Have finally completed my first game comparison between my maxed 5950x, my 5800x3d and golden samples Alderlake cpus @ ~5.6ghz and ~7200MT/s
vs
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: 1080p lowest:
- 5950x @ ~5100/5000mhz = 353fps average cpu game
- 12900k @ 5750mhz 4300MT/s CL14 = 373fps average cpu game
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 402fps average cpu game
Horizon Zero Dawn: 1080p performance preset, lowest res scale:
- 5950x @ ~5100mhz = 301fps average cpu game
- 12900k @ 5580mhz 7160MT/s CL30 = 321fps average cpu game
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 313fps average cpu game
F1 2020 1080p low dx11: Australia benchmark location and dry weather:
- 5950x @ ~5100mhz = 490 average fps
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 555 average fps
Farcry6 1080p ultra, HD-texture enabled, FSR QTY:
- 5950x @ ~5100mhz = 163 average fps
- 12900k @ 5580mhz 7160MT/s CL30 = 203 average fps
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 176 average fps
Cyberpunk 2077: 1080p low
- 5950x @ ~5100mhz = 252 average fps
- 12900k @ 5580mhz 7160MT/s CL30 = 304 average fps
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 268 average fps
Final Fantasy XV 1080p low: (game engine limited, results with grain of salt)
- 5950x @ ~5100mhz = 23426 score
- 12900k @ ~5700mhz(?) = 23585 score
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 23489 score
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker 1440p maximum: (game engine limited, results with grain of salt)
- 5950x @ ~5100mhz = 30553 score
- 12900k @ ~5700mhz(?) = 33891 score
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 33764 score
HardwareLux Counter-Strike: Global Offensive benchmark settings: (only scale with clockspeed it seems)
- 12900k @ 5500mhz 4133MT/s CL16 = 954 fps
- 5800x3d @ 4450mhz = 716 fps
Max tuned Alderlake beats out Zen3 in games, but i have to say i'm pretty impressed by the5800x3
...Considering zero binning/golden samples are required for 5800x3d and they dont scale with memory, so you can use a cheapo x470 together with 3200/3600MT/s memory for a nice "low-end gaming machine".
My old Spectre install was bloated at this point, so i made a new win10 install for the 5800x3d runs..
(earlier when i did the 5950x runs the spectre install were pretty slim)
And i have no control over the Alder Lake windows installs, but those runs are cherry picked super golden samples with the highest scores i could find.. (binned cores+binned IMC+super cooling+best of the best memory) But feel free to improve the AL numbers if anyone can, maybe
@JoeRambo ?)
For this to be a even more fair comparison of "maxed out gaming systems" i would need a new motherboard with an external clockgen so i could run the 5800x3d at ~4900mhz instead of 4450mhz, but i dont think that would change the outcome much in the end either.. Alder Lake should still come out on top.
*edit*
Added some Alder Lake screenshots
