Triple Screens: 8 CPU's Tested with iRacing

Would love to see the difference now between 9800x3D and the 9900X in a non-GPU limited scenario. Does pure single core performance outweigh the L3 cache advantage (in iRacing)?

We need to see the 9800x3d and 9950x3d when it releases!

Great vid!

Thank you

I'm considering upgrading my 5600X to a 9800X3D and keeping my EVGA 3080 FTW for now. Running triples 27s at 1440p.

I'm wondering how much of a framerate improvement I might see in iRacing. Thanks.

This is gold! Looks like my i5-12600k will do just fine for triple 4K XD

Is AMD R7 7600X a typo? All I can find is R5 7600X on Google

You just dissuade me from buying a 9800x3d and going for a 7600x

The second resolution (4K UHD) is not correct, its UWQHD. Its not 4K but 1440p

I love my 5700x with 6750xt I run triple 1080p
And I get great fps with an average of 100-120
And the lows are maby 50 or something
(On acc and f1 24 mostly online)

I realized that my iracing benchmarks were so low compared to yours cause my 13900k had degraded unfortunately.

very nicely done. thank you

"you have convinced the wife you can have the cupboard under the stairs" if your at that point you need a serious look in the mirror and revaluate your life and relationship!

Yup my 8700k is what’s holding me back it seems.

Should I attempt 3x 3440x1440 as I already have a single 3440x1440 already
9700k & rtx2080oc 32gb 3600 ram capable?

Regarding the mentioned Ryzen 7 7600x: I just find an Ryzen 5 7600X online, is there an issue in your text? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

This is a definitive video if you want to understand how the differences in the processors and explaining how the different bottlenecks happen

Great charts. Very useful. I have a 5800X/3090, and I do VR. I'm trying to guess what it would take to run 120hz in a newer VR headset. I see that I shouldn't be too far off as is with my current set up, so long as I am ok with the occasional hiccup.

Very interesting. 1% lows are interesting. Very little difference unless you are on different architecture. A 12600k or even a 12400k would offer fantastic value with very little difference in 1% lows.

I have now 11700 with 2x16gb@4000Mhz + 3080ti. Should i buy 7500f/7700/7800x3d(130$, 200$, 370$) for 3440x1440@144hz?

epic

This is so helpful. I have a 4070 super and an i4700k and my frames are struggling. This confirms I really need a new CPU like, yesterday, for my triple 1440 setup

Thanks for informing me that I can use 1440p triples instead of 1080p with my 5600x. Also, thank you for letting me know that the upgrade to the 5800x3d doesn't provide as much as I figured it would! Definitely considering an upgrade to one of the newer AM5 processors being released soon.

Hi, can i get high fps with i5 11400f and 4060 ti on triple 1080p

i wonder if there is a mad man out there running 4k triples on an AMD R7 2700

Shame this is not done including Rain at night..... That would really show what actually is worth getting...

Awesome videos mate. It would be great if you made a video showing us how to benchmark our own PC's with iracing

Hi ! I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and 4060 Ti. I decided to go on triple screen. Need 1080p or 1440p for iRacing ? Thx

How similar would a 4070Ti (12gb) setup be? Considering it has a 192 memory bus but is technically faster than the 3080 Ti's 384 memory bus.

Thanks for this analysis, this was great.
I was running ACC stable 180fps on high/ ultra settings with triple 1080p, 32G 6000CL30 ram, rx6950xt & R7 7600.
However, racing on the Nord 24 track I've been getting anywhere from 50 to 100 fps on high settings depending on how many cars are around, time of day and part of the track.
Is it time for R7 7800x3d?

Fantastic info and clear explanations...superb

great video, but all this tells us is that iracing is not optimised for high cpu cores. we as a community should stop buying CPUs and GPUs to chase badly written games, but instead put pressure on the game developers to optimise their stuff. ACC is pretty much the same as iRacing

Amazing video! thanks dude

Fantastic video man. Well presented, well tested, well everything.

it would be interesting to see how many cores are used by Iracing and what percentage they are used for each processor.

This was super super useful. Thanks a lot for doing this. This is exactly was i was hoping to find when searching for what fps gains i could expect by updrading my cpu for iRacing. Awesome stuff.

Saving for my next build. Outstanding work my guy. Thank you!

This is awesome. I have been waiting years to see this exact same kind of testing. I'm running a 9900k with a 4090 on trip 1440p with a 4th 1440p on top atm and it still seems to be doing well enough with all my extra stuff too. I almost upgraded to the 13700k but built my wife a new pc instead. Hope to build my sim rig replacement later this year with the latest new Intel. It's not the 15th gen but whatever they're going to call it.

So in summary if i have a ryzen 3600 and a 3080, i probably shouldnt buy a new cpu since ill be gpu bound if i upgrade to triple 1440p monitors.

I wish iRacing utilized DLSS. It would be nice to get 4K triples and run DLSS balanced.

Nice and informative Video. Thanks 👌

Will I have problems running triple 1080p monitors if I have a Ryzen 7 3700x with a RTX 2070 Super? Only 2 display ports as well, so I would have to be using DP and HDMI I’m assuming.

Much appreciated testing in a fairly niche field. Thanks mate, and subbed!

What gpu do you recommend for a i7-9700k at default 3.6ghz...and would overclocking to 5ghz make a difference for a gpu? For running triple 1440p 120 fps
Thanks

Great Vid!!!! This has really helped. Have a 8700k oc'd with 2080ti. Maybe I was too optimistic thinking about going triple 1440p with good fps.

Question, does IRacing favor Radeon or nvidia cards? Lets say new build, 1440 Tripples, 7900xtx vs 4080 super with one of these top 2 CPU’s you tested . My current rig is old now, 8700k and 1080ti hybrid running single…yes I want to build a new one and run 4 monitors. Thanks

There is something weird between triple HD and 4K: If you take "1K" as an HD monitor (a 4K monitor is actually four HD monitors), then 3K (three HD monitors) is less than one "4K" monitor. However, you have better FPS in Intel 9700K and AMD 2700 in 4K, than "3K", even though you are moving more pixels (7.4M vs. 6.2M). Even more strange, GPU Busy Ratio is as expected: More busy in 4K than "3K"... Maybe something related to the sync of the three of them because you're not using Nvidia Surround?

This has been helpful, I'm struggling to stream with a r9 5950x, simhub and race labs running, might need to "downgrade" 5800x3d 🤔

Thanks for covering all the relevant resolutions. When I watch reviews of CPUs from big channels they just show 1080p low and I'm like "how is this relevant in 2024?". This helps much more, we need real world scenarios.
