  • - Hey guys, this is Austin!

  • This is the gaming PC that we built just a few weeks ago,

  • which has since seen some slight upgrades

  • since the last time you've seen it.

  • So, as a little bit of a refresher,

  • before we had a Core i7-8086K inside,

  • a GTX 1080 Ti, we had 16 gigs of memory,

  • 512 gig ssd, Optane memory, a 14 terabyte hard-drive.

  • This is a pretty well spec'd system,

  • but in the last few weeks

  • there's been a few new hardware announcements,

  • if you've missed them.

  • Including now the RTX 2080 Ti which we have installed.

  • But also he brand new Intel Core i9-9900K.

  • We're going from six cores on the previous high-end

  • up to eight cores with hyper-threading.

  • If you go to the i7, you've got eight cores

  • to that hyper-threading.

  • If you go to the i5, it's going to have six cores

  • with no hyper-threading.

  • No more hyper-threading, it's a sad day.

  • Except, well, it's not really,

  • 'cause it doesn't make a big difference but, yeah.

  • So where our 8086 processor from before

  • was a very overclockable six core chip

  • with a five gigahertz boost out of the box,

  • what we're getting with the i9

  • is actually a similar performance.

  • So the base clock is 3.6 gigahertz,

  • but right out of the box without having to touch anything,

  • we can hit five gigahertz.

  • And believe me when I say,

  • little bit of overclocking, this thing should be impressive.

  • But unlike most videos where we spend lots of times

  • benchmarking and testing,

  • today we're doing something a little different.

  • I'm going to do all this live,

  • and see exactly just how powerful

  • this Core i9 is compared with the RTX 2080 Ti.

  • I hope this all goes well,

  • and not like one of Linus's videos

  • where he spends three days troubleshooting

  • some obscure technical issue.

  • It all looks like it works though, so.

  • So this is the first time that we've had a full eight core

  • processor on the consumer side for Intel.

  • Now Ryzen has been around for a few years

  • and that does actually support a full eight core chip.

  • But this is a little bit more expensive

  • and hopefully a little bit more powerful.

  • So the first thing I'm gonna do, is run a quick Cinebench.

  • The 8086 ran something like a 212 on single-core.

  • So, let's see how close we can get with this.

  • So, while we're running the test,

  • it's looking like around 4.4 to 4.5 gigahertz.

  • Actually, I don't know why this is not boosting higher.

  • I mean, it's a perfect single-threaded workload,

  • it should be at a five gigahertz

  • or at least somewhere around that.

  • But we're pretty much topped out at 4.4 to 4.5.

  • I wonder, (chuckles) if the technical problems

  • are already beginning.

  • 190, yeah that's (sighs), man!

  • That's lower.

  • So, we get like 210 or so on the 8086

  • and that's 100% because this is not boosting up higher.

  • I can't even get one benchmark done.

  • I'm all happy like, yeah cool!

  • We got you know, no technical problems

  • 'cause it all works.

  • I've been doing this for five seconds,

  • and we're already not doing well.

  • Oh no, the internet dropped didn't it?

  • You gotta be kidding though, right?

  • (chuckles)

  • Look at that!

  • No internet!

  • Great!

  • This is like the lamest version

  • of the video I had in mind possible.

  • One quick BIOS update later,

  • we have something that should boost a lot quicker.

  • So let's start the single-core.

  • Ideally we see, oh yeah, 4.9, 4.9,

  • five gigahertz, there we go,

  • that's what I'm talking about.

  • And again, this is not overclocked.

  • Running on a single-core,

  • this chip should easily hit five gigahertz.

  • And especially, if we're actually able

  • to put a little bit more overclock through it.

  • Oh man!

  • I'm so happy, it's always great when it's not a huge issue

  • and it's something really simple like,

  • I forgot to get the most recent BIOS

  • instead of the one right before that.

  • Okay, so our first run was 190 before the update,

  • and there we go, 213.

  • So it's almost exactly what we got at the 8086

  • which does make sense.

  • As far as single-threaded performance goes,

  • they're both Skylake cores,

  • and they both can boost to five gigahertz.

  • The real test is when we switch over to the multi-core.

  • (chuckles) That's so much better!

  • Man, I've just done Cinebench so many times,

  • it's nice to see that many threads just chewing it up.

  • So for reference, the last time,

  • we got about just under 1400 on the 8086

  • but with two more cores, and we're still boosting it,

  • look at that, 4.7 gigahertz on all eight cores.

  • Look at that, it's done!

  • Wow! 2078, that is actually,

  • that's actually, wait why is it?

  • That's really high, hang on a second.

  • What's the difference there?

  • Dude, that's almost 40% faster.

  • So, I guess there's a couple reasons behind that.

  • One of which would be of course,

  • we do have two more cores that's naturally

  • going to kick in some performance.

  • And we were able to stay at 4.7 gigahertz the entire time.

  • I think a big part of that, is that unlike

  • the older series chips which did have a little bit

  • of thermal paste in between the heat spreader

  • and the chip, instead we actually have solder now,

  • which does dissipate that heat a little bit better,

  • and allows to boost really high out of the box,

  • that's cool, that actually...

  • - Hey! I see what you did there!

  • Before we get too far into it though,

  • let's actually get a little bit of 3DMark going.

  • (sighs loudly) Did the internet drop again?

  • (chuckles)

  • No it didn't, did it?

  • That's great when it turns on for five minutes

  • and then drops back out,

  • makes this video super easy to do.

  • - [Group] Woosah!

  • - After a little bit of internet TLC,

  • it's back up and it's time to run Time Spy.

  • So this is a benchmark which is primarily

  • going to test our RTX 2080 Ti.

  • But with that Core i9 on board,

  • it should help out a little bit.

  • But I'm mostly curious to see

  • how it actually stacks up compared

  • to our previous setup with 1080 Ti.

  • For reference, our previous score

  • completely sucked, mind you, with 9,487 in Time Spy.

  • So that's what we've gotta beat.

  • I think we've got a pretty good shot.

  • So this is a Founders Edition of the RTX 2080 Ti.

  • And just like with the CPU,

  • we're not doing any kind of overclocking right now.

  • I wanna get a pure apples to apples benchmark.

  • Then, we can get a look at more of the fun stuff going.

  • All right, not bad!

  • So, we went from 9,400 all the way up to 12,641.

  • And what the big things that I think helped us there,

  • is the CPU score is 11,000.

  • That's not bad.

  • - [Ken] Oh, you should, yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • - That's gonna take a while.

  • $10 later, I have now upgraded my Time Spy

  • for the full 4K version.

  • Now I actually don't have the numbers

  • on what this is like on the 1080 Ti and the previous setup.

  • But, I'm curious to see how it performs against well,

  • I guess everyone else's 2080 Ti numbers?

  • Wait, why are we doing this?

  • Everyone else is like overclocking,

  • this is like, totally stocked.

  • There's no point of running it in 4K.

  • Ken, did I just placed $10 for nothing?

  • - [Ken] It's for--

  • - For Science?

  • - [Ken] Science.

  • - Interesting.

  • This is totally different than the normal version.

  • 6,100, wow that's actually really fast.

  • Wow!

  • So, I've not tested any other 2080 Ti setups

  • but that's actually a little bit quicker,

  • and I think it's mostly because of the i9?

  • Well actually to be fair,

  • we are running the Founders Edition.

  • So benchmarks, cool, but let's actually play

  • some real games.

  • Smash cut to me playing Fortnite.

  • (chuckles)

  • So a little bit of Dave's favorite gameplay from the bus,

  • full Epic settings, 4k.

  • Fortnite is pretty smooth, 85, 90 frames per second.

  • As you drop, maybe a little bit closer

  • to the high 70's maybe?

  • Yeah, it's a, I can play Fortnite,

  • in case you're curious.

  • You know what's kind of nice about this setup?

  • It's surprisingly quiet, even though

  • we've got the Founders Edition

  • which definitely does not have the best kind of cooling,

  • there's definitely some after market cards

  • which have much much beefier coolers

  • that'll get a lot more airflow going.

  • But this is actually a fairly quiet system.

  • And keep in mind this is with the side panel off.

  • Oh you know, if I jump on here I can parachute, can't I?

  • This is about, this is playground.

  • No, okay maybe I can't do that.

  • Got it, okay!

  • That's great.

  • A little bit of PUBG action again,

  • 4k, Ultra settings and here running around

  • in this completely empty area

  • with no other people to test it with.

  • We've got 78 frames per second.

  • This is the way to do it, right?

  • You walk around all the people who are just sitting

  • in the lobby not doing anything.

  • It's actually a reasonable specs test, though.

  • PUBG does definitely scale based on

  • how many characters you have on screen at once.

  • You know it's funny, even at 4k Ultra settings,

  • PUBG, still not the nicest looking game around.

  • Is it too late to test Call of Duty: Black Ops?

  • All right!

  • We're in the game and we've got

  • a pretty impressive 80 frames per second.

  • This is, actually it's kind of impressive,

  • that with a single GPU and with a consumer,

  • oh it's bad, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad, okay!

  • So that is just a little taste

  • of what you gonna expect at the Core i9-9900K

  • as well as RTX 2080 Ti.

  • Definitely stay tune, this is not the last time

  • you're going to see this PC on the channel.

- Hey guys, this is Austin!
