Core i7 8700K vs. Ryzen 7 2700X With Rise of The Tomb Raider On Linux

The Core i7 8700K vs. Ryzen 7 2700X Linux performance for this latest AAA Linux game port was very close on both the RX 580 and RX Vega 64, but the Core i7 8700K did expand its lead in the more demanding scene of Geothermal Valley when paired with the RX Vega 64.

With 2560 x 1440 at low quality settings, the performance was nearly identical on these competing x86 CPUs.

Needless to say at 4K with low quality settings when the GPUs become the bottleneck, the Ryzen 7 2700X was still able to keep up with the Core i7 8700K.
