Firestrike Ultra 4K Bench.

Titan V is a beast at 2160p but not very good at 1080p.

I think this reflects the strengths and weaknesses of HBM2.

If reviewers want to compare the Titan V and 2080 Ti it should be done at high resolutions as this is what these cards are for.

Agreed. I have zero interest in 1080p anyway, 2160p all the way :D

Same here guys. My CPU makes benching here a waste of time. This is why I prefer game benchmarks these days. Had a look at my graphics score and it is 7724 which would get me in the top 10 easily if I had Kaapstad's CPU :p

Surprised to see the Titan V kicking ass. From all the benchs I have seen so far Titan V is still king.

100% agree! I think with an good CPU score I could get into 4th /3rd :p I think I'll wait for reviews on the 9900k. this 4790k has lasted my 3 years now and I could still get a nice bit of money back for itself, Motherboard and Ram :D

Trouble is, let’s be honest, probably apart from a handful of games like Ashes of a Singularity you won’t see any difference in FPS when playing majority of games :p

So are you upgrading purely for benchmarks Tommy? ;)

I got mine on release over 5 years ago. Every time a new CPU comes out I look at it and think meh, how will this change anything for me? Windows will load up 2 seconds quicker? Better benchmarks?

The main thing I think that may make me upgrade is wanting something new. Also would ideally like to go AMD zen 2 if they deliver.

This^

The 4770k and later CPUs are all very good gaming chips with very little difference in performance.

Some of the latest CPUs are actually worse for gaming like the 7980XE due to its MESH setup.

Well I mean I'm 3rd on the Benchmark rank table with an 8 year old £30 CPU :p
Click to expand...
So you should be mate, you have a brand new card that costs over £1000 :p

You probably would not be if Tommy or I had Kaapstad's CPU ;)

This benchmark does not seem to accurately reflect how important the CPU is at 4K is what we are saying. If you had Kaap's CPU you probably would have a much higher score yourself, closer to 9000 I would imagine.

Dam, I've been busted ;) I just like new hardware! :D I wouldn't expect you to have noticed but every GPU launch I've always got one, heck I've had 5 different 980 Ti's! I've had 2 different 780 Tis, one I bought about a year ago iirc? for £20 sold as not tested, guess what. It worked and sold it for £100 :D I've had a 1080 Ti and now Titan. I just rarely touch the cpu. Last one I had was a 4690k and the one before that was the trust i5-750 :p

I'd love to go AMD route as well although looking at the games benchmarks Intel are always ahead though I do game at 4k so.... but then again when 4k 120/144hz is more affordable I'll probably jump on that which would need a beefy cpu to keep the frames up there :)

I like new hardware also. Click the link in my sig which says GPU History. With GPU's at least we see a difference in games. With the CPU like you, after so long I just want something new. Truth is I should just wait for 5nm or something and go for AM5 socket with AMD. But that means waiting until 2021 probably and I just dont fancy waiting that long.

I am not too fussed about higher fps personally. 60 is plenty as I don't play games that benefit from it much. I am more of a single player campaign guy where anything smoother is kind of pointless and a waste of money imo. Not to say it is not desirable at all by the way. If the cost difference was small then I would get it. But we know driving a game from 60fps to 120fps at 4K is huge and in the future it will likely be the difference between paying £3xx and £1xxx for a GPU. Not thanks :p

Do people buy all the latest gear so they can beat other people in benchmarks seems a right waste of time and money to me.

Sure, I can understand that. But then the same could be said about those who like buying cars that go from 0-60 in 3 seconds or less. Seems like a waste of money to me, but many seem to like it. Each to their own.

Lol. I thought you said you was not getting a 2080 Ti as it was pointless due to it being inferior to the Titan V and there being no Ray tracing content for it yet. What changed? :p
