earlier in this game. Thanks for demonstrating 3700X with decent RAM is clearly a lot better than my current setup Hallelujah!!!

3700x @4.4 16GB 3800

This is way faster than my 46fps at 1080/1920 so I may just be buying Ryzen after all. Quite persuasive tbh! What GPU?

3-5% gains on average would be absolutely huge from updates. Average is actually a couple percent improvement in games on average since release.

This 20-30% gap comparing the two chips is a massive outlier are you sure? What card and res was this 30% gap exposed with?

Whatever the case AMD drivers for this game are screwed.

I can't remember tbh and this game is as you say is a huge outlier nevertheless from the benches people have posted with 3700X at 4.4 vs 9900K at 4.8ghz the difference is actually much smaller than I thought.

i just ran the Arma 3 bench in 1080p standard on my binned 9900KF at 5.3/4000C14 with the 5700XT at stock and get 80-83fps as the runs differ by about 2-3fps.

at stock (4.7 all core boost) my 9900kf scores around 73fps, hence the overclock gives a 15% boost showing that the bench scales with clock speed.

Thanks for that. Nice chip!

I'm still waiting but would probably go for the 9900KS it's just the lack of PCIE lanes that is holding me back.
