In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses benchmark results using the 12400f and 7700x CPUs with different GPUs, focusing on potential bottlenecks. They highlight the importance of monitoring GPU and CPU usage, one percent lows, frame times, and RAM impact on performance. Tests with games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man Remastered, Modern Warfare 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 showcase similar performance between the CPUs with no obvious bottleneck, except for slight differences in specific scenarios. The video emphasizes the significance of balanced system components for optimal gaming experience.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the performance of two CPUs, the 12400f and the 7700x, with different GPUs across various game benchmarks. The 12400f closely matches the 7700x in most benchmarks, with some struggles at very high settings in games like Cyberpunk and Spider-Man Remastered at 1080p. However, both CPUs perform similarly at lower settings, showing minimal bottlenecking. When upgraded to a 3070 GPU and tested at 1440p, both CPUs continue to perform well with no bottlenecking observed in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Modern Warfare 2.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the performance comparison between CPUs in various games is discussed. At 1080p resolution with balanced presets, both the 12400f and 7700x CPUs perform similarly without any bottleneck. Moving on to Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p ultra settings, both CPUs maintain the GPU at 98 to 99% usage. However, in Spider-Man Remastered at 1440p very high Ray Tracing, the 12400f struggles with poor frame times and lows compared to the 7700x. Lowering the resolution to 1080p helps the 12400f perform better. The 12400f shows poorer performance with Ray Tracing enabled but improves when turned off. Therefore, it is suggested to forgo 1080p benchmarks with powerful GPUs like the 6800 XT, where the 12400f may bottleneck performance. The video also mentions adding 4K benchmarks to avoid long durations and notes that other videos cover 1080p 12400f benchmarks.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the 12400F CPU is compared with the 7700X in various gaming scenarios. At 4K resolution with medium Ray tracing, both CPUs perform similarly with no bottleneck observed. Moving to 1440p with medium Ray tracing shows a minor separation in performance, but both CPUs still perform well. In the Modern Warfare 2 Benchmark, the 7700X takes a lead at 1080p, while at 1440p both CPUs perform almost identically, with the 12400F slightly better. The CPUs show no bottleneck at 4K resolution. In Spider-Man remastered benchmarks, both CPUs perform similarly at 4K very high Ray tracing, with the 12400F keeping the GPU maxed out. Overall, the 12400F CPU performs well without causing significant bottlenecks in these gaming scenarios.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on benchmarking Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Modern Warfare 2, and Spider-Man remastered at different settings. Both the Intel Core i5-12400F and Intel Core i7-7700X show no signs of bottlenecking in most scenarios, with minor performance differences seen in certain benchmarks. The GPUs maintain close to 100% usage across different settings, indicating no significant bottleneck issues. The Intel Core i5-12400F lags slightly behind the Intel Core i7-7700X in some scenarios but still performs well without major bottlenecks. Overall, the testing shows consistent performance with minor variations between the CPUs.
00:18:00
In this segment of the video, the narrator discusses testing various CPUs with different GPUs at different resolutions and settings in games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk, and Modern Warfare 2. They note bottlenecks with CPUs like the 12400f and 7700x at 1440p and 4K resolutions, with differences in FPS and GPU usage. The comparison shows the 7700x performing better in some tests, while the 7900 XTX experiences issues at high settings in Red Dead Redemption 2. Throughout the segment, the focus is on determining bottlenecks and performance differences between CPUs and GPUs at varying settings.
00:21:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the performance of the i7-7700X, i9-7900 XTX, and i5-12400F CPUs in various gaming scenarios. The i7-7700X consistently outperforms the i5-12400F in terms of FPS and usage percentages, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The i5-12400F struggles with bottlenecks, especially in scenarios where high frame rates are required, emphasizing the need for a more powerful CPU for competitive gaming. The conclusion suggests that for single-player experiences, a lower-end CPU like the i5-12400F may suffice, but for high frame rates and competitive titles, a higher-end CPU like the i7-7700X is recommended. Additionally, the speaker recommends investing in a better monitor for 1440p gaming rather than upgrading the CPU for improved performance.
00:24:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the struggling point of the Intel Core i5-12400F with Ray tracing, which was particularly noticeable in Spider-Man remastered. However, there was no significant bottlenecking in a game like Cyberpunk 2077. The 12400F excelled in straight rasterize performance compared to the 7700X. The video aims to help viewers understand potential bottlenecks with the 12400F to assist in decision-making for upgrades or PC builds. Tests suggest that at higher resolutions and graphics quality settings, one is likely to be more GPU-bound than CPU-bound. The video concludes with a call to action for comments, subscriptions, and likes to engage viewers in discussing the results and interesting performance variations observed with the 12400F despite lacking e-cores.
