Fallout 4 CPU benchmark thread(need some Zen3 and Zen4 results!)

A final two from me.

First I want to bring in the rear by running it on my old machine:
OS Windows 10 x64 21H2
CPU i5-3570K @ 3.40 GHz (stock)
RAM 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 10-10-10-27-41-2T
GPU Radeon 470 4GB (stock)
GPU driver 22.1.2
ENB Version V0.468
Save 1 Drawcalls 11,713
Save 1 FPS 33.1
Save 2 Drawcalls 8,006
Save 2 FPS 37.8
This was a bit less consistent than any of my previous runs to so I ran 3 times and averaged it.

And then since I had benched with an older ENB, I re-benched v0.461 vs v0.468 with my CPU locked to 4.1GHz:
OS Windows 10 x64 21
CPU Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.1G
RAM 2 x 32 DDR4 3200 16-20-20-39-74
GPU GeForce 3050 8
GPU driver 511.
ENB Version V0.461 and V0.468
Save 1 Drawcalls 11,716 and 11,743
Save 1 FPS 55.6 and 52.0
Save 2 Drawcalls 8,040 and 8,071
Save 2 FPS 68.4 and 62.5
Looks like for me v0.468 is slower, but I didn't run many times to get an average.

Anyway, I've done a simple leader board for the results so far (for those who submitted multiple results I only took their best):

The R's are in the lead.
The two 12600K's clocks aren't that far apart (5.6%) but the scores are way beyond that (+22% for Robert896r1).

Well, Fallout4 (and Skyrim etc.) is pretty heavy on memory speeds and while @RavenXXX2's DDR4-3800 CL16 is pretty good, @Robert896r1's DDR4-4166 CL15 is pretty unbeatable.

(Speaking of memory timing, I did play with setting DDR4-3600 on mine but wasn't willing to raise voltages so didn't get anywhere with that.)

It's a shame as I personally like comparing unique use cases than something vanilla like CB etc.

Same here,and testing an older game which is still played by a decent amount of people,and is not tested in modern reviews is actually a useful data-point. It's also a game which loves faster RAM with tighter memory timings.

It will be interesting to see how this fares with Raptor Lake and Zen4 once we get better DDR5 RAM kits!

I would test my other SFF rig which has a Core i5 10400F and RAM running at 2666MHZ,but it would involve taking apart two SFF PCs. Might try and put Windows on the other system and doing a test but only has a GTX960 4GB in it!

Interesting the ENB seems to be making such a big difference! The RAM speed and tighter timings really show how much Fallout 4 loves decent RAM.

Even years ago it was one of the best games to test the effects of RAM on.

Yes, wasn't sure if that was just noise but did some averages. After 5 runs of both v0.461 and v0.468 I can say... Well the older is slightly faster.

and as a rough idea of variance I used the stddev function too although I wouldn't put too much into that as it mainly shows that hitting 11,700 and 8,000 is not easy. Still 51.3/49.2 is 4.4% and 58.6/55.8 is 5.1% so there is something there.

I wonder why this is the case?
