So that’s all the gaming benchmarks we have for Ryzen 7 2700X and Intel Core i7 9700K. By the looks of the number, it looks like the i7 9700k performance is a little better than Ryzen 2700x at 1080p and 1440p. But at 2160p, both CPUS perform similarly. Both CPUS were also able to get that sweet 60Fps in all games, of course, thanks to Nvidia’s New RTX 2080ti.
