i am trying to get me head around whether i should manually overclock or use precision boost on my 2700.
the strange thing i have tried an OC to 3.7 and in heaven that gives me a higher score than stock but the actual maximum boost i then get according to HW monitor is 3.8 (thats on all cores)
However in assassins creed odyssey i get a higher frame rate and a higher lowest frame rate when running the CPU at stock rather than at OC - then i get a maximum boost rate of 4.1 on some cores (according to H/w monitor)
from what i have seen PBO only applies to x cards - is that right.
in fact as i game at 4k i wonder whether its actually worth running a overclock at all
In assassins creed odysey my highest bench was running at 3.7 but using AMD master game mode which i understand cuts the core count in half.
