[Synopsis]
In this video, i benchmark my computer using State of Decay 2. As I benchmark my computer, I am recording at 1080p 60 fps with a Elgato HD60X.
The benchmark results are being displayed with Geforce Experience on the top right corner of the screen.
This game is a very CPU heavy dependent game, and I had performance issues with previous computers I used, like the I5-3570K, and I7-4790K. On the I5-3570k with Geforce GTX 1070 8 GB, the FPS was so bad the game wasn't playable. On my I7-4790K with Geforce RTX 3060 12 GB, the game was playable; however when I tried to record the game play at 60 fps using the Elgato HD60X the game wasn't playable. On my I7-10700KF + Geforce RTX 3060 12 GB, it was playable and I was able to record game play without any problems.
The I7-10700KF is a replacement for my I5-3570K, and this I7-13700KF is a replacement for my I7-4790K. I must have two gaming computers, one in my bedroom, and another one in my office. I had my I5-3570K for about 11 years, and I had the I7-4790K for about 10 years. These days, your CPU is very important when it comes to running intensive applications, because the number of cores does improve performance. The I7-10700KF has 8 cores and 16 cores with hyper threading, while the I7-13700KF has 16 cores and 24 cores with hyper threading. For modern games having a powerful GPU isn't enough, you must also have a very powerful CPU.
On my Dell Precision T5500, I have two CPUs(Xeon X5670 3.07 GHz) processors on it. That computer can run any intensive application without any problems. This is despite it being a 15 year old computer. That computer has 12 base cores and 24 cores with hyper threading. It has two physical processors, and it uses a massive amount of energy. Never the less, it is a very power machine, I use it as a workstation, server, and even gaming at times. This computer has outperforms that machine, and it is much lighter as well. Plus, it has modern features, like USB 3.1/3.2, M.2 NVMe slots, and processor that uses much less power.
Part of the benchmark including game capture, which you can see in this video. Using a DVR does use system resources, and being able to do this really tests the mettle of this computer.
The CPU temps hovered around 130 °F to 140 ° F (54 ° C to 60 °C). The GPU temps stayed around 170 ° F (77 °C).
