Interesting Specs

[Hail The Brain Slug]

Fallout 4 loves high IPC, uncore, and memory frequency. 6700K/7700K CPUs overclocked with fast memory (3600Mhz+) will walk all over HEDT in this game. Anyway, I'm pretty excited for the official texture pack... It's just too bad I already played through the game.

So you're saying with a 6700k and a 5960x at the same core, cache, and memory clockspeed, the 6700k will walk all over the 5960x? I seem to recall a certain foreign review site showing FO4 favored as many as 6c/12t, but they never tested 8c/16t.

Yes, we tested this over on the CPU forum. I'm not sure what thread it was in, but there were a handful of people that submitted their results and the 6700K OC was faster than HEDT. This was testing a very CPU limited area in Boston common.

I found the thread here. The results do look interesting but it's too bad there isn't a more direct comparison done (Such as HW-E or BW-E with same core, cache, and memory speeds compared to a 6700k).

Even the article the thread was about didn't specify if they modified cache speed (Makes me think they did not) and they used different clock speeds and memory speeds across the lineup. Not exactly a good platform/architecture isolated test.

No that wasn't the right thread. I'll look for it when I get the chance.

Not sure as to what level of relevance this sub holds kokatu to in the PC space but this is an interesting spec requirement for fo4 texture pack upgrade. https://kotaku.com/youll-need-a-powerful-pc-to-pull-off-fallout-4s-hi-rez-1791777510

Ya looks decent, but why is the barrel of his gun in the second photo solid....................
