Discrete GPU Benchmarks
3DMark
During the 3DMark Fire Strike test, the i7-7770K attained an excellent score and almost pipped the i7-5960X. Once overclocked, the CPU performed better than an Intel i7-5820K running at 4.4GHz and was tantalising close to surpassing the i7-6950X.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Switching from the i7-6700K to the i7-7700K in Rise of the Tomb raider causes the frame-rate to improve by a good amount Furthermore, the overclock ensures the CPU finishes in the top spot and complements the GTX 980Ti rather nicely.
Shadow of Mordor
Once again, the processor excels in gaming scenarios and remained ahead of the i7-6700K, although the gap is much smaller than the previous result. Overclocking the i7-7700K to 5.1GHz has a positive effect and allows the test bench to exceed a 140 frames-per-second average.
