Games like The Division, Rainbow Six Siege and Battlefield 1 leveraged the additional cores of the Ryzen R7 1700 showing the potential of having an 8-core CPU for games that are optimized to take advantage of them. We can see here that while Intel did take the majority of the titles tested, most of them were only by a few FPS. I’ll be honest that I was rather surprised with just how well the Ryzen CPU was able to keep up with the 5GHz 7700K.
Starting off we get a look at the averages at 1080p and then we will move into the minimums as well as 1440p testing. Now that we’ve gone through all of that, here’s the chart that many of you have been waiting for: Average FPS: AMD Ryzen R7 1700ĪMD Ryvs i7-7700k 1080p Gaming Benchmarks Here’s a $1,000 AMD RyEditing build as well as our B350 motherboard rundown for those looking for more information.
For AMD we had the AM4 X370 Gaming 5 and for Intel, we used the Z270 K7 board that I recently used in my Frame Raider Quiet PC build.įor the graphics card, we’re using the GTX 1080 overclocked 200Mhz on the core and 300MHz on the memory and all of our games were tested with the Ultra preset at 1080p & 1440p. As previously mentioned, the R7 1700 is running at 3.9GHz and 1.3v while the i7-7700K is at 5GHz with 1.365v.īoth systems utilized 16GB of DDR4 memory clocked at 3000Mhz, however one was Corsair Vengeance and the other was a G.Skill TridentZ kit. (From what I’m hearing from other reviewers it’s no fluke.) Test Systemsįor our testing, I had both the Intel i7 7700K and the R7 1700 overclocked to the highest stable point I could get. However, if others are able to achieve results as I did above, there’s a good chance the AMD R7 1700 will be a popular choice.
That’s just the way the silicon lottery goes. There’s a good chance that I may have just been extremely lucky with my 3.9GHz overclock. Obviously, I only have one 1700 CPU to test this with, so I won’t know until launch day what others are seeing for their overclocks. What you’re essentially paying for is a higher guaranteed speed out of the box. I think what this shows is that clock for clock the Ryzen 7 CPUs are the same. Here’s how the R7 1700 stacks up against the R7 1800X in average FPS across 10 modern titles. R7 1700 Overclocked vs R7 1800X Average FPSīefore we get into our i7-7700k vs R7 1700 comparison, there’s one chart I simply had to share. That’s roughly 20 degrees cooler than my 1800X that I tested recently at the same exact clock speed. The 1800X however required 1.35v in order to maintain the 3.9GHz clock speed and when testing the 17X at the same speed they returned nearly identical performance. After running Aida64 for just over an hour the max temp that I saw was 57C. That’s with an overclock of 3.9GHZ at 1.3v.
This means we should expect it to run a fair bit cooler than the 95W TDP SKUs from AMD.įrom my tests, this is definitely true as the R7 1700 idles at just under 30C on a Noctua air cooler with two fans in a push-pull configuration. The only difference, other than the price, is the out of the box clock speed of 3GHz and a lower TDP of 65W. The AMD R7 1700 is the lowest price SKU in the Ryzen 7 stack, behind the 1700X and 1800X, but sports the same 8 Cores & 16 threads as its bigger brothers. AMD has placed the 1700 processor at a very competitive price point at $329, directly competing with the $340 i7 7700K. Today we’re testing the newly released R圜PU up against its closest competitor from Intel, the i7 7700K. See all the benchmarks you’re looking for, below The R7 1700 performs very well against not only the i7-7700k but also AMD’s flagship 1800x.
