It really is interesting, because turning off HT on my I3 increases the score but ~20Mbeams, but I can run less cars until playability dropoff. I think it has to do with cache management, but AMD must be very different.
I am not sure if that works on my specific i7-5960X but I like my 16 threads very much I wont be going in and turning half of them off....
Devs haven't yet commented on possible optimization for Ryzen CPU's, as they are posessing great bang for the buck especially in games like these, which like multicore CPU's.
Pretty good for 140$.. Not impressive, but at least it's better than my old FX-4100. From 34 Mbeams/s to 93 Mbeams/s.
Best result from 5 runs: 208.649 MBeams/s. Worst result: 198.693. Specs: Ryzen 1600 @3.75GHz Ram: 2x8GB @2800Mhz CL16-16-16-35. Ran some more runs after a 3.8GHz overclock. Worst result from six runs: 200.881 Best result from six runs: 210.089
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 @3.9ghz RAM: 2x4gb @2400mhz Did 5 runs Average: 211.566 Best: 212.608 Worst: 210.266 I was able to play at 4.0ghz normally, but the PC froze when I tried to do the benchmark with it so I turned it down to 3.9ghz.
That's a good ''rock'' you got, mine won't go stable beyond 3.85 GHz. There is some lottery with these when you buy these, some of them go nicely and some have some limitations. Generally they still should go fast enough to get over 200 JBeam/s' on each run and run this game very well.
Intel Core i7 4790k 2x8 GB DDR3 @ 1866 MHz 131.444 Mbeams/s 15 max realtime vehicles I think that's pretty good for a quad-core from 2014.
Decided to do new tests with latest bioses with R5 1600 on Prime B350 Plus motherboard. More overclock to the CPU, from 3.8 GHz --> 3.9 GHz. RAM running with AUTO timings this time, but speed was increased from 2933 --> 3000 (original factory max is 2666). Previous results improved from 204 --> 217 Edit: 3.9 GHz wasn't stable enough, the bench froze couple times and video encoding was freezing all the time, so I settled down to 3.875 GHz and tightened the RAM timings a bit, 215 was the peak from the BananaBench after that. Nevertheless, the BIOS and Chipset updates in past 6 months have brought 10 MBeams/s improvement to the performance on Ryzen platform.
My result with 6600k @ stock 3.9GHz Does 100% realtime here translate to 20fps in-game?(Not taking graphics in mind) Also, does anyone have banana bench results for 8700k?
CPU: R5 1600X @ ~3.9 GHz @ ~1.2 V. Usage ~ 80 %. Temperature ~ 45°C Tdie. RAM: 2 x 8 GB @ 3200 MHz CL16. Board: ASRock AB350 Gaming ITX. BIOS: L4.51D
