1. PUBG is notoriously poorly optimized, so not really a great benchmarking game.
2. You shouldn't base any decisions on benchmarking just one game, unless you _only_ play that one game.
3. You should take a critical look on your results and ask yourself "do these make sense". You're getting higher FPS with a higher CPU load and higher resolution, which means there's something wrong with your benchmark (could be related to point #1).
4. If the games have internal frame caps, then the choice of CPU matters even less.
5. In CS:GO you're basically CPU limited even with a GTX 1060 GB @1080p and everything maxed out. Your suggested benchmark would not reveal anything new, since all of these CPUs should be enough to push the average FPS to 300+.
1. Agree. That's the point. We are all taking tests on games with 2-5 yo engines, which are not optimized for 8700k, even for 7700k. Also taking tests in GPU-dependent games. You can take a glance for comparison of 1080TI vs 1080TI SLI in Project Cars @1080p Medium. 340 fps vs 354 fps. So does it mean SLI is not that good? Nope, that is just shitty comparison. Because @2160p Ultra it's 124 fps vs 195 fps. And Battlefield 1 can't even SLI, showing less fps then single GPU.
2. My friends were asking for this test, because this is the only game we play for last 5 month. Top200 EU, tryharding, you know...
3. A bit strange, yes. But I assume that i5-4670 bottlenecking 1080 TI(or bottlenecking himself somehow) @1080p, but not @1440p. During 1080p tests CPU loaded for 60-71% and GPU about 70%, during 1440p tests CPU @92%, GPU @99%
4. And again that is the point. We also can pick 2 dozens of different processors and make some tests for games @800*600, all low. And then "Hey, look. i5-650 can also do 300 fps". Why the hell we are comparing different generation of new processors, built for 1440p, 2160p gaming on 1080p?
5. Yes and no. Because perfect conditions for CS:GO are "< 1080p resolution, minimal graphics, minimum cores, maximum frequency per core" and suddenly i5-8600k losing to i3-8350k. Rivatuner showing that i3-8350k loading 1st and 4th core for 89%, and 2nd and 3rd for 15-20%. Fair enough? Makes sense?
