Comparing 8700k and 13600k miles in Morales highlights the differences in vehicle condition.

I thought I’d try it out since I already have two systems configured at 1440p, maxing out ray tracing in very high settings and rendering distance on a 6 DLSS quality 2080 Ti with 16 GB RAM, 3333 MHz CL16, NVMe storage. The test took place in a place near Central Park—big road, straight down as close as possible to the road. At around 8700k frames per second dropping to 51 fps, and then 13600k to 93 fps, the huge jump from RTX to 80 fps and beyond really shows how much the CPU helps.
Absolutely, the jump is significant. Honestly, the 8700k performed much better than expected.
The issue lies with your 8700k, making it the worst you've ever experienced.
Last year I faced challenges with the Spider-Man cyberpunk plague battlefield 2042. I believed getting the 13600k would ensure it lasts five years, similar to how the 8700k did.
Required a special copper-nickel plated IHS with liquid metal to stabilize temperature at stock settings. Yes, at stock. My CPU with the new IHS and LM operates similarly to another user’s 8700K, which uses standard IHS and stays cooler. His setup is more stable, though his unit might be a better example. My machine demands higher voltage by default, even with minimal undervolt (around 0.100mV), still delivering 1.45V at 4.7GHz all-core. The 8700K typically needs 1.2–1.25V with no undervolt. I tested it at a LAN party—experimented with lower core voltages but always faced crashes.
Are you in the UK and swapping your 5GHz, 1.31GHz, 4.7GHz, and 1.18GHz devices?
