Was going to post this on the ETA thread but figured anyone stalking that thread would probably see this, I know I would have and wanted to hear someone's results.
Upgraded from a 9900k / 3600Mhz DDR4 RAM to the 9800x3d / 6000Mhz DDR5 RAM. Recently upgraded from a 3070 to a 7900 XTX too. First real "new build" since probably around 2010 maybe even before because the only things remaining in my system now are 2 MX500's that I hid round the back, no longer have any mechanical drives, even got a new case.
Anyway, I did a bunch of "benchmarks" prior to the upgrade, nothing entirely strict beyond making sure to reload the game between runs after changes, nothing in the background that wouldn't normally be there like Discord and steam, no chrome though, everything I benchmarked, if I could run at the highest settings with a preset ingame then that's just what I did, with a few caveats mentioned below. In hindsight, some presets with "high" would have probably been a more accurate representation of how I'd likely run the game as I've always found Ultra has that one or two settings that just tanks the FPS for no reason like it's PhysX coming out all over again.
Used a spreadsheet formula for the percentages, consider this the lazy mans benchmarking so if those are wrong...
Below in the table is the CPU + 7900 XTX combo. Set the ram to it's proper speed, updated the bios but didn't overclock anything just left it all stock.
(I did do a forum table but it didn't like it, have a screenshot instead)
I did also do a BL3 run on medium with my 3070/9900k combo and that was 158fps for reference.
The Tarkov streets with AI I'd take with a pinch of salt, on the 9900k I was getting anywhere from below 30fps to just over 40, I definitely saw a 29 when I was running around, it was awful. On the 9800x3d I was getting over 90, sometimes touching on 100 but it wasn't consistent enough and I did the test in different places which makes a difference on that map.
I also did a streets scav run on Tarkov and stood at the cinema and looked across towards Lexos and was sitting on 100+ fps, however as it's a "real raid / online" it's very chunky in places with some awful rubber banding so while its definitely more playable it's not a smooth expierence but it wasn't like this last patch so hopefully it gets sorted.
There really isn't any games with great benchmarks you can just fire and forget for stuff lately and anything worth running through you need to follow a set path each time and I didn't want to go that into it but see more of a general improvement and I got the feeling across the board is was probably around 30-40% realistically from other games I jumped into and other tests that I didn't record and even tarkov at points was hitting 90%+ GPU usage.
Curious to see if anyone else has done similar here.
