Benchmarks: Overclocking

Before wrapping things up, let's encounter how the Ryzen 3 and 5 CPUs compare to the 7700K one time overclocked. The 1300X has been replaced with the overclocked R3 1200 at 4GHz while the Core i5-7400 has been replaced with the Sandy Bridge Core i5-2500K at 4.4GHz.

The Ryzen 5 1400 is now also at 4GHz while the 7700K has been left untouched and of course so too has the locked Pentium G4560.

So looking at Battlefield 1 we are over again GPU limited with the GTX 1060 but every bit we move to the GTX 1070 the midfield looks more competitive. That said, fifty-fifty when overclocked the Ryzen CPUs are yet slower than what the Core i5-7400 produced in this detail title.

That said, with the GTX 1080 installed the Ryzen CPUs are now slightly ahead of where the i5-7400 was and they're likewise not a great deal slower than the 7700K. The R5 1400 for example was but 10% slower which isn't bad given its price.

Here we see when testing with Overwatch that overclocking the Ryzen 5 1400 really helped it close in on the 7700K with the GTX 1070. The quad-cadre Ryzen iii still struggles and in fact the overclocked R3 1200 is no faster than the stock R3 1300X and this is down to the fact that XFR is disabled one time we overclock.

Even so, one time again we run across that the Ryzen CPUs actually do better with the GTX 1080, at least when compared to the stock figures seen previously. The R3 1200 at 4GHz is now 6% faster than the R3 1300X when comparing the 1% low upshot. Even so, these CPUs are clearly limiting the GTX 1080's performance as the 7700K was able to extract noticeably more frames.

The last game I'chiliad going to look at with the overclocked results is World of Tanks and hither the overclocked Ryzen CPUs are able to take hold of upwards, though they aren't able to match the stock 7700K. However, equally expected, overclocking the Ryzen iii and five CPUs to 4GHz does reduce the clogging but for these older titles they struggle to go the nigh out of even the GTX 1070.
