I know that the uncore supposedly doesn't give a huge boost in performance, fine. I get that. Let's move on.
They say that you generally want the uncore to have a value that is 2-3 away of the CPU ratio. For clarity, if you have a 5.0 ghz overclock, you would want your uncore to be 48 or 47. When you buy a 8086k, it ships with a 5.0 ghz core, and the uncore is 47. Even Intel shows this is in general what it should be.
Most people who I speak to when overclocking their 8700k/8086k, don't even touch their uncore. They drop it lower than stock or leave it on default in order to achieve a higher core clock.
Is there an inherent performance boost in simply having the uncore within 2-3 of the CPU ratio? Would this potentially help with latency, having both of the values so close together vs. having them far apart?
People often say as well that uncore offers very little and I should focus more on the CPU ratio instead. I am a Battlefield player.
I will direct your attention to this video. https://youtu.be/R0FBoQtV234?t=3m8s The majority of it shows what people say is true. Overclocking the uncore will not render large gains. However, when he gets to BF1, he is able to get a much better return, like 60 fps boost. There is no other videos out there collaborating or disproving this.
What should I be trying to do on my 8087k with the knowledge I am a BF player? Overclock to 5.2 with a 47 uncore? Or go for 5.1 with a 49 uncore?
