Inside this PC we will be using a wide range of GPUs for game testing. We will also be using our Ryzen hardware to compare data with our Intel i7 6850K, to see whether or not Ryzen has any performance advantages or disadvantages over its Intel counterpart. We have now updated our game testing to include Ryzen CPU hardware, which we will test at various core configuration to see how many cores are required/beneficial to play a game. This system is powered by a Corsair HX1200i PSU and cooled using an H110i AIO liquid cooler, with all of these parts coming in Corsair's new 460X enclosure.
Our games testing rig is based on our normal GPU testing setup, using the same ASUS X99 Gaming Strix motherboard with an Intel i7 6850K and 32GB of Corsair memory.
Right now we are also exploring options that will bring AMD's latest RX Vega series GPUs into our GPU test suite. When benchmarking modern games it is very important that we use a variety of hardware configuration, not only to provide a large number of results but also to see how modern games play on both new and old hardware configurations.Īt OC3D we are constantly working to improve our testing methods and we are currently looking to new methods to improve our game performance reviews, with plans in place to conduct more in-depth CPU testing in the near future.
