Ryzen 7 2700X vs. R7 3700X vs. Core i5-10600K, Competitive Gaming

Keeping my 2700 that I got for 155 USD for a while, until I can get a deal on a Zen 3 CPU. It still can game quite well, 150-200 FPS on Apex is not half bad.

bro where is valorant

2021 version of this would be nice.

for the same price should i go 2700X or 10600K? thanks!

I just bought a r7 2700 few months ago , oc to 4.2ghz . 60% cheaper than a 8700k and 3700x，can’t refuse for that price !

More, more cores amd... are still trashed by less cores in gaming lol
How the hell this is possible?! :D

Just ordered a 2700X. 3700X and even 3600 are just way too crazy expensive now. Thanks for including the 2060S results as well. Really goes to show that the 2700X won't break a sweat with my R9 380. 😂

Apex legends???

Going from a 2600 to a 3700 and I'm happy with my purchase.

1k comment!

Wat do you recoment please help a 3700x an a gtx1070 or a 2700x and a 1080ti ?

how the fuck does i5 beat 3700X

Is this with the same memory speeds/timings? I've got a 3700X for an RMA'd 2700X and hesitating to send back the 3700X and keep the new(old) 2700X. Mainly gaming Apex with a Vega 64

@HardwareUnboxed I wonder since the AMD's update, if these benchmarks still holds true?

got the Ryzen 7 2700x for $129 @ microecnter last thanksgiving, best purchase ever.

I pay $129 for my 2700x last black Friday at microcenter. Crazy Deal man

3700X is better for me as it as better memory compatibly. 2700X was a headache looking for a 4 stick RAM kit.

Intel is still better.

2700x is 150 usd new in South east asia online market, I guess i'll get that and extra money for GPU

Could you do 3300X, 3600, i5 9400F etc. too? with these games

Why no 4k

Intel always best amd in gaming , I don't care for other stuff really

do keep in mind ryzen 7 3700x is 65watts vs intel 10600k' 125 watts

Nice. Gonna keep waiting for those Zen3 CPU in a few months. Speculation is they're gonnabe available in Sept or Oct, defo by Nov.
Will be good to future proof for now, since I'm still on 4670K from 2013 and feeling the restrictions it's putting on my 980Ti I got second hand from a friend.
Plans are for a X570 or B550 with a performance tier Zen3 and upgrade the GPU only after I can see solid reviews from you and GN for the midrange pieces from red and green.
The 2022 tech advancements (DDR5, affordable Gen.4 PCIe parts, etc...) may not be stable until sometime 2023, and I ain't gonna wait on a 4670k or 980ti for that long.

I love my 2700x. Currently running at 4.25Ghz OC, with 32Gbs of 3200Mhz RAM, paired with an Overclocked 2080 Super. Performance from the 2700x at 4.25Ghz is within 2% of the 3700x. So I should be good for at least 4 years.

fp, low quality- not real gaming

Been watching your videos for weeks trying to get myself to upgrade but I just can't do it. Maybe in 2021 if the new console generation will make huge leaps in how the games look and feel. I got a i7-2600k water cooled on a p8z68 v3 mb with a 1070gtx and 16gb ram and there are no games that I can not run at least on high while gaming at 1080p resolution. I remember I bought the mb+cpu second hand in 2011 for 250 Euro and years passed and I always wanted the next new shinny thing but until now all the games that came out never needed more for 1080p. That being said: great channel!

I'm getting 500fps with a 1660ti with the 3700x

420 FPS, what a monitor you have!

Sure, intel might get ahead a bit in raw performance... but at what cost?
The wattage of the i5 is almost double that of the 3700 (non-OC), whilst being similar in price here in the EU.
With energy being quite expensive here (€0.25 per kWh) the Ryzen 7 3700x (or a ryzen 5 for that matter) is a no-brainer.

i get 250-300 fps with 3700x and rx 580 4GB in 2k Cs-Go

intel cpus for gaming

The only problem is Intel still OC's like a beast. To get that good silicon instead of leftover bullshit you have to go all the way up to the 3950x.

I need to do a 100% gaming build I put on pause this spring due to Covaids but the beauty of it is with competition making Intel wake up there's very little actual bad parts today. The longer this goes on the better we all win.

My God, this is by far the review/analysis a lot of people need. Competitive gaming is a thing right now, even if its only amateur playing players are serious about getting the best FPS they can. And sadly most gamers still think they need intel no matter what. Thanks to reviews like this you can see that in some cases (CS:GO/R6S) AMD as the wining hand and on most cases the results are soo close that, as Steve said, it really does'nt matter anymore (atleast tno for the near future)!!!
Im a happy owner of a Ryzen 5 3600, got it a few weeks after it was available where I live, yeah stock cooler wasn't great but it was good enough till I got an aftermarket cheap replacement. And I can say that it drives my RTX 2070 at 1440p with max setting without a single issue. The main reason I got this is that intel didn't have anything better than my old Core i5 3570 that was at the price range of the Ryzen 5 3600. I would have probably picked intel if they had something reasonable priced. Cheers, and great review !!!!!

2700X is still a better buy even now, because it's less than half the price of the 3700X in the uk, if your playing 1080p/60hz your good

I exchanged my 2600 for a 3700x + 100€ And Im very happy that cpu is a beast

But does any of this MATTER? No one buys a 2080TI or even 2060 to game at "low."

The i5 stomping ryzen 8cores, wow...And i bet it can do the same with the 3950x aswell...Kudos to Intel, and the upcoming Intel cpu's will be much faster which makes it even more exciting ;)

If you don't see the gaming performance, but the productivity. 2700x at current pricing make alot of sense.

I don't think it would matter much, if at all, for strictly gaming builds, however I'm still confused why all the tech media is continuing to compare the 10600k against 3600/x-3700x CPUs. Dollar for dollar, all in on the platform, the 3900x is the closest competitor today.
10600k: $300, z490 Motherboard: $200, Cheap cooler: $50, for a total of $550
3900x: $400, mid-tier B450: $120, Cheap cooler: in the box, for a total of $520
I expect the 3900x will game at least as well as a 3700x, and it will get real work loads done twice as fast as a 10600k.

Dont tell me to upgrade my barely used 2700

wierd i get around 350fps average in cs go on high. 2700x and rx5700xt (asus strix)

still noob AMD waiting to beat Intel fanboy in game performance. Those fanboy won't stop saying AMD noob if they don't see every single game run faster in AMD. Please, I hope XT series will help.

Nive work!

dont by a pc every game you play people cheating its pointless

i like this video immediately after my eyes soothed by 60fps.

Steve you're missing an "s" in the thumbnail, after the <AMD'>.

An Overwatch benchmark would be awesome

It's fascinating to see such a big difference between AMD generations, especially when the next gen could be producing just as big a performance gap over the current gen.
