What CPU to buy for gaming
But not the testing know-how. Dig into your results more and explore what is going on, and why. Find out what conclusions can be made, and how generalized you can make them. I dont doubt that you can code a single isolated example of a game engine that remains significantly CPU bound going from 1080p to 4k and converts from cache bound to frequency bound or core bound. But lets stress that is an incredibly unique situation and not something that can be generalized, or a real-world game will demonstrate. There are games that are not cache bound at 1080p, so remain not cache bound at 4k. but that isn't what was stated. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-r...3d/18.html https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-r...3d/16.html The single game in this test suit that the 5900x won at 1080p as also the single game in this test suit that won at 4k What is binding the CPU performance generally does not change signficantly enough between the two resolutions for them to swap positions. OP, with zero caveates, should look at the 5800x3d for their states use case.
