Discrete GPU Benchmarks
3DMark
Discrete GPU performance follows a similar trend to our CPU benchmarks. The R7 1700 doesn’t fair too well at stock clocks, but with a good overclock, both the 1700 and the 1800X are pretty close to each other.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
The R7 1800X dominated this test, and while not quite as impressive, the R7 1700 is certainly keeping a respectable pace at both stock and overclocked speeds.
Shadow of Mordor
The scores are looking the same here, again, low at stock, and right behind the 1800X while overclocked. The R7 1800X did top the chart, though, so while the R7 1700 is for the most part pretty close, the speed advantage of the 1800X does bring benefits from time to time. Do keep in mind, however, that from top to bottom, there’s not a huge FPS difference between most of the chips on this list, they all did a pretty solid job of removing bottlenecks from the GPU.
Hard to take ANY of this seriously when you suspect thermal throttling at the end because of inadequate cooling. If the chip was throttling from the get go then every single bench mark was null.
Put a better cooler on and retest…
Huh? A 240mm CLC + one of the best conventional thermal compounds in the world is “inadequate cooling”?
Very first paragraph you wrote 1700X but you meant 1700. Didn’t read other comments to see if this has been mentioned.
He should listen you … Coz there are more typo errors …
Hard to take a article seriously when theres as many errors in it as this… one of the charts isn’t even right, and I’d question some of the results compared to the 1800X too.
maybe in may, ram issues cleared
Really bad review…
Only review that has a big difference between 1700 and 1800x OC. And the only review where the 1800x is at the top of the chart. And how does 2.5% of clock turns into + 12% performance?????
