How much performance do I gain from overclocking a default clock 7700K

[Ellie]

Lets assume I won silicone lottery and it goes up to 5,2, how much more performance will it gain in games which are cpu-reliant ?

Jeff the the boost clock of the 7700k is a single core to 4.5, the rest remain at 4.2, so an overclock to 4.5 is a considerable increase over stock, this is why just overclocking manually so all cores run at the boost clock is very useful, and why the MCE on some boards make things like the 8400 such a good chip.

Because games still prefer single core that game hits a single core way harder hell ill drop all cores to 4ghz undervolt and then test against 5.1 and ill even try 5.2 it will not show 20fps gains at 4k and def not 40fps i can up my ram and try for some lower cas times on top of that as well still wont be a 10fps gain on average fps

My cpu is the same as his and he has avx offset on i dont turn yours on and see how often your clocks drop 5.1 to 5.2 ghz is maybe a 2% gain my ram is 200mhz slower with -3 cas times and the gpu is at 100% so in cpu overclocking it makes no difference as you know 10+ years of testing will show

Did you install PUBG in the RAM instead of HDD SSD?

Not directly I always move the games I want to play to the RAM disc. For PUBG it isnt even hard as the game only takes 14GB space... everybody with 32GB RAM+ can do this.

Way to much effort lol, besides my nvme drives are fast enough.

I know but sometimes i'm simply to hardcore and what better way is there to utilize this 64GB RAM.

But you are still held back by the 1080, his 1080ti is a good 30% more powerful than your 1080 so the game isn't as GPU limited as yours is.

Given your system is much slower, you will not be able to replicate his results, unless you use a 1080ti, you shouldn't really be at 4k anyway.

Edit.
Yeah that's true tacoshy but I have a mere 32GB, also, how long does it take to load the games into ram,never have tried it, but I am guessing the time it takes is way longer than the time you save.

Monk ill explain this slowly his gpu was MAXED OUT at 40-60fps meaning there were no gains to be had from the gpu so that means overclocking his cpu and ram got him the extra fps so by those standards my fps should go from 40fps to 60fps by doing the same of course im not gonna match his fps and see 80 the point is to match the gains had by ram and cpu overclocking


Ive booted at 5.2ghz no offset and 3200mhz ram 16-16-16-36 -2 cass times wont have a 20fps gain but by all means ill give her a go

Never noticed him saying it was maxed out, a stock 7700k can't really send enough info to the 1080ti to max it out even at 4k.

If his gpu wasnt maxed he couldve simply turned off vsync and gone higher than 40-60 so its safe to assume this was maxed if he could get 80-100 overclocked why would he allow it to hit 40 fps if his gpu wasnt limited? People with the best 1080ti's you can buy dont let their gpu hit 40fps for no reason you know computers quite well have you ever seen a cpu and ram overclock add that much fps at 4k and how would a cpu overclock benefit him if he has vsync on and is locked to 60fps max anyway??

17 frames for better gpu, 5 frames for better ram with tight timings, 5 frames for OC maybe thats 27 frames. I would like to see it in a video at full 4k. Shure I get turning off all the eye candy but is that not the point of a 1080ti. Does PUBG do Sli I dont own the game.

[Monk]

No sli sadly. Same as the vast majority of unreal engined games, it's a limitation of the engine.

Just tested mine at 5.2 -1 offset 4.8 cache in keeping with his -4 rule he said he had an offset dont know it is but my dropped to 5.1 a whole lot in gameplay so his is as well my ram was at 3200mhz and 16-16-16-36 timings i got not one fps boost the whole time it was 43-45 fps just like in my other vid no 5 fps gains from cpu no fps gains from ram. Overclocking when you are gpu bound does not increase max average fps

It depends on many variables, but in short, a CPU intensive task would run better in comparison to a lower clock speed.

So many people say game A is cpu intensive, and that game B is GPU intensive, but it isn't that simple. Every game has many different things to process and render, some being cpu intensive, some being gpu intensive, some being balanced or somewhat of a mix either way.

So, even something as simple as changing one setting can change the entire behavior of rendering demands.

The amount of improvement depends on the amount of overclocking, and the specific demands. We cannot tell you how much you can gain, as it is highly situational.

I don't do all ultra maxed out in PUBG, it dips frames below 60 on the graphics side of the things. I got my 1080 Ti at 2000 core / +100 mem OC and it goes down under 60 in cities when it's maxed to ultra.

However, at all high, with things like ambient occlusion and texture rendering set to quality in Nvidia control panel, I can easily maintain 90 FPS and it never goes below 60. Only distance scaling set to ultra to see long distances.

I'm on a 4.9 7820X and PUBG uses all those cores so certainly I'm not held back by my CPU.

Here you go big guy https://youtu.be/R-CyeDIRP1Y 5.2ghz -1offset 3200mhz ram 16-16-16-36 timings same fps as my other vid and as john doe just pointed out hes not getting that fps with his 1080ti rig so there goes the theory that its my gpu and cant be compared

[Monk]

jeff, you are far more gpu limted than those with 1080ti's are, how is it that hard to understand? it is pushing your 1080 to its limits so you wont see the gains those with a more powerful gpu will.

His gpu was limited as well as his peak was 60fps so because my gpu is limited cpu overclocking doesnt make a difference but with his it does lmao do i need to start posting professional benchmarks of cpu gains at 4k for you to understand how it works?

Heres gamersnexus gtx 1080ti stock vs 4.9ghz so i guess if 300mhz can account for another 20+fps gains then ill be damned
