Who talked about CS? You again with this non sense just like when we talked about Ryzen 2000 vs Intel. you also said in that time that the difference was minimal, now Ryzen 3000 is out and the difference is minimal, so afterall 2000 was far right? Yeah....
Do yourself a favor and go check what happens when you play games like:
- Battlefield V Multiplayer COnquest Large 64 players
- Black Ops 4 Multiplayer
- Quake Champions
- Escape from Tarkov
- Arma 3
- Apex Legends
Use 1080p with Low/Medium settings with a good GPU. Watch the comparasions between AMD and Intel on that scenario, specifically the 0,1% lows. Even on this review with GPU bottleneck and SINGLE PLAYER, you can see Intel leads on Battlefield. 125fps 1% lows vs 111 on AMD, 168 average vs 155. That´s with GPU at 100%.
You DO NOT need a 2080 ti to take advantage of a faster gaming CPU. Most people that play shooters online use lower settings to get the highest fps possible, and on those scenarios the GPU usage is already lower than 100% for the most part, wich also reduces input lag as any FPS player knows (100% usage = more Mouse latency, you want the GPU at 85% max, preferbaly lower than that).
There are some nasty differences on that scenario, this is just an example, with a whooping 40fps difference:
Another example, from GN with a whooping 50fps difference:
Talk more about "5%" difference.
You guys have problems admiting things as they are. I have no problems saying 3900x obliterates any Intel offer productivity wise as it costs same as 9900k and does WAY more at most productivity tasks, but saying AMD RYzen 3000 is as good as Intel in games or that "You won´t notice" is straight BS. Sorry.
And you guys want to talk about GPU bottlenecked situations? Fine, go grab a R5 2600 for 120€ then, it will offer same performance or within 5%, costing 2 to 3 times less.
