Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

You do me a favor? Can you test Cyberpunk 2077 in the tom's dinner area? It's the heaviest area in the game, I wanna see how zen 4 holds up. I know the 3d crumbles. If you want directions how to get there, just ask

My R5 7600 is close to 100% all around this area, poor thing! Tried the same area on my 13900k and I get 50% higher performance, so clearly this area really needs 8 cores minimum, 12 being preferable.

That said, the R5 is still smooth, no huge drops/stuttering, just a lower frame rate. I expected it to much more choppy and abrupt.

@Bencher can you share the settings? Want to see what a 13600k can do there

 

[Dave2150]

Scratch that. Tested a bit more, going into some of the buildings around Tom's Diner and I get horrible drops to 30, 40 FPS. GPU usage spiking lower as well, CPU just runs out of steam in this area.

It's a 40 to 80 hours game, but I don't see how that's relevant here

fair enough whatever floats your boat

I'm running 4k, DLSS quality, everything ultra including RT.

Be interesting to see what a 13600k with cheap z690 board and ddr4 can do here.

Ultra preset with rt, resolution and dlss dont really matter as long as you are not gpu bound.

 

[humbug]

So 6 cores not enough for gaming?

The 7950x doesnt fair much better though.

@LtMatt Can you test 4k, Ultra, RT on, on the door step of Tom's Diner please?

Or any other 7950X owner

I've managed to get a free key for it so I can give it go. I no longer have a 4090 though.

No AMD isn't good enough for cyberpunk, will give noticeable poor experience is what I'm reading here

1080p Ultra RT Preset. NO DLSS. You can see the GPU usage:

1080p Ultra RT Preset. Quality DLSS. You can see the GPU usage drop down as CPU takes over:

I walked around the square a few times and in either mode, my FPS doesn't dip below 100 ever even if I'm running vs walking.

 

[LtMatt]

I've never played this game, so I'll need some instructions to get to wherever I need to go.

I'll probably just put up a video to YouTube and record some footage.

@Bencher

Check this out, I found some settings I could copy from the video you posted and saw the guy's FPS:

Cyberpunk 2077 | RTX 4090 | Ryzen 9 7950X | RTX ON/OFF | DLSS | 4K - 1440p - 1080p | Ultra Settings

So I recorded a clip in the same area with the same setting ( I show my settings in the clip).

It's a massacre. You can see how under utilized his GPU is compared to mine. Clearly a CPU architecture bottleneck here.

Or, maybe It’s a game engine issue that the developers need to fix, I recall Witcher 3 being a bit odd with Ryzen too in Digital Foundries videos, that’s from the same developer as this. Generally CPU architectures don’t change because of one game engine.

Can you test at 4k ultra RT on (also on ultra)?

My monitor is an AW Ultrawide so can't do 4k and too lazy to hook upto the TV.

Spiderman RT behaves the same. It seems when there's a lot of RT computations thrashing the CPU, this gap shows up.

I've played Spiderman and had no issue with RT on at the highest settings? What happens exactly?

I'm very early into the story, you get a mission to meet "Takemura" in Tom's diner - that'll take you to the spot. Follow the main story if you want to get to that. Basically, a busy area where loads of NPC's are walking around and interacting.
