AMD Ryzen 7 1700 GTA V gaming benchmark disappoints

A lot of Ryzen pre-orders were sold this week based on the massive hype AMD build up but unfortunately we still don't have a clear picture of how AMD's new architecture performs in games.

Now we have a leaked GTA V gaming benchmark which shows the Ryzen 7 1700 ($329) versus the Intel Core i7 7700K ($349.99) and if these results are true it's quite a bummer. The origin of this leak is DinoPC from OCUK, his video has been removed but of course if something interesting hits the web it lives on forever.

One set of benchmark scores was gathered on a system with the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and the ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard, while the other set originates from an Intel Core i7-7700K on a Gigabyte Z270 Ultra Gaming X motherboard. Both systems had the same NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, memory, PSU, and cooling system.

GTA V was benched at Full HD resolution with unknown settings. Overall the results are quite disappointing for Ryzen as the Ryzen 7 1700 gets its ass handed to it by the Core i7-7700K. At stock clockspeeds, the 7700K has an average frame rate that is 4fps higher than the Ryzen 7 1700. The Ryzen chip hits an average framerate of 85 whereas the 7700K delivers 89fps.

The difference is a lot bigger when you look at the minimum framerate delivered by each chip. Whereas the Intel chip delivers a minimum framerate of 38fps, the Ryzen 7 1700 achieves just 28fps. Similarly, there's a huge difference between the maximum framerates, the Intel chip delivers up to 170fps while the AMD chip does just 132fps. Overclocked results for the 7700K at 5GHz are also included.

Of course, it's just one test in a somewhat older game and with very limited information but it's a good example of why it's not a good idea to pre-order something without knowing the performance.
