gavbon86: I now have nightmares #techrepair #oof.RyanSmithAT: RT My team and I have spent a huge amount of time over the past year+ getting XeSS into games, so I'm stoked that we're final….When you move into three GPUs or more territory, it seems that having the single thread CPU speed of an Intel processor gets a few more FPS at the end of the day. Same thing with two GTX 580s – even an X2-555 BE is within 1 FPS (3%) of an i7-3960X.ĭue to the successful scaling and GPU limited nature of Sleeping Dogs, almost any CPU you throw at it will get the same result. There is almost nothing to separate every CPU when using a single GTX 580.

This speaks of a well written game more than anything.

It is worth noting the scaling in Sleeping Dogs. Neither PCIe lane allocation or memory seems to be playing a part, just a case of threads then single thread performance.ĭespite our Beast machine having double the threads, an i7-3960X in PCIe 3.0 mode takes top spot. The X2-555 BE unfortunately drops off, suggesting that Sleeping Dogs is a fan of the cores and this little CPU is a lacking.Īt three GPUs the gap is there, with the best Intel processors over 10% ahead of the best AMD. Intel visually takes all the top spots, but AMD is all in the mix with less than 0.5 FPS splitting an X2-555 BE and an i7-3770K.Ī split starts to develop between Intel and AMD again, although you would be hard pressed to choose between the CPUs as everything above an i3-3225 scores 50-56 FPS. Sleeping Dogs seems to tax the CPU so little that the only CPU that falls behind by the smallest of margins is an E6400 (and the G465 which would not run the benchmark). The team over at are supreme for making an easy to use benchmark GUI, allowing a numpty like me to charge ahead with a set of four 1440p runs with maximum graphical settings. While not necessarily a game on everybody’s lips, Sleeping Dogs is a strenuous game with a pretty hardcore benchmark that scales well with additional GPU power.
