Ryzen 2600 vs i5 8400, intresting reults
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
No overclocking (even memory) on the 8400 with a low-end B360 motherboard
(Although equally the 2600 should have been tested with the same ram and a comparable motherboard)
Thought as much, if they are testing the CPU’s with overclocked memory for one why not get a motherboard that allows it for the other. Seems slack reviewing.
On the plus side they both perform ok.
The maximum memory speed on a B360 is 2666Mhz, on an X370 the memory is still limited to 2933 and it doesn't make much difference, sub 5%.
Motherboard for Ryzen is almost irrelevant since you can overclock the CPU and the Memory on B350/450 and X370/470.
Indeed with the 8400 on a Z370 and both using the same 3400Mhz RAM, the 8400 is slightly faster in most games

Actually that is interesting, he tested the CPU's all at stock, and the 2600 does a lot better stock vs the 8400 than in Steve's review, in every game they are about even.
The thing is the 2600 can OC while the 8400 can't, so the 2600 has more to give, the 8400 that's yer lot.

Thats because hes using a 1080. All were seeing here is a bottleneck.
Yeah could very well be, the GTX 1080 is the limiting factor in that one, tho for them all to get 380 FPS in CS:GO, that's quite something.

Dunno how to use FCAT and Afterburner doesnt work with Destiny 2, had a quick go and it does dip in places but I have no comparison to make against.

All we are really interested in are the frame rates at the same spot, see if its any higher with Ryzen 2###
I don't know how to get the frame counter up that prjwebb used, is it in the options menu?
I'd have a go myself but its still too expensive for something just to mess about with.

Oh I can see FPS and it does drop in that spot but without anything to compare with its meaningless.
Have you not got my 1600 and 8600k results to compare with?

I'm running 1440p maxed with a 1080. Were you running the same?
i set in game to 1080p to take the load of the gpu but usually play in 1440p UW. I have a 1080ti but can assure you it's no where near fully utilised in that area.

I find the settings and resolution make little to no difference though.
