Gaming: F1 2018

Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained; otherwise, we should see any newer versions of Codemasters' EGO engine find its way into F1. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2018 keeps a useful racing-type graphics workload in our benchmarks.

We use the in-game benchmark, set to run on the Montreal track in the wet, driving as Lewis Hamilton from last place on the grid. Data is taken over a one-lap race.

    I don't know what's more delusional, Intel selling a 500Watt CPU
    or fanboys thinking that this product will sell well at $3000.

    Listen buddy, most sales from these systems come from Dell, HP and/or Lenovo workstations.
    Nobody is going to bother messing with a cpu that's a fire hazard, gives you the same PCI-e lanes as a $300 CPU and you are obliged, as Dell/HP/Lenovo, to buy special motherboards from asus or another manufacturer.
    Finally, the product placement here from Purch media targets Gamers, plus intel targets gamers.
    This is just a shelf product, just like 8700k and 9900k to fight for the first position in some benchmarks, against zen, due to the unfortunate circumstances of zen being that good.
    This product takes binned cpus away from much higher priced Xeons. They are not going to make great numbers available, by default, even if they could supply the market.

    "delusional", "fanboys", "Listen buddy", "fire hazard"

    You don't have to get so emotional to make a point.

    I like my comments to be vivid.
    I don't write NPC comments.

    Then you should move to somewhere like Wccftech, where you won't even have to rationalize picking fights and being gratuitously rude. People like you ruin the tone of a quality forum.

    Being vulgar and crass isn't the same as being "vivid". If you cannot reply without resorting to name calling, then this not the place for you.

    What part of his comment insulted you, snowflake?

    I didn't say he's not right.

    None. The point is this is a tech site. There is no need for such remarks.

    "Snowflake"

    This is what I'm talking about. Randomly calling people names with no reason. You don't even know me.

    I've run a lot of paper and pencil RPGs over the years and I'm disappointed to say that a number of my cookie cutter NPCs had more personality than some of the player characters, but I'm one of those story first GM types.

    Buzzwords or not the man is right.

    You have no idea what professional software costs. In the end my clients dont care if the PC costs 5000USD, 7000 USD or 12000USD.
    The difference disapear when you add the software costs and my fee.
