So I've just had some fun playing around with a new 3070, to see what its capable of.
This is (especially) for those who are curious what a move from a 1080 Ti to a 3070 would mean (with some obvious caveats).
Note 1: I didn't cover as many games as I would have liked to, way too lazy to download/install them.
Note 2: All games were tested at max quality, except for: RDR2 (optimized settings), Cyberpunk (custom settings - cant really see a difference between mine and high, without RT), Warzone (competitive settings).
Note 3:ignore Dota and PUBG (because its shit games, but also, only realised later I forgot the ingame FPS limiter on - that and I use very specific/ competitive settings for these scrub games) I've bothered updating the results, dota 2 is 1% difference, PUBG dropped by half to 14%
Note 4: All tests were performed at 1440p on a 144hz screen
Note 5: System specs are: i5 8400, 3200mhz 2*8GB, Z390i Aorus
Note 6: The only game that used 100% cpu (for a couple of seconds) was ROTR (rise of the tomb raider); Cyberpunk is 2nd with about 50-80% usage;
Note 7: Far right 'column' shows the final result (rounded up)
Note 8: I forgot to mention the 1080 Ti is watercooled with an H110 and 2*140 Noctua fans
Obviously lots of variables to consider, and no doubt many plebs will say UpGrAde YoUr CpU. But honestly, this was just done in the name of (bad) science.
Burn my eyes please
Edit: Simplified the benchmarks
