Meanwhile, with the GTX 1080 installed the R5 1600 is competitive with the 7700K.

Using the GTX 1080 though we see that Ryzen is indeed now competitive.

Anyway, using DX12 we do see some interesting things.

First, at 1080p we are mostly CPU limited I’d say.

Moving to 1440p load begins to shift more towards the GPU but we do see something of note.

This is also seen when using the GTX 1080, though to a much lesser degree.

What was just seen when testing with Ashes of the Singularity is somewhat amplified in Civilization VI.

The GTX 1080 is capable of basically the same numbers we saw when testing with the 7700K.
