With how bloated Bethesda's games are, and mods, having lots of RAM is a good idea for doing a RAMDisk. Especially with loose files. And thanks to Windows' junctions, it's trivial to put files on a RAMDisk. For optimal specs, it's a 3D Ryzen CPU, and the fastest RAM you can get as per the...

Draw calls are an entirely CPU based task. Memory can have an effect when the cache is full, as instructions and small pieces of data are chucked into memory. Which is why we see 5800x3D and the 7000x 3D CPUs doing so well. Just use the included settings, and your GPU won't affect much at all...

Aye the forum is really awful. I get the anti-spam lockouts too. I'll just touch on this: Actually loose files make it much, much worse. As each loose file is an I/O read, and only Optane drives are able to handle multiple file reads without a big increase in latency & drop in read speeds...

This is good stuff. The reason for picking Corvega for draw calls, and Diamond City as another scene to test, is mainly because it's consistent. With settlements, all sorts of things can affect performance. Lots of small items inside one of the static buildings? They'll get culled unless you...

Here are my results CPU - Ryzen 9 5800X3D, stock RAM - 2x16GB DDR4 3600Mhz CL16-20-20-46 (Stock Kingston Fury Renegade @3600Mhz) GPU - AMD Vega 56 Modded - 35-37 (3 seconds in it's at 36, after that flunctuates between 35-37 fps) Unmodded (still has ini edits) - 47-50 (3 seconds in, it's at...

And then we have to supply the ini edits as well. I'll think of something, as it would be great to see what can (or can not) be done for performance

Bit of a necro, but hey. It's been real interesting reading the posts my old tests spawned. Now, about Oblivion performance... There's a bunch of things at play, with there being not much difference between CPU architectures. It's from 2006, and the latest SIMD instruction during it's release...

He didn't tell me what speeds he was running, and he didn't want to test out how it performs with the driver thread on another CCX. So if we got any other Ryzen users here, still a bit needs testing. Also Zen+. I wanna see how that fits in.

A user on Reddit game me his results for Zen 2 and Zen 3, so I've updated the main post. Zen 3 puts AMD just ahead of Skylake's draw call performance.

- Run the game in exclusive full screen, this increases draw call performance by a couple percentage points - Set the process priority to high, also increases draw call performance by a couple percentage points - If you have a large number of cores (>2 for Oblivion, >4 for Fallout New Vegas &...

I know that Americans have a habit of interfering with the politics of left wing countries, but this level of projection is off the charts. You deny that the Democrats voted for giving the US military a pay-rise of 750 billion? Pray tell, which party did you vote for? I'm going to hazard a...

Article: https://www.businessinsider.com/democrats-gave-trump-everything-he-wants-738-billion-defense-bill-2019-12?r=US&IR=T As we can see from actual policy, versus the typical liberal PR speak, there's no meaningful difference between Democrats and Republicans. And, in this specific...

Pure single thread performance is not the sole metric to go for. The Cell's SPUs are vector units, essentially dedicated AVX cores. They work great at crunching floats, but good luck making the workloads threadsafe. Then there's the whole draw call performance thing. Consoles have had APIs as...

Dude asked how to fix his old CPU. He didn't ask for an upgrade. If it was completely dead, sure, say that it's dead and he has no other choice but to buy a new proc. But that's not the case, as far as we know. Giving an irrelevant answer to a question is worthless.

The answer to fixing something isn't to buy a new thing, unless it's completely broken.
