Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Kryosheets https://geni.us/53ArNb and Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut Paste (Amazon - https://geni.us/Fsray )
NEW BENCHMARKS! Find more tests with fps_max modified here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiqojNU-RBg
NOTE: Were running additional tests with a few console commands for further uncapping performance, but also will be trying some affinity options. Those will be published in a follow-up. This testing is accurate and representative to the performance when sticking to the in-game menu, but our viewers pointed-out a console command that will further boost performance of the very top-end CPUs on our charts (no impact to mid-range and below). We asked our community to vote on what to do. Learn more here! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChIs72whgZI9w6d6FhwGGHA/community?lb=UgkxKOSDFhPIxr22RFeN6tnXToCKTqRTJCu7
This benchmark looks at Counter-Strike 2 CPU performance. Our #counterstrike CPU benchmarks faced struggles with constant game updates (although thats a good thing for the game itself), but one thing that remained consistent was high performance among AMDs Ryzen X3D CPUs, including the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPUs. We also found that, although Intel overall scaled OK, the 13900K specifically had too much of a good thing with its E-cores. Disabling the E-cores dramatically improved frametime consistency, something that reflected in 1% and 0.1% lows.
