9700K vs 3700X

I ended up building a new machine with 9700K and RTX 2080 (non-super). Finally, my CPU is no longer a bottleneck and fpsVR is showing about 4-5 ms CPU frame times when running AC. Flawless 90 fps racing in VR is nice, so much better than reprojection that my old PC was falling back to when driving in traffic. Didn't try ACC yet, heard it's still pretty awful in VR

What CPU/GPU did you have before?
 
Indeed :whistling::roflmao:

Maximum for ivy bridge was:
Official: 1600 MHz
Maximum spec I could find getting recommended for stable builds: 2666 MHz

His 2000 MHz memory was already pretty overclocked and no cheap stuff!
Actually, I think I got it for about $40 (after I sold a game code that came with it). It was originally a 1866 kit that could to 2GHz on stock timings and a small voltage bump.
DDR3 RAM over 2GHz used to be ridiculously expensive, but yes, faster RAM helps, especially for i5 with a small L3 cache. Lowering RAM speed to 1600 dropped FPS in the AC benchmark by 10%
