Just a heads up that it looks like the captured footage of the high end PC didn't actually capture in 4K. This does not impact the performance results (I use a second PC to record in order to get accurate results unaffected by recording overhead), but if you are watching on a high resolution display and notice it doesn't looks super high resolution, just know that it isn't the game. It is my recording.

Im getting CPU bottlenecked at 4k in some NPC populated areas with my 7950X3D/4090 build. (DLSS Quality) Getting 80-90 FPS in those areas so I just turn on Frame Gen with VSync capped at 120 FPS to fill in the blanks. Do you get bottlenecks in some areas with your 7800X3D at 4k, Daniel?

But this is slightly deceptive. Yes it's a good technical product and works well, smooth, no hiccups and has great hair technology and all that. HOWEVER, why in all that is holy are we leaving this much performance on the table when there was room for doing a higher RT setting? Like there's room for path tracing here. It's just disappointing to see games run 110 fps on 4k DLSS Quality on a 4090 at their MAX settings. There's room there to drop frames for days, to drop DLSS to performance, there's so much room there to fit path tracing.

Thanks for another deep dive on game performance! I don't always agree with your takes, but your fairness and commitment is why I keep coming back, anyway. I have a question, if you wouldn't mind answer: I'm probably going to end up building a new PC after the next gen GPUs drop in early 2025. You made a video before about how 1440p with upscaling looks better than native 1080p. Based on how things stand right now (so currently available upscaling technology, RTX 4000/RDNA 3 GPUs), is there a pre-upscaling FPS target so that, after quality upscaling, I'd be consistently hitting 120 FPS in most games? Say a CPU+GPU combo can consistently hit 90 FPS native 1440p on techpowerup's 30ish game average, would you say that hardware could get close to or beat 120 FPS with quality upscaling turned on? Sorry if that's a particularly difficult question, I'm willing to accept "it depends" as an answer.

[@danielowentech]

How games respond to upscaling depends on the game and graphics settings being used. However, I've found that in many games (like this video for example) 1080p native performs similarly to 1440p DLSS quality. So I'd say look for a GPU with the fps you want at 1080p, and that's likely what you will get at 1440p DLSS quality. But again, not in every game.

I have a 4090 and 7 7800X3D when you said use DLSS Quality. No chance, absolutely no chance. I bought this hardware to play native ray traced maxed out settings. And with all that I’m getting over 60FPS. Perfect, looks stunning with stunning performance. I don’t need DLSS (and I don’t have frame gen either as frame gen has to cut corners, corners which again affect image quality). it never looks as good as native. I just doesn’t as it lower the resolution internally on the go, it never looks anywhere near as good.

It’s not even groundbreaking either when it comes to its graphics, groundbreaking level would be something like Hellblade II and that game still runs better than this one.

To anyone trippen off cpu performance. Let me be an example of having a 10900k with a 4070ti super and not being bottle necked. Just cause new cpu's and gpus come put doesnt mean you need to upgrade both! I play at 2k with ultra settings and ray tracing. Yea i use dlss but its usually just quality. If frame gen is available i stay native. Dont worry about all this bull shit!

good games run like shit while bad games run exceptionally good

[@jasonh4534]

This is what gaming used to be like... If your CPU was a few years old, if it was at least mid'ish range, your GPU was what determined your FPS capabilities. Now, so many games are poorly optimized for CPU, that a new midrange CPU can limit even medium-low range GPUs. I found it interesting on the Star Wars Survivor analysis, that your higher end CPU was giving the same FPS as my 12700K when the bottle neck was the CPU. So it felt more fundamental of an issue than just inefficient code. Because a better CPU should be capable of brute forcing better performance, but the FPS seems to plateau in the town. Once you hit a certain amount of compute ability (per core and sufficient number of cores) adding more CPU grunt does nothing. I am glad that the time was taken on this new game, hopefully it is a good one as well, because I am wanting to give it a go.

[@albert2006xp]

The reason CPU performance targets are so low is because of consoles running 30 fps in many games and having 3700X CPUs. That's quite strong a CPU to be only doing 30 fps. Even if the game has a 60 fps mode, that's still going to be bad for people with Zen 2/3 CPUs. Consoles have too strong a CPU this generation for what they do.

[@markojovanovic9651]

@@albert2006xp 3700x is not a strong cpu, it has low clocked zen 2 cores, zen 2 is a 5 year old architecture and while being good for its time, gets ran over by anything newer. Even if it did an all core 5ghz boost it wouldn't hold up, and it goes "up to" 3.5ghz, so it definitely doesn't do an all core 3.5ghz

[@albert2006xp]

@@markojovanovic9651 A 7800x3d is only twice as powerful as it. Which means that if that cpu does 30, the 7800x3d does 60. Lots of us also still have Zen2/3 which are pretty close. Other than X3D chips you're not getting majorly over a 3700x on AM4, even a slightly undertuned one. CPUs simply don't advance as fast as GPUs so that's what the end result is.

[@Kumoiwa]

​@@albert2006xpFor real! Consoles should aim at Quality 60fps mode or Performance 100+fps mode... But console NPCs will tell you they can't tell the difference 😭

[@albert2006xp]

​@@Kumoiwa That's not really what I said. Just all games having a 60 fps mode would be enough. Consoles don't have the spare power to waste on 100+ fps. Considering my PC is actually slightly under a PS5 there are times when I have to do 30 fps to keep all the good settings on so I get it. That's not why consoles are bad. They are bad because they're locked machines made only for gaming and don't have a mouse and keyboard.
