ironically the video that is possibly the most requested that I've ever had is
also the one that's taken me the longest to get out so my apologies that
hopefully the results are interesting enough for you to stick around and they kind
of make it worth it. I would mention if you just want to skip to the results or
the video quality analysis I'm gonna leave timestamps over there where you can check out
the methodology of the testing and then the actual in a video quality results so
if you want to jump to that you don't want to hear me you know kind of
blabbing on about how we test this out from what hardware we're using then go
use those. Otherwise we're gonna start off with talking about what hardware we used
and then the testing methodology and then jump into the performance and then
the video quality analysis and then a bit about so a conclusion of what's up
with these CPUs. So otherwise in terms of the hardware up so we're using i9 9900K
and a 2700X but otherwise keeping everything as similar as we can
we're using an RTX 2080TI from ZOTAC to test with as this is in theory the least
bottlenecking card that I can get my hands on and otherwise is generally just
incredibly powerful and we're using 16GB of RAM which is at
3000MHz at CL 15 for the test. In terms of the testing methodology this is
the same as all my other streaming and gaming comparison videos where I'm using
the X264 encoder with a 1080p 60fps and 6000 kilobyte per second stream to
twitch and then a second copy of the X264 encoder to be able to create
an indistinguishable quality setting local recording at the same time
which is very much a torture test and not necessarily fully representative of
if you're just streaming to twitch and you're then gonna maybe download your
twitch stream rather than having a separate local recording already ready
for you to say go and edit for a montage plays to youtube. So if that out of the
way let's jump into the performance results starting off with csgo
technically speaking with 2700 X wins here with 38% performance loss rather
than 43% but the 9900K is overall a much faster chip both in the normal and
the streaming results the minimums also show this and the maximum as well I had
a bit of an erroneous result where the Ryzen chip is actually faster and it's
maxims or higher in it's maximums than the stock runs, it's still a very
impressive result, minimal performance loss in the maximums
for both ships when it comes to PUBG again the 9900k really reigns
supreme here with some impressive results both on averages and especially
on minimums as well where we're seeing next to no performance loss on both
ships are those slightly higher on the 9900K so again they actually very
nice and very playable experience on both and again the maximums technically
speaking the Ryzen does lose the most here although with that said it's not a
very noticeable difference when it comes to Fortnite we're actually looking
at fairly close race although the percentage loss here is actually pretty
significant thirty-nine percent versus twenty four where the 9900K
really kind of comes out on top the minimums here we saw actually an
increase again on the 9900K rather than Ryzen and then the maximums again we're
also pretty close so overall a pretty interesting set of results as you'd
expect with 1080p testing the9900K is the better chip here it generally
just does a better job at 1080p gaming thanks to its IPC improvements over
Ryzen and especially thanks to its clock speeds as well this is of course no mean
feat the Ryzen chip is still an incredibly impressive chip and besides
the CS:GO where it actually lost less FPS in terms of percentage you're generally
still gonna have a in theory better time on the 9900K - with that said it's not
necessarily a fully fair comparison as the 2700X is at least £200
dollars cheaper if not more so it's not necessarily a apples to apples more of
an apples to pears comparison if you like because obviously the 9900K is
anywhere from 50 percent to a hundred percent more expensive and you do not in
fact at any point get more than 50-100 percent more performance for that
jumping into the video quality analysis I'm only gonna use a couple of Clips
here because for all intents and purposes both of these streams and
recordings were almost identical there was no a frame drops there was no loss
in bitrate according to twitch inspector and generally speaking I just didn't see
any quality difference between them they both did a fantastic job of you know
creating especially two copies of the stream at the same time they did a
really good job of that so overall I'm very impressed and really find it hard
to recommend one over the other especially considering
that well obviously the 9900K is a good bit more expensive the 2700X does a
fantastic job too with less money but obviously the 9900K still does
an amazing job at beating basically everything on the market in terms of its
gaming results so it's a bit of a heart that's really my conclusion is just that
if you have more money than sense and you want to spend the most amount of
money possible for the best chip available then the 9900 K is just that
it's the obvious choice you can go pick one up because that's for you if however
you want a better value for money in fact actually the best value for money you can
get right now especially when it comes to you not only streaming and gaming but
also a load of other productivity tasks then the Ryzen 2700X is your clear
choice - it's an incredibly impressive life money and of course well the 9900K
definitely reigns king here I feel like the the Ryzen is kind of the People's Choice Award winner
here rather than the all-out performance king that the 9900K is. With that said
though I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments down below
which one of these would you have in your system which one of these do you
have in your system if you're picking one up I would love to hear your
thoughts down there of course if you have any questions about the testing
games or anything else and leave those in the comments down below if you'd like
to pick up either of these CPUs that I mentioned in this video then take a look
at the links in the description down below I'll tell you to local Amazon
store where we can see pricing when and where you watch this if you want to
check out the other links that are done there then feel free to do so there's
patreon where you can support me directly and a massive thank you to all
the patrons who do you can also check out the Amazon and overclockers UK
affiliate links which don't cost you anything to use but to massively help me
out and genuinely help me keep making these videos every Monday Wednesday and
Friday and live streams on Thursday nights too you can also check out this
is very button if you're new to this channel and there's plenty of other
videos over there including comparisons for the 9600 K and the 2600 X which I
think you might enjoy if you've enjoyed this one I thought it's pretty much it
there's plenty of other links down there if you do want to support the channel as
a load of stuff but either way thanks for watching if you have any questions I
said leave them in comes down below and we'll see you in the next video
