Performance issues with GPU at 4K resolution...
playing minecraft at high settings with 8K resolution and a 1080p frame rate would likely strain the CPU, offering little chance to fix it except by reducing background processing.
The real differences are minimal, you understand. We were discussing it. Here’s your 5600x at 10700K: 60 seconds of playback at 5600 frames per second—no noticeable change from 60.5fps to 51.5fps. The settings you chose let the CPU render at a synthetic rate, so actual performance didn’t shift. Your GPU’s specs matter too—whether it’s a 6800xt or 6900xt, both are fine. And why is the superposition at 6900xt? Which model do you own?
I need to note that the variations are minor since the benchmark shows dynamic resolution scaling is active (minimum frame rate is 60), unlike the 5600X. I’ll include screenshots of both CPUs for an apples-to-apples comparison. These aren’t small differences, particularly in the quiet moments. I’m running a 6800XT, but Unigine displays it as a 6900XT for some reason.
I attempted to download Gears 5 for testing on my machine, but gave up after what felt like a long wait without any updates on how much longer the extra content would take. Here’s a benchmark from another user and it’s only 1440p—clearly showing a big difference in CPU rendering compared to yours. This result is more than three times the frames your 10700k processor handles. A 4K resolution shouldn’t significantly change CPU render numbers, if at all. It seems the upgrade didn’t help much; maybe something with your original setup was causing issues.
You misunderstood the testing results between the screenshots. The particle spawn rate was actually higher in the 5600 compared to the 10, which could impact CPU render times. I suggest adjusting the 5600 settings to match the 10700 and take a fresh screenshot for accurate data.
Oh man, I totally missed the spawn rate part. Nice eye! Upgrading or swapping things isn’t the first time I’ve done that because something didn’t work as expected—this applies to computers, cars, and plumbing too. Throwing parts at the problem has been my go-to approach more than I should admit.
Usually people upgrade the 10700K and 5600X models, but the 10700K tends to perform better in tougher games (the 5600X shines more in productivity tasks). I get it, but a solid upgrade feels better than just a slight improvement in a few titles. If you're okay with that, I’d prefer something like a 5900X 10900K, a 12th gen i7, or similar.
