CRUSHING CPU Test! 5960X vs. 6950X - Also, bad things happen

2016-11-21
what's up guys welcome back to the channel today we're gonna be doing some cpu stuffs in particular with good old hot line to the left of me here basically we're gonna be scoping in on the hot lines CPU which is the original chip that I installed when I first built the system the 69 no the 59 60 X 16 50 X wasn't even out yet 59 60 X core i7 haswell-e flagship all that stuff eight core twenty or eight core 16 thread maths from Intel cool right yeah who cares Kyle the chips been out for like ages bro it's all about the 69 50 X now I know I know that's why you didn't let me finish that's why after I'm done testing the 59 60 X I'm gonna swap it out for the 10 core 20 thread core i7 69 50 X yeah Broadwell II bitches it's gonna be sweet and of course we already know it's overpriced 1700 I can't really say that because it's just such a high high number and ever you review that I've seen or read pretty much does the same thing that's overpriced as bird but it doesn't make me any less curious to see or find out how much faster or how much more able are capable it is to handle a CPU intensive workload so I'm gonna be throwing a hell of a workload CPU wise at both of these setups with either chip it's actually gonna be one test I'm not doing a full suite of benchmarks guys I'm just doing one test on each chip however that test is gonna be a monstrosity of things it's actually a series of smaller tests underneath so why don't we go ahead and take a look at that I'm gonna go ahead and switch gears to the predator X 34 because I have all the testing stuff already low there goes my love transmitter it's okay I've already got everything transmitted whoa whoa I'm crying I just crossed over into that dimension get out of my head let's just take a look at the screen alright so what exactly are we gonna be running for this test well we're gonna be running a number of things first of which is a game so I've got GTA 5 loaded up here which is a very highly CPU intensive game does not mess around on the cores at all so that's gonna be running at 1920 by 1080 fully maxed out settings 4x msaa and all that and that's actually we've got fraps in the quote in the corner there I'm going to be doing some fraps Inc to check the frame rates both average minimum and then we're gonna go ahead and stream that as well with xsplit broadcaster that's gonna be streamed out at 1920 by 1080 60 fps no-holds-barred it's gonna be crazy we're gonna see how many dropped frames we get on either setup using either of those CPUs hopefully zero for both but we'll see and then finally just to spice things up I've got Adobe Media encoder here we've got a 90-second HD that's full HD 1920 by 1080 60 FPS or 30fps I should say clip here that we're gonna be encoding while we're streaming while we're gaming so these three things and of course you know Google Chrome open all the while those three applications for the most part are gonna be running Adobe Premiere Pro in particular or a EE media encoder when you're encoding stuff especially with a program like this it's gonna be utilizing all Z course all Z course there's gonna be pretty intensive just fun fact here I actually tried to crank the system even harder and I tried running handbrake at the same time as all this and it be started after about five minutes wasn't able to do shit I tried it multiple times just kept be sodding so I've removed since then removed handbrake from this test but seems like this is where we've hit the ceiling and I'm just I'm just curious I'm just curious to see what kind of frame rates we can get if we can get zero drop frames and how quickly we can encode this 90-second HD video all at the same time with either CPU so first off we've got the LG's 59 60 X and here again overclocked to 4500 megahertz and just for shits and giggles eh 980 T is in SLI right there of course in hot line custom water-cooled that is an X 99 sabertooth from good ol ACS we've got 16 gigs of ram ddr4 and the probe much thumbs lit up so why don't we go ahead and run this test I'll circle back and catch you guys after it's done yo dog I would you like numbers so I'll put some numbers with your numbers yeah so thank you exhibit these are our results our numbers for today for this first test in with the 59 60 X overclocked and as you can see it rendered our video in Adobe Premiere Pro or media encoder I should say in 2 minutes and 25 seconds I'm sure we would have shaved that down quite a bit had we not been streaming and gaming at the same time so hopefully we can share that down with the 69 50x for gaming now GTA 5 are again hot line all right - GTX 980 is an SLI SLI was enabled for this test and right now we have the system just kind of not idling but we're not streaming we're not encoding anything we just have GTA 5 loaded up here now look at the frame rate ciao we're getting a steady 75 we look around like oh look dead getting in the Hondo's over there for a sec whoa hey there so excuse me pretty good numbers it is it's no it's no slouch in the gaming Department however start up a stream @ 1080p fps and start encoding a video at 1080 30fps then look at how far the frame rates dropped in our gameplay average of 22 fps and a minimum of 6 it's not even playable that's gonna be the worst stream ever so hopefully what I'm hoping is that I'm curious to see if we swap in this 69 50x if those numbers actually go up not because the 69 50x is a better gaming chip or a faster gaming chip by any means than this then the 59 60 X cuz it's not but because it's got more cores and more threads to work with maybe it'll just be more efficient and have more bandwidth so to speak for things like premiere and streaming and that could potentially free up some more CPU bandwidth for GTA 5 which is a highly processor intensive game so very curious to see how that works out but for now we've got 0 dropped frames so on xsplit which is fantastic which means anyone who is watching our live stream on Twitch on the other end is seeing things pretty clearly no dropped frames no choppiness other than the framerate of course of the game itself so there's not really any room for improvement there that we can go to that's a perfect score on the streaming for so with that and with that in mind let's go ahead and attempt to drain this system that I've been known to damage things that way before and swap in this ten core twenty thread ship right here to see exactly what we get it should be fun I knew something bad was gonna happen during this video especially during the the CPU swap here so basically I drained the system just fine I swapped in the CPU 6950 X is currently installed just fine and as I'm filling the loop back up this son of a beyotch decides to leak on me you you stop being and blurry either there that this guy you can see there's even a drop that's ready to ready to drop right there drop the bridge okay anyway but see I why why was this not leaking before I made sure that it was tight it's actually not leaking from there it's not it's not leaking from you know where the the crevice between the fitting and the reservoir is actually leaking between this crevice right here where my nail is so it's just a bad fitting I guess just decided to go wrong right now so I don't actually have any elbows in that color that's a black double 45 which I do not have fortunately i scrounged around for stuff and I have this one this is a chrome one that'll do just fine it won't match for shit it'll look horrible in hot line but at least it's gonna work at least we'll be functional it's just temporary otherwise if I didn't have that that I would be completely out of board I would not be able to do the rest of this video it would have to wait for a later time and I wouldn't be able to do any work on hot line that I currently have stored on its I guess it's gonna work out in the end but it's just a Oh God custom water cooling guys and I know all you guys are already raging in the comments see this is why I never cast my article well you know what right now I'm totally on board with you screw it screw screw J screw Terry Crews no I'm totally joking but I gotta admit this is a little or some so I'm gonna go ahead and take care of that right now and hopefully we'll get back on track with the real point of this video thanks for ruining my video leaking in the middle of it this set me back like an hour and a half to two hours of production time but the new fittings in there it's nickel-plated looks like total crap in here but hey it stopped the leaking and you know what it's a good temporary replacement until the black fitting comes in the mail and stuff but moving on to the actual topic of this video I have installed the 69 50 X it's inside of the system safe and sound it's overclocked to 4300 megahertz I tried to do 44 it was looking good until I started up the stream and the encoding and the game and then it crashed every single time so I dialed it down to 43 hundred seems rock-solid stable I ran the test a couple times and it just seems perfectly fine so that's what we're clocking it at 4300 compared to the 4500 on the 59 60 X and these are our numbers yes I already ran the tests I am just one step ahead of you guys so here we go starting with premiere you can see I've masked off the the good stuff the FPS because I wanted to be a surprise but we've got premier here 20 to 25 2 minutes and 25 with the 59 60 X switching to the 10 core we shaved that encoding time down to two minutes and four seconds so that actually took us 13 percent longer or so with the 8 core than it did the 10 course so it's actually not too bad it's not a giant savings but you know if you're gonna be rendering like 4k stuff that's like 10 plus minutes long that's gonna add up over time and that's gonna save you hours upon hours in the long run moving on to GTA 5 let's see what we have here by the way the parenthesis is the 69 50 X if you didn't figure that out already so average on the 8 core was 22 went up to 38 frames per second on average with v-69 50x a 72% bump in performance that's actually incredible and in this look at this is 6 to 15 for the for the minimum 150 percent game I thought was my assumption was that hopefully we were gonna see some higher frame rates just simply because we had more cores and threads not so much that would help our game but would help the encoding and the streaming workload and again that would allow for some additional bandwidth for our cpu-intensive game which it certainly did that's actually pretty impressive and some to consider if you do have a crazy-ass budget for a CPU and you're a twitch streamer for example and I don't know you have an intense workload similar to the one we've run today then maybe this is a chip that you should consider because that I mean granted 38 frames per second was not the best it wasn't ideal when I was playing it and when I was a frappe sing it and stuff it wasn't the best but it was certainly a hell of a lot more playable than the 22 frames per second with the 59 60 X so that's there something to be said there especially you know if you were to crank down some settings maybe you're streaming maybe you should turn the stream down to 720 64 2nd not 1080 maybe that would gain you some additional frames there who knows maybe we'll do a part 2 follow up let me know in the comments if you have any ideas for that so I don't know altogether it's an expensive ass CPU that's that's already known but it does pack quite a punch over the 59 60 X just by having those four additional logical cores there and I think I don't know there's not much else I want to say I just wanted to give you guys the facts let you think for yourselves about it reflect meditate and all that good stuff but I think I'm out of here because I've got a bunch of other stuff to do today and sorry guys if this video seemed a bit haphazardly thrown together it was I'm actually going to Lake Havasu next week for like four or five days with my in-laws I don't know why but because of that I'm actually really rushed this week to get all the content done for next week so sorry if it seems a little bit rushed but thank you for watching and also shoutout to Intel for sponsoring or not sponsoring for providing the 6950 x cuz I wouldn't never bought it myself I'm too poor but yeah thank you for making this video possible Intel they did not sponsor this video it's not a sponsored video it's not paid to say any good stuff about Intel they just allotted me the chip for review and testing so thank you to you guys so I guess team blue and I do people call Intel team blue I named these team red really gets green it makes sense right but that's gonna do it for now guys so be sure to toss me a like on this video if you enjoyed it and also check the description down there check my store I'm selling new bit wit shirts with the new logo looks pretty sexy if I do say so myself so go ahead and check those out subscribe to the channel if you haven't already I'm out of here go ahead and have yourselves a good day and good night and I'll see y'all in the next video peace
