The Intel Core i9-9900KS Review: The 5 GHz Consumer Special
by Dr. Ian Cutress on October 31, 2019 10:45 AM ESTGaming: 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.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

A little mistake on my part, it was my AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and not the x2. The worst about this problem was that the chipset (nForce3-250 or something like that) was made by Nvidia and it had problems with their video cards only.I forgot to mention that we bought a new system for my brother because the CPU died, I think that's the only cpu that ever died on me and it was an i5-2500k. The most shocking about that is I overclocked mine to 4.7ghz for all these years and it's still going strong(hence the reason I'm still waiting to upgrade). He bought some closed loop water cooling and never overclocked the cpu still it died on him... shame.

hmm so intel has better quality etc lets consider for a moment all the security issues with intel, then lets look at the way they refused to develop the cpu until AMD came alont with 12, then 12+ then 7 and shortly 7+ meanwhile intel cannot make a decent 10nm chip speaks volumes about your argument, then lets look at the TDP the AMD chip at 65w is almost neck and neck with the intel one at 255w !Only cpu i ever had fail was a core 2 duo never lost a GPU from either camp but guess what... the intel GPU is being design led by a former AMD/ATI staffer as is the new intel CPU as well, think we can leave it there

If you want stream your game while paying, get the 3900X.outsideloop - Friday, November 1, 2019 - link

No more of the weird streaming comments please. Nobody really streams.BikeDude - Wednesday, November 6, 2019 - link
<blockquote>more mature product</blockquote>But all reports so far indicates that Intel has been hit much harder by spectre-class bugs?

Curious you think that someone considering a 9900KS is a 'budget' gamer. You could easily make that argument with any high end component. I'd expect them to be pairing this with both a 2080ti and a high refresh monitor.evernessince - Friday, November 1, 2019 - link
I think you are mistaking enthusiast for "fool". I've bought a 980 Ti and a 1080 Ti but I sure as hell ain't going to buy a 2080 Ti. I had a 5820K and bought a 3700X.Thankfully, there are some of us with some fiscal responsibility.

And to add to that, I can easily fit a high end 200W+ TDP CPU cooler in my small mATX case, but I cannot fit a graphics card that is longer than 26 cm (23.5 cm after my front fan modifications) into my case. SFF systems are more limited by graphics card size than cooler size most of the time. And the best cards in a smaller form factor are 1080 TI and 2070 Super as far as I know.
