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

XTREEM ARGB DDR4 DESKTOP MEMORY BLUE 32GB(2x16GB) 3600MHz CL14 | TEAMGROUP

T-FORCE XTREEM ARGB DDR4 Gaming Memory is the first to feature full mirror reflection/light penetration/ARGB three major core technologies. Luminous memory with clean and sleek full mirror surface design.

This is the RAM I used with my 5800X3D.

Will test out that NUMA stuff tonight I managed to get a few more FPS by enabling the game bar - will try to remember to grab some new screenshots.

Damn, doesn't seem to be any CL14 stuff in the UK. Best I've been able to find is CL16.

Here's a 5700X3D result.

5700X3D - 3600 CL16 - RTX 3080

Thanks a lot for doing those!

So, in terms of overall, that gets you slot #48 but compared to other Zen3 CPUs it is pretty good:

So that's better than some 5800X3Ds even with similar memory. Not that far away from some of the non-3D Zen 4's (well we only have a few of those but 7600X and 7800X should hit around the 80% of max - where max is a moving target everytime someone scores higher than the previous highest!).

Anyway, for those on AM4 (like me) the 5700X3D seems like a good value upgrade for FO4 (and presumably Skyrim SE/AE).

While we wait for Zen 5 Ryzen (especially 9800X3D) and ADL results, I though I'd see how Fallout 2024 (v1.10.984.0) performs like vs previous (v1.10.163.0).
I recently updated to a used RX 6800 from my RTX 3050 which should see a bit of a regression here (but hey, 16GB vs 8GB is great for Skyrim modlists at 1440P with ones like Nolvus stating 12GB+ for 1440P).

Now, 55.9 / 57.9 is about 96.5% so a loss of 3.5% or so.

Would need a larger sample size and more CPUs to be give a more definite conclusion.

I still haven't benchmarked my 7800X3D because I am playing Fallout:London ATM.

Over on AT zoko having got 9800X3D results from Rath delivers again!

Vs the best Zen 4 3D that's about a 5% improvement at stock and 9% once overclocked.

Is anybody here able to challenge this here?

At those framerates, I wonder if the benchmark is hitting a GPU limit? Only way to tell would be if some bought a 4090 to go with their 9800X3D... Which is enough to buy a car.

The benchmark runs at 480P (hence the advice to turn down the desktop resolution so you can see what's going on) so it is as far removed from being GPU bound as is possible.

Which is not too say that ultra low resolution is the only way to benchmark CPU gaming performance as some graphic settings do increase CPU usage, and not just the obvious ones - like actor render distance in these Bethesda games - even some visual settings and certainly raytracing setup (think of current raytracing GPUs still being in the pre T&L GPU days).

Anyway for Fallout and Skyrim (and possible Starfield), this is as good as we can bench ATM.
