Triple Screens: 8 CPU's Tested with iRacing
This is a definitive video if you want to understand how the differences in the processors and explaining how the different bottlenecks happen
Thank you so much. Great video! May I ask where you sourced the casters used on your monitor stand?
Thank you :) I believe the casters were from Advanced Sim Racing, however, it appears they have since changed the design.
If the simulation logic doesn't run during a replay then this isn't a realistic benchmark
Real-time compute is very similar to replay playback, especially with iRacing. However, the dynamic interaction with AI or human opponents is a big variable and directly affects real-time performance (from run to run). The proximity to other cars is perhaps the most significant contributor to performance variance. This is especially true in triple screens (with proper view ports) and VR, and with mirrors enabled.
i noticed going from oculus VR to open XR (which was necessary in order to even use fpsvr app) resulted in higher render value and also more gpu usage i tried openxr toolkit and it has no foveated rendering, maybe thats why? how did you connect with your quest 3 and use fpsxr app to record the data? questlink with cable? does steam vr need to be running? also, my iracing is separate from steam. is that a problem? thanks
OpenXR often forces the iRacing 'R' value to your headsets refresh rate (11.1ms for 90Hz). Foveated rendering is not available on Radeon cards. I could only get fpsVR to work as a Steam application runing SteamVR (with OpenXR runtime) on the Valve Index. The Oculus results I show are just normal FPS values captured with CapFrameX.
Hello de FRANCE, jeune homme est-il possible d'avoir votre réglage en fichier de votre content manager ? Je vous en serais reconnaissant. Merci et super job. Je joue principalement sur assetto corsa en 11520 x 1600 soit 18 432 000 pixel avec une 4080 Aorus Master un 5950x et 64 Go de ram.
Hello, and thank you :) Unfortunately I did not save my Assetto Corsa settings.
Dude you’re doing the lords work! 😅 us sim racers appreciate you!
Appreciate all the work you put in. I think it’s important to highlight that in 1080p you’re extremely cpu limited for the 7900xtx which not necessarily indicates gpu performance and can therefore be a bit misleading. Good video tho!
Thanks :) Yes, albeit still strange to see the 7900XTX struggle relative to 4080S when CPU is suppose to be limiting performance. I had time to quickly verify that toggling off Game Mode, HAGS, ReBar didn't matter. Toggling on custom tuning of GPU and VRAM didn't help performance. All that suggests an inherent Radeon driver inefficiency. AMD just released 24.8.1 Adrenalin, so I will try those and compare next week.
Great charts. Very useful. I have a 5800X/3090, and I do VR. I'm trying to guess what it would take to run 120hz in a newer VR headset. I see that I shouldn't be too far off as is with my current set up, so long as I am ok with the occasional hiccup.
Dear CZcams algorithm, please promote this channel more. Thank you.✌️
Keeping a eye on this since I only have my PC case at the moment. Haven't decided what GPU to get and this will be one of my top simgames to buy.
do you think a 7900xt and a ryzen 5 7500f is enough for 1440p triples? gonna play on relatively low settings for fps
That is a good setup. Triples with multiple mirrors is challenging for any hardware. I recommend running just 2 mirrors, or just the virtual mirror, if you want to obtain high FPS.
Your CPU will determine the experience you have in this Title. Remember...... This is a Brand New 2024 Game. Don't expect to have top tier performance with hardware from generations back. This isn't Iracing, AMS, ACC.. ect! Which are all titles that. Are 5-10 yrs old now. Upgrade your PC Especially your CPU to have the best experience in this Title!

@jaaarhus The results I captured are accurate. Estimates are there to help those who own different hardware understand how those GPU may perform. Thanks for the feedback.
brilliant advice. these apps do some work in background, I agree. Will test to turn it off .7900xtx and ryzen 7 7800x3D CPU. VR is Pimax Crystal Light.
I love these vids man keep it up me and my friend have triple monitor setups he has 7800x3d with 4080s with 4k I got 7800x3d with 7900xtx with 2k we get similar fps, but its good to see a breakdown like this I love it
VR please. Thanks for video, I know you done some VR + GPU benchmarking earlier. There is no official VR support for Le Mans Ultimate, but when it comes, do we have a chance to get VR video? `yes really good sim. also Assetto Corsa Evo will be released soon.
thanks bro
So basically i need to get rid of my 6800xt and buy a 4080?? 😦
@@Poncheezy Rumors are Radeon '8800xt' is just around the corner. Might be worth waiting for.
Good to know my 7900XTX would be enough with medium/high setting in triple 4k. Asked a refund because the menu was so laggy but still curious about the game.
Thanks for doing this Matt! One weird thing with both rF2 and LMU s that when Post Effects (or maybe Special Effects) on anything above medium your performance can really suffer. For this reason I have them both set to medium. I don't know why, it's just a really resource intensive setting. Like cubemaps on iRacing. With shadows on medium, detail settings on ultra and reflections on low I'm locked at 120fps on my 3440x1440 using a 6700XT and 5600.
How about the performance in VR?
Benchmarking for this video, LMU crashed about 15% to 20% of the time. I've been following the VR thread on LMU forums but I do not think the current workaround is stable enough for benchmarking.
You have genuinely no idea how happy I am to see this. I plan on simracing in LMU and perhaps iRacing in the future once I’ve upgraded my monitor from 1080p to 1440p
Thanks for putting in the benchmarking work. As a 7900xtx user i am very curious why the frame rate tends to be lower in cpu limited scenarios. Especially since VRAM cant be of any concern when it is about 1080p performance. I love the card and its working well, but i am driving iRacing and EA WRC in a mostly CPU limited way and wonder if there is more to get from it 🤔
Increase your native resolution in order to shift more load to the GPU.
No way you test LMU! rF2 and LMU are different beast when it comes to performance as we can see. I have 7600x with Rx6950XT and I must say that your prediction are spot on;) Is there a chance that you have thought about testing the CPU? I'm currently playing only VR and basically only LMU and rF2. I want to upgrade but I'm not sure if I should go for 7800x3d of 7900XTX/4080s first.
I run LMU with 5800x3d 7900xt in ultra setting with 3440*1440 ultra wide and average115 fps but rf2 i only get arround 90fps lets say brands hatch with full grid btcc offline race in middle off field with cars arround me i have arround 85-90 fps alone with no car near by me i have arround 110fps
I was inclined to buy 4080 super, but it seems like 16GB could be limiting factor with VR and 7900XTX will have bigger overhead.
@@akozlowski1990 wait for the Nest gen bro if you dont need a card right now i would wait till Januar Februar
Yes, I will benchmark CPU performance. Cheers!

I mean nvidia with an amd cpu is def the clear choice for sim racing. Even the community is on the same page. Its crazy if you being up amd in the sim racing community. Nvidia may not even realize but its like 95% nvidia so yeah. But I do believe overall it does perform better in sim racing titles. Yet amd cpus perform better lol. Also the fact its so close anyways in raster with nvidia not choosing it doesnt make sense when you get all the features instead of just fsr. So even in amd won or edged it out. Nvidia imo would still make sense for the extras they offer and upcoming sim titles that will be utilizing thise things.
Depends on budget. I just bought a 7700xt. No way would I use that money for an 8gb 4060 with 30% less performance. NVIDIA is great, but really you're starting with 4070S
@@layingblacklinessry I should have been more precise. I meant high end cards. Budget and mid range it's hard to beat amd.
@@reviewforthetube6485 Yeah and conversely if I had that kind of money I don't think I'd spend it on an AMD for sim racing. Really it's the lack of VRAM that screws NVIDIA's mid range. It's not until you're spending enough to get a 7800XT that you get more than 8GB with NV. From that point onwards it makes more and more sense going NV. Particularly if you play iRacing in VR or triples, thanks to SMP and SPS.
@layingblacklines yeah exaclty and very true. Believe me I'm not an nvidia shill. I would happily get me a 6700xt or 6800xt if that was my budget. But at the higher end. The fact you get everything with nvidia just makes sense to choose a 4080 super over a 7900xtx purely because you get dlss, dlaa, nvidia frame gen and still ahve access to all of amd fsr and frame gen. So you get all instead of half of the features and you get the ray tracing on top. That's just logical thinking imo. Instead of actually being brand bias. I'll give amd credit though out of the box there is a very nice like. Nvidia has gotten much better now but it does hdr a bit different and sometimes menus and things don't look as good but in game it's incredible. You do need to dial it in and sometimes using rtx hdr is amazing even compared to native hdr. The only issue is it can be more demanding. I'm finding I found how to dial in normal hdr and now I'm on love with it. The way it handles lighting is truely game changing now for my preference.
Thanks. But fow-liage
I recently upgraded my cpu to a 5800x3d from 3950x using a 3090 on both CPU’s. With quest 3 on ams2 I can’t even run at 72hz anymore. I had a locked 72hz previously. I have no idea what’s going on here
BIOS values can reset to default on a CPU swap. (1) Double check you have the latest motherboard BIOS, if not, update to stable release. (2) Enable XMP memory profile, if your RAM supports it. (3) Enabled PBO. (4) Enable ReBar.

If i want play iracing in 3 screen 2k is 4070i is enough?
Yes, my 3080ti results are similar to that of 4070ti.
Would the triple 4k translate into VR performance? Asking because VR would be around 2*4k at 72/90fps ideal performance. Just wondering how the two 4080 and 7900xtx would fare
Thanks to the algo, I haven't even looking for GPU content for a few weeks, but here I am. I need a new laptop and don't have desktop. Never had gaming spec stuff. My next monitor will need to be the 57" dual 4K Samsung. It's so much more affordable than the watches and cars I lust for... What laptop specs might run dual 4K at 100 FPS in iracing at a detail level with 4K? Else, how might it look dialed down to 1440P leaving it to the monitor to scale up dumbly or cleverly? I don't know how clever they've made the monitor, but Samsung does have upscaling stuff in-house.
I do not have experience with gaming laptops :( Performance is worse compared to desktop (maybe -20%?). This website does gaming laptop reviews: www.notebookcheck.net
i love finding exactly what im looking for:) I got a PC RD 7900xtx and thinking of switching to a 4080 super. Thank you!
Glad I could help ya :)
@@BenchmarkOdysseys Thanks again, i have not had any system crashes running triples at high setting with the graphics profile you mentioned/used here. Would you have any explanation as to which graphics setting iRacing does NOT use so that I can make sure to turn them off? Thank again :)
@@MurrMaan11 Just so I understand. Your system is stable, however, you want to disable some of the iRacing graphics settings to gain performance?
This is the first time I saw somebody talking the science diference between flat screens and VR regards to hertz and fps relationship. I made a video about Flight simulators taking exactly the same approach named "X-Plane 12 - The VR BIBLE - for Quest 3 and Quest 2" Thanks for sharing that amount of knowledge This channel really deserve more views
i need u to upgrade your vr headset to like psvr 2 or reveb g2 at minimum
Increasing render resolution shifts the computation burden to the GPU. That's why I tested at lower resolution, to avoid a GPU bottleneck. Most reviewers of CPUs for pancake gaming will use 1080p to showcase the differences. Benchmarking at 4K usually isn't insightful (techpowerup always does that, check their CPU reviews). But VR is more complicated than monitor gaming. So it would be interesting to know if CPUs do perform similar when bound to GPU performance.
@@BenchmarkOdysseys valve index have the lowest resolution look very bad i hade it and returned it after few hours of use i have now psvr 2 for my ps5 so i was wondering what kind of gpu should i get dont want to spend to much either is there any gpu around 5-600 that can make it run flawlessly? without sacrifice resolution and fps to much
@@rinkumultani6515 Yes I agree, Valve Index does feel 'dated' now. Mine is very dependable, however, and always works even when Quest 3 lets me down. "Without sacrifice" and "flawless" are not reasonable goals with VR racing, especially with iRacing. For example, I have helped multiple users with RTX 4090, and compromises in settings and quality always have to be made. The fastest GeForce card you can afford will be the best option for VR and iRacing.
You can't imagine how these videos help us to decide what to do with our money!
120hz? No dice without upgrading to a new platform from my 5800X. Thanks for the useful information.
Super video! I currently run 10600K on iRacing VR and it just isn't cutting it. Updating to 7800x3D
Very interesting. 1% lows are interesting. Very little difference unless you are on different architecture. A 12600k or even a 12400k would offer fantastic value with very little difference in 1% lows.
I'm really interested in AMS2, thanks for the benchmark, It would be great if you did a CPU benchmark like you did for ACC, I'm trying to check if my 10400f is holding me back.
I was looking for your other video comparing different games with the mid-level NVIDIA vs mid-level AMD as I remember some sims preferring one over the other. Like iRacing preferred AMD while ACC preferred NVIDIA. Was wondering if you plan to do a similar test for Le Mans Ultimate? Like if you mainly run LMU and want to get the best mid-level card for that sim are you better off going with an NVIDIA or AMD? For triples I was thinking, but would really be interested in whatever results. There's a couple funny things happening with like mirrors costing next to nothing, but going from Medium special effects to High bringing a system to it's knees.
I have now 11700 with 2x16gb@4000Mhz + 3080ti. Should i buy 7500f/7700/7800x3d(130$, 200$, 370$) for 3440x1440@144hz?
Hrmm, tough call. You'd have to step up to 7800X3D to really feel the difference. But 9800X3D is just around the corner, maybe January?

@@Sceapt That sounds reasonable. I think the 7700 will have better resell value than 7500f. The 7600X I used for benching, is one I bought used from someone who upgraded to X3D. Sometimes I forget I have it installed and not the 7800X3D. The performance advantage of X3D only shows itself during the most intense racing scenarios.

@@youngbeliz6177 My triples are Gigabyte M28U IPS 4K 144Hz. Performance is acceptable, no quality issues. There's a bit more smearing/ghosting than I expected.
MSI Afterburner has been causing stuttering for years, I surprised it took you this long to figure out, no offense. I used to be an avid user of MSI Afterburner, but after so many issues of it causing crashes in specific games, I started defaulting to have MSI Afterburner closed, and performance across all my games was way more stable.
None taken. If I was afraid to be wrong, I wouldn't publish content to YT lol
precicely because of similar problems like this i have for years now, during normal gaming sessions, completely shut down all 3rd party tools & programs that i can. i do not need an overlay during gameplay at all!. the only time i use rtss / afterburner is for initial testing of settings of new games to find my preferred performance corridor to enjoy the gameplay. with a nice balance between fps and visual quality.
How did you connect the 7900xtx to 3 monitors? Specifically the USBc. Did you use a usbc to DP or hdmi cable?
The 7900 XTX I tested (XFX Speedster) has 3 DP outputs and 1 HDMI, so I didn't use adapters. You can buy cables that go USBc to HDMI or DP, usually +$30 USD because you need high bandwidth if driving 4K at 144Hz.
This is so helpful. I have a 4070 super and an i4700k and my frames are struggling. This confirms I really need a new CPU like, yesterday, for my triple 1440 setup
Heh, well you're nearly at the top of the current CPU lineup with 14700K. Maybe the unannounced 9800X3D will be a worthy upgrade.
You are one of a few people who know what you are talking about. Thank you. Let me add. My intensive experience is also frustrating. The complexity is even greater as VR performance varies per track, and the biggest problem is consistency. In my VR quest 3, some tracks are awesome, but at one turn, I get that annoying stuttering. My conclusion is that with a less perfect setup, it is kind of too hard to achieve a good VR experience. Lowering settings does not eliminate issues but just lowers them a little. You need a 4090, which I have, and the fastest CPU available with wifi 6e .... to have a near-optimal experience. VR is still a way from being perfect. Let's not forget that iRacing may need to optimize some of the tracks for VR, especially during fog and rain. My experience is the best VR projection software is Steam, but it requires a lot of CPU power. Note that Steam shines, especially with openXR. Still, the best for iRacing is the quest link cable, with OpenXR, which provides the lowest latency. Once I upgrade my CPU, I should use Quest link cable+, openXR toolkit, +Steam for projection, and iRacing, all on maxed-up settings. Yes, the experience is close to real driving 🚗. A small interesting observation is once latency is low, the control of the car becomes so amazing. That is what all top racers have, but they avoid mentioning it much. You feel immediately once the car oversteers, and correcting that becomes much easier. Sure not less than 120fps.
