Evening all,
Thought I'd share a simple comparison for you showing the difference in performance I got when upgrading from 2013's A8 APU to 2018's R5 2600x. This is what you get when skipping forward 5 years!
A8 6600k = avg. FPS: 73.8 (Score:3089)
R5 2600x = avg. FPS: 93.3 (Score:3903)
A 20 fps increase!
Now then, is this solely due to the APU bottlenecking the 970, or something else like doubling the RAM in this new rig?
Used Unigine Valley benchmark test at 1080p Ultra quality with AAx2 on both rigs.
Old rig: A8 6600k APU @ 4400MHz (OC'd) + 8GB DDR3 @ 1800MHz with a GTX 970 (overclocked +145MHz core +400 mem)
New rig: Ryzen 2600x + 16GB DDR4 @ 3000MHz with the same GTX 970 (overclocked +145MHz core +400 mem)
