![]() ![]() Making things even weirder, the minimum framerate inconsistency didn't level out, even landing a freakish 54 on one run. I reinstalled and ran the tests again on the 5800x.ĥ800x w/ 3800 MHz RAM (fresh Windows install w/ this CPU) Windows has become so good at handling hardware changes, and the CPU itself doesn't require any specific drivers, that I thought this wouldn't matter. I thought maybe Windows was doing something odd, since I didn't reinstall between processor swaps. What was odd was the very consistent minimum framerates on the 3700x were wildly inconsistent on the 5800x. So after switching to the 5800x, it was clear it was a massive improvement. The last run of each section is played on "faster," or real time, and should be more representative of the gameplay experience. The first three runs are at 4x replay speed, and only intended to show the relative performance of the processors without me spending all day on this. Results are presented as min, max, average. Vsync off for testing purposes (usually off, g-sync on, vsync forced via Nvidia CP) G.Skill 2x8GB 3600 MHz CL 16 Samsung B DieĪSUS ROG Strix 1080 Ti w/ EKWB water cooling I started each benchmark as soon as my probes touched the mineral fields, ramped the replay speed to 4x at 5 seconds, and ended the benchmark at 11 minutes, just when I was pushing the enemy main and one AI surrendered. This map always seemed to hit performance heavier than a lot of others, so I figured it would be a good test. I freshly installed Windows and drivers before testing, and used a custom video settings combination I've found to be a good balance of visuals and performance (see below). I also used my manual overclock of 3800 MHz with timings and subtimings tweaked. I ran my RAM at the stock auto, which set it to 2133 MHz. I also decided to test the impact of RAM speeds and timings while I did this. The 5800x also runs hotter and generates more heat at full load. The 5800x has higher base and boost clocks, and is a lot more expensive, even when you compare by launch price, rather than current price. Fortunately, this makes the tests I did more direct, as there is no 5700x yet, so the 5800x is basically the successor. I wanted a 5950x, but the global shortage has made that difficult, so I'll go top of the line in the next generation. I wasn't able to find a lot of information on the performance difference between these generations of Ryzen on StarCraft 2, so I did some benchmarking runs to share. So I just upgraded from an AMD 3700x to a 5800x. ![]()
