Is a $160 CPU Enough for Gaming?

2017-06-14
the risin 5 1400 is a 4 core 8 threaded CPU that comes into roughly 160 dollars almost half the price of the 7700 K which is Intel's 4 core 8 threaded CPU that admittedly overclock siren has better IPC though one must wonder does it make a difference when coupled with mid-range graphics cards well let's find out welcome back to tokyo city and today we have the gtx 1060 from Oris and also the rx 580 from sapphire both overclocked and coupled with the horizon 514 hundred which is overclocked to 4 gigahertz and also coupled with this 7700 K which is overclocked to 5 meters and we're going to compare these two CPUs head-to-head to see how much of a difference the 7700 K premium Nets you in terms of FPS with mid-range graphics cards at 1080p so without wasting any more your time let's roll dem benchmarks boy and like always the benchmark do the talking and what we saw here across seven different games is that the 7700 K although it edged out the r5 1,400 it really didn't edged it out by a whole lot it's not like you'd want to go and spend that extra hundred and sixty dollars if you were getting a mid-range graphics card the rosin file 1400 provided really good performance I was really surprised also in battlegrounds aswell players on Nolan's battleground scoring at over 80 average FPS so the biggest outlier on this graph was GTA 5 with the Nvidia graphics card it was getting almost 50 percent more FPS with the 7700 K so keep in mind with these tests I do like to drop the settings just a little bit I usually put it on a custom blend of high settings and relatively low msaa this allows me to get high FPS and still maintain good visual quality and it's something that I like to do with my benchmarks so when it comes down to it the Rison five fourteen hundred and seventy seven hundred k both did a great job of maxing out these mid-range graphics cards however with the verizon v 1400 it does come in a lot cheaper than the 7700 k so if you are building a computer like a lot of people they like to build computers every few years and just not upgrade at all and just sell that old computer if you're one of these people than the Raven v 1400 coupled with a mid-range graphics card is really good value for money at the moment however with the resin CPUs in itself if you have the extra money I always recommend going for the rising 5 1600 it's only a little bit more money than that 1,400 you get a bigger cooler included and of course you get two more cores and four more threads which makes a big difference especially in this build if you get the CPU you can possibly just upgrade your GPU in the future and still have really good performance the list for the 7700 K you do pay a premium over the rise and CPUs but it is currently the best CPU for gaming X 299 may change that but that's yet to be seen if that's going to be worth the money even over the 7700 K but with the rising CPUs what we saw here today is if you are a gamer and you just want to get really good performance for the dollar and the rising CPUs do offer fantastic value for money and also if you're a competitor gamer then I will be releasing a video comparing the 7700 K to the risin 5 1700 to see how much of a difference that is in competitive multiplayer titles and with that test I will be dropping the graphical settings as opposed to this video it's more about getting a really good experience when you are gaming and if I guys if you enjoy today's video then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below if you were to build a PC today what pots would you use love reading your comments as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
