    well, looks like I should start saving for a new CPU (and MB, and memory...) :D
    • CPU: i5 6600k
    • CPU OC: - None... in my infinite wisdom I bought a b150 chipset with a k I5 :D
    • Memory: 16GB DDR3L 1600
    • GPU: Nvidia GTX1080

    thread number and ram speed seem to make difference here

    The benchmark (if set up like this at least) is single threaded.

    you say that but jansen lost over 10fps on average by disabling smt

    Which in his case is about 3%, which can be considered within the margin of error.
    It is a DX9 benchmark which has been stripped of all GPU intensive stuff, which leaves the CPU overhead of draw calls, and DX9 is singlethreaded.

    it's also strange how a 8700k at 4.8 beats a 9600k at 4.8

    he then gained like another 20 fps or so by simply enabling xmp

    I think we shouldn't read too much into the small differences, seems to be too much variance for that, it definitely shows that old CPU+RAM combos can really lack performance though, and this makes a huge difference in raceroom when many cars are visible!

    another odd results compared to my ryzen 3600, what windows power plan are you on? For me the Ryzen balanced plan is broken and messes up the boosting of the CPU completely, I had to switch to the windows balanced plan for now until they fix it, got much better performance and idle temps out of it.

    is it considered too big a job to upgrade to dx11 or 12 or vulcan over porting to a new engine?

    I really wouldn't know, but it's probably quite a challenge :p

    Looks like processor clock speed is the single key factor for best performance. Intel should really start marketing that again.

    For dx9.. :D it’s definitely one of the main reasons intel is still king for gaming though for sure, but my ryzen 3600 results definitely show AMD is seriously close. And that’s only at 4.1-4.2GHz still!

    I assume the benchmark is only measuring single thread performance. It would be interesting to see a test on a game with M/T capabilities for the people considering buying a new processor right now

    Here goes.

    • CPU: Intel i7 4790k
    • CPU OC: 4.4 GHz all cores
    • Memory: 16GB DDR3-2400MHz @ 1600
    • Memory timings: CL9-9-9-24-1T
    • GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX1080

    I'm not running the RAM at 2400Mhz in XMP as the latency goes up and I find I get some slight micro glitches now again and previous tests didn't really gain anything so leave it at 1600 for stability.
