Ryzen Vs Intel GTX 1080 Ti Showdown Revisited

3D Mark

All of the chips maintained a similar graphics score of over 27000, and while the Ryzen 1800X was noticeably lacking at stock clocks, overclocking brought it back in line with the 5820K OC, but it’s the 7700K that takes the crown here.

As we’ve seen in other Ryzen reviews and tests, pushing past 1080p is where those extra Ryzen CPU cores start to provide gains, with Ryzen pulling a slight lead here, and strangely the 7700K dropped back while overclocked, not sure what happened but we retested and kept getting the same results.

This chart makes more sense, and the 7700K is firing on all cylinders again for the 2160p testing, coming in just behind the Ryzen 1800X while overclocked; a solid performance from all chips overall.

Ryzen gains a significant advantage in Time Spy, as it uses the DirectX 12 API, which makes good use of all the CPU cores, giving AMD a distinct advantage. Of course, synthetic benchmarks are not representative of real world performance, so let’s move on and try some games!
