With the launch of the Ruilong series, AMD has ushered in its own new era in the processor market. The second generation of the Acer processor based on the Zen+ architecture introduced not long ago has further enhanced the competitiveness of AMD processors.
We have already tested and analyzed the two models of the Ruilong 7 2700X and the Ruilong 5 2600X. However, we mainly focused on the benchmark theoretical performance of the processor, and the game has relatively less attention. .
So we wrote this article today to find out if the performance of these two processors in the actual game is satisfactory.
Processor specification list
In terms of alignment, the Ruilong 7 2700X has more physical cores than the Core i7-8700K, while the Ruilong 5 2600X supports the Hyper-Threading Technology that the Core i5-8600K does not have. The TDP of several processors is different. Not much. The AMD camp has a price advantage of around 200 yuan, and a free radiator with good performance.
testing platform
Test platform We chose the latest X470 motherboard and Z370 motherboard, the memory frequency is set to 2933MHZ, and the graphics card uses GTX 1080Ti Poseidon from ASUS player country. Also install the latest version of windows10 operating system and driver.
Game performance theory test
3DMark is an authoritative game graphics performance testing software that can comprehensively determine the game performance of the whole machine through a comprehensive test. We tested the Firestrike mode for DX11 and the TimeSpy mode for DX12. The results are as follows:
It can be seen that in the DX11 game, the four processors of the two platforms have won each other, and in the TimeSpy test representing the performance of the DX12 game, the Anyon processor with more physical cores and Hyper-Threading technology has obtained Certain performance advantages.
Game performance measured
The first is a set of game test scores at 2560x1440 (2K) resolution, both turning on the highest quality and turning off vertical sync:
Then the test scores at 3840x2160 (4K) resolution:
It can be seen that, in most games, the new Ruilong processor and Intel's head-to-head match are very anxious, the frame rate gap is very limited.
Basically, if you choose the Ruilong processor, there is no significant difference between the performance in the daily game and the Core platform. Then in the case of the actual game performance is very close, the price is the key to decide who can stand out.
Who is more cost-effective?
As mentioned earlier, the current boxed version of the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and the Ryzen 5 2600X have a price advantage of around 200 yuan compared to the Core i7-8700K and the Core i5-8600K. In fact, if you calculate the installed cost of the entire platform, then the total The difference in price will be significantly opened.
First of all, it must be said that the most popular players in the past two years are AMD's Ghost series RGB radiators.
Take the ghost Prism radiator from the Ruilong 7 2700X as an example. The previous generation of the same size of the ghost MAX retail price reached 400 yuan, the maximum support TDP up to 125W, can fully meet the Ryzen7 2700X cooling needs, and even can be certain The degree of overclocking.
In contrast, the Intel platform's 'K' processor is traditionally not equipped with a heatsink. If the calculation requires an additional heatsink, choosing an AMD platform will obviously save a lot of money on the purchase budget.
In addition, on the motherboard side, as a high-end product of the two camps, if you compare Z370 and X470, then there is not much difference in price.
The AMD platform uses B350 or B450 motherboards. In addition to features such as SLI, features such as overclocking can be completely preserved. Conversely, if Intel platform uses B series motherboards, it will lose overclocking capability. The Z370 motherboard with an average price of more than 1,000 yuan is relative to Generally speaking, the B350 motherboard with less than 800 yuan means a price gap of several hundred yuan.
On the whole, in the case of similar game performance, considering the boxed genuine, if you choose AMD Ruilong platform, it means more than a thousand yuan price-performance advantage.
If you are sensitive to the budget, AMD's new second-generation Ruilong platform is clearly a very worthwhile choice.
