Just watched an amazing You Tube video on this title subject.  Everyone needs to watch this and appreciate what this budget Ryzen 5 5600 CPU is capable of.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Wow... That's interesting.

Now I just have to find a GPU that's better than my RX570.

Heck, I'm still running an ASUS RX 480 on this upgrade Ryzen 5 5600 of mine.  I'm still happy with the results I get from it.

[Axxemann]

You've got double the VRAM I have. If I had a link to that benchmark that you ran, I'd show you my score.

Here you go my friend:

They have 3 really good benchmarks; Heaven, Valley, and Superposition.

Superposition supports a stress test as well.

[Axxemann]

Downloaded them and running them shortly!

[Axxemann]

My Superposition results in 1080p Medium and High.

Heaven ran pretty good (I benchmarked Dx11 on that one) and did Dx9 on Valley.

Oddly enough, Superposition shows my GPU as a 470/480 when it's actually a 570.

I assume you didn't download the two legacy ones.  They are obsolete and I didn't realize that they still posted them.

[Axxemann]

Nope. Didn't bother.

Hey @Axxemann ; have you watched that video on the 5600 when will it bottleneck your GPU.  I posted it yesterday after watching it and I'm serious, everyone on this forum needs to watch this and see what gem the 5600 actually is.

[Axxemann]

I did. 

[Vynski]

I guess you have watched it. Lost track of where I was at. LOL

Thats only halve the truth, as it depends on the game. F.e. I have an 5800x and a 7900xt.  In Valheim when your base and you Terraforming is getting bigger and bigger the cpu becomes the bottleneck. I'am getting 100+ FPS in the outskirts, but as soon as i'am coming back to my big base its going down to 40-60 fps, while the load on the GPU ist going gown to 60% (from 90%-100%). That is also true for Pubg, where i sometimes get "only" 120 fps for a peroid of time. But: As more cores a game can use, the better will the game work with the CPU. In the end it depends on the optimization of the game.

[Vynski]

Well aware of that.  There are old games that do the same thing.  One in particular is C&C 3. As the colonies grow and increase in number the FPS drop quickly.  Crysis was another, similar what you described in Valheim.

I play mainly shooters and e-sports titles. Wouldn't be much of an issue for me.
