I'm looking for an extended, real-world comparison of gaming performance between an OC'd Ryzen CPU and the OC'd 7700K.
A lot of the benchmarks test at 1080p, which is totally irrelevant for most enthusiast gamers. Some are at 4K, but those are with stock speeds.
I use a 3440x1440 ultrawide, which is about 60% of 4K and it seems hard to find real benchmarks for high resolutions. As AdoredTV pointed out a while back, low resolution benchmarks for CPU don't serve a lot of purpose for predicting long term performance in games.
Most of them only list avg FPS, and not frame times or minimum FPS values - which are often more important than the avg frame rates.
I've checked most of the bigger review sites for decent benchmarks, but it has been hard to find them. I'm most likely going with Ryzen for my next build, but I'd rather make an informed decision.
Has anyone came along some extended, high-res benchmarks for Ryzen?
Ryzen is new and is evolving furiously so any benchmarks you might find are already out of date. I'm not sure if anyone here has done any extensive benching in games yet, but the word in the Ryzen cpu thread is that Ryzen is not as fast as the 7700K in games but runs them smoother. Plus it has more cores so is more future proof.
At such resolution you will not see a difference in FPS let's say between a 3.6GHz Ryzen 8c/16t and a 4GHz Ryzen 8c/16t.
Even in a very outclassed "deathmatch" between let's say a 5.3GHz 7700K ( 4c8t ) and a 3.2GHz 2500K ( 4c4t ), at 1440p there will barely be a difference ( under 5fps ) and at 4k or pretty near 4k like you, there will be no difference.
For "futureproofing" for gaming only ( not doing high end gaming + streaming on the same PC ) I'd opt for a 6c/12t or 8c/16t CPU ( and a decent HSF to take it to 4GHz - 4.4GHz depending on CPU & luck ).

Sort of what I was thinking too, but I'd like to have that "general idea" backed by numbers.

I agree with Miklkit, I'm in the same boat as OP seeking more recent benchmarks for 1440p. And although I have found some online, the difference between the ones from March have improved quite a bit after optimization updates and what not. Nevertheless I believe Ryzen to be very good when it comes to 1440p gaming, especially when paired with a 1080(ti).

Thanks for the link. This is the kind of stuff I've been looking for. Too bad they don't include minimums/frametimes - but it's kind of what I was expecting for high res.
In some titles, where the 7700K has a lead on low res, it loses to the 1700X on high-res. And that's with both CPUs @stock speed - so I expect an OC 1700x to gain even more headroom over the 7700K at high res.
yeah i've only seen very few benchmarks where the games are tested above 1080p, and like in the one linked above any advantage intel had in 1080p would often disappear.
i think i'll go for the 1700 in few months time, still hoping than coffee lake might be either better, or cause prices to fall, although i'm not holding my breath for the latter...
