So let's talk realistic settings with a GTX 1080 Ti.

We tested titles 1080p and for the most part we weren't maxing out the visual quality settings, so in our opinion these results really show a realistic worst case - worst case would be a lower resolution with lower quality settings. We're not seeing scenarios where a quad-core with Hyper-Threading can't deliver playable performance, in fact we're not even seeing scenarios where it's on the edge.īenchmarking was mostly conducted with the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which is currently the world's fastest gaming GPU. After wading through that heap of results, what's the verdict? In short, no, for gamers it's not worth upgrading from a fourth-gen Core i7 processor to the latest and greatest six-core, eighth-gen Core i7s.
