Those tests are there to show how CPUs perform in games. The very fact that you test CPUs in games is a starting point of them making that cases, as you don't test "CPU performance" in applications that are heavily GPU-dependent (which games are). And they are there to be show a real-life scenario. Meaning a real-life representation. It they weren't, then the resolution tested at would be much, much lower than 1080p. Richard himself has made a point of this in his reviews (Skylake, Skylake vs. Haswell-E, and now their two Kaby Lake tests), and also discusses it in this one.Who told you anything about "real-life scenario", dammit? We talk about testing CPU performance. CPU performance does not improve with resolution, so it is natural to test it at resolution that allows lower GPU load. Some go all the way, like [H] did. Others do not, and keep it at 1080p and high quality settings. But hey, it helps to establish the upper bound on overall framerates you can achieve in any resolution higher than 1080p.
They are never supposed to represent real-life experience when they are CPU tests, they are supposed to represent CPU. Now, gaming tests is a whole another ordeal.
These are gaming tests we are talking about.
The irony of this statement is that i am willing to bet BF1 is CPU-limited by i5 in 1440p too! Lemme check real quick... Yes, i probably would be CPU bottlenecked in 1440p by locked Haswell i5 on 1080.
Lol, check? How did you check? And where is the irony, when even I myself said that and i5 probably would perform inferior to an i7 in BF1 MP at 1440p (but not by much). Or did you also miss that part?
Learn what's called "context". Then apply it.
Context, as in the contect of DF helping create this image of many of its viewers that they HAVE to buy a 7700K, otherwise they'll be bottlenecked? That's the average people getting. Hell, it's the image that even enthusiasts on forums use as "evidence" that games are more multithreaded. Even the basis that Richard himself in that test uses when claiming that "i5 is not enough for gaming". It's funny that you talk about context, without having even seen the DF video yourself. Maybe you should teach Richard about context too, huh?
Because they are YouTubers with all that entails. Otherwise, how do you explain them using SLI 1080s in 2016/2017?
It's completely rational to assume that someone with GTX 1080s in SLI would run in a 4K system.
