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

LtMatt · 25 May 2022 at 16:21

Am planning to test this, not got time at the moment but I will get round to it eventually.

Turns out i wasnt on latest Bios, i updated on the x3d launch in anticipation of my purchase but there has since been a new version released.

retested on the latest bios and it gave me slightly better scores,

Corvega gives me 84.6 at 11711 draw calls
Diamons city gives me 98.9 at 8000 draw calls on the dot

still the lowest score of the bunch but its still a slight bump, always check the Bios

Here's some scores from a buddy "matique" from our oc group. 12900k. 3090 FE. I'm happy to be beaten by him!

Well, that's definitely the top score so far:

Still, I'd rather suspect your 12600K rig was a bit cheaper!

I suspect the reason why the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is underperforming with an RX5700XT is down to the game prefering Nvidia dGPUs and increased AMD driver overhead. Also look at the Ryzen 7 5800X and RX6800XT results compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D results and the RX5700XT numbers. There is about a 21% to 22% increase in performance using a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a much slower dGPU. I will add some results with an RX5600XT with my Ryzen 7 5700X and see how it performs. Then hopefully I can do the same with a Core i5 10400.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 27 May 2022 at 18:43

Ok,benchmarked game with an RX5600XT. I used the latest supported driver.

I used an average of three results for each scene.

Corvega=61.33FPS(11709 Drawcalls)
Diamond City=75.67FPS(8022.67 Drawcalls)

At some point might try the Core i5 10400 with the GTX960 4GB and RX5600XT to get some more data for the table.

So with the rest of your system being the constant, your two Ryzen 7 5700X results do vary by around 13% or so:

meaning your two R7-5700X entries on the leaderboard have a few gaps of other scores in-between:

@Robert896r1 Thanks!
Here is your score in the leaderboard at #4:

As CAT said, the mixed drawcall and NPC save is where Zen3 3D cache cannot match Alder Lake.

LtMatt · 31 May 2022 at 18:40

Fallout 4 has always favoured green and their DX11 driver.

I have a spare key for this if anyone wants one as I mistakenly bought two. I also can't remember which one I used, so I'll post both and whoever gets to them first, one of them should work on steam. :cry:

You are welcome.

Hi folks. Trying to run this now, but I seem to be getting higher FPS than everyone else so wondering if I am doing anything wrong?

Do i need to change resolution, or can i just follow the instructions in the OP and use the default settings as chosen by the ini files? That's what I've done below but this methodology for benchmarking seems a little odd to me.

Also I tried to copy the exact area where some results were submitted, but my draw calls were way lower than the amount you need to take the result, so I had to position the camera in a different spot to get the desired number of draw calls. See my example below.

Here's the highest draw calls I could get in this area where trying to position the camera in a similar area to others.

Second area - I can't even get over 3900 draw calls, and getting 3850+ is almost impossible.

Am I doing something wrong? I was under the impression you take a screenshot once you have the desired number of draw calls on screen.

LtMatt · 1 Jun 2022 at 07:28

Some more scores, can probably improve on these if I push past my current overclock settings (shown in spoiler below).

Can't get anywhere near the required draw calls, guess it's an AMD driver thing in this game, so I just tried to get as high a draw call count as I could in the same areas as others took screenshots of.

@LtMatt your settings are off. You need to follow the instructions step by step or it’s easy to get diff numbers. The screenshots in the posts is exactly how it should look.

I've followed the instructions in the OP, swapped the files over where required. Can you tell me what is wrong exactly?

Resolution was default, which was 1080P. Should it be lower?

Robert896r1 · 1 Jun 2022 at 07:35

Yeah the ini’s and the tweaks set all that. You should not need go into any of the game options to tweak anything.

I cant tell you what went wrong precisely but everything is controlled via the ini’s and tweaks mentioned.

Okay, well I've not changed anything. But it looks like you guys are all running really low resolution whereas I'm running default which the game selected as 1080P.

I'll try and redo all the steps to see if I missed anything.

KompuKare · 1 Jun 2022 at 08:43

Yes, the benchmark resolution should be 480P windowed. The only thing some of us had to change was our desktop resolution so we could see something; yes eventually we took a screenshot but the save does not point to the correct place to get the 11,700 or 8,000 drawcalls so some moving of the camera (but not the character) is required - which is hard to do precisely in a 480P window in a 1440P or higher monitor. The various screenshots through should give you a hint of the angle the camera needs to be.
You are doing the change the GPU in the ini step, right? Because in the attempt on an Oblivion benchmark over on AT (next to no takers), that part wasn't in the instructions and missing it forces the launcher to re-detect and hence change resolution.

EDIT: added the bit in italics

LtMatt · 1 Jun 2022 at 10:02

Sorry guys you were right I didn't have it setup right. I redid everything and now it looks all low resolution like yours.

I initially ran it using the 6900 XT and got bad results, switched to the 3090 and results improved significantly.

5800X3D @100.8 BCLK
2x16GB Trident Royal 4400Mhz CL17 running at 14-15-12-14-40
3090 FE
512.95
Aida 64 NS 54.2

I can most likely improve on these scores, so I may well run this again in the future depending on how my overclock tuning goes.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 1 Jun 2022 at 10:22

If you can run the RX6900XT also,even if the score is lower it doesn't matter because if it improves over the RX5700XT score,you could have the highest AMD score. Also thanks for going to the effort - must be a PITA to take out all these cards!

Robert896r1 · 1 Jun 2022 at 10:22

No offense @LtMatt but your scores don't line up with any of the x3d results. Nothing you're doing tuning wise is wildly beyond the capability of the chip limits.
