Don't you want your ram clocked up as fast as it can go for Ryzen chips? That's the only concern I see but I haven't kept up on things.

If you mean that thing where Rise of the Tomb Raider was running worse on amd cpus compared to intel cpus Crystal Dynamics just patched their game to fix that late last month. https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Rise-Tomb-Raider-Gets-Ryzen-Performance-Update Probably means developers are going to need to keep Ryzen in mind when making PC games in the future but it was totally fixable.

sincx posted:Isn't it because of the DRM? That was the initial thought but someone tried to optimize the game and found out it was an Arkham Knight situation all over again. The game constantly loads in, loads out, and then loads back in textures and other stuff causing a lot of driver overhead. It also isn't constrained by disk speed so a nvme ssd somehow exacerbates the problem? It's some dumb poo poo edit: https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/tag/sk_odyssey

I'm running into this with Hitman 2018 on some maps. Mumbai makes my 1080ti drop down to 20 or 30 fps sometimes at 1440p. Kind of sucks but there's nothing I can really do about it for now. Poor i5-3550 can only do so much.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:denuvo is a hell of a drug. It ended up not being Denuvo but just poo poo programming in general / Arkahm Knight's revenge in which it loads stuff in and out real aggressively and will do that at the speed of your hard disk so if you're on a ssd (or god forbid something stupid like raid 0 nvme ssds) it will create massive driver overhead crushing the cpu. edit: it doesn't want to leave textures loaded into vram because it's afraid you'll run out of vram so instead it just loads the sames textures into and out of vram thousands of times over the course of an hour. https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/tag/sk_odyssey

I was under the impression Origins was also as bad and was the source of all of the "wow look at how bad denuvo and this other drm on top of denuvo hammers the cpu" comments. I mean they've done two separate performance patches to odyssey since Kaldaien did that write up and did what he could for the game on his end. Latest one added weird microstutters for some people unless you lock the framerate in game with the in game tools (and it has to be locked below 60) though so like...I wouldn't put it past Ubi just being bad at patching poo poo

spasticColon posted:I'm so glad I have no desire to play any of those games because I'm still on a 2500k and waiting for Zen 2. I do want to play Cyberpunk 2077 when it finally comes out but I'll have a new system by then. I'm having troubles with Sekiro which is a game I didn't expect to have issues with due to my 1080ti but it's dropping frames since I'm on an i5-3550. It'll drop to around 50 fps in some situations. Any OBS software streaming drops it to 40ish fps most of the time and alt-tabbing while the game is running slows chrome down a lot. I'm very tempted to just drop $420-$450ish on a 2600x, mobo, and ram and reuse everything else but I'm still trying to wait for Zen2.

ufarn posted:Sekiro seems to have some issue with loading new map data or something. I don't recall FPS issues during fights, but it's very noticeable when you transition between areas. I don't know whether it's an issue on the CPU/GPU side, and it's not for lack of memory and SSD storage. I think it might have been Digital Foundry who also talked about it. Yeah I know about the stuttering issues. This was more "walk into the Bull bossfight and approach the bull before it breaks out and the framerate dropped to the 50s til most the physics objects are inactive. edit: I'm more making upgrade decisions on "Oh wow I finished it but Metro Exodus ran kinda bad sometimes even on the high preset even though it should run well on ultra with a 1080ti" and "...I guess I do want to play AC:O sometime" along with "wow BF1 ran like rear end a couple years ago but I guess I stopped caring about battlefield since none of my friends play it anymore so no big loss" edit 2: Though yeah at this point most games are still fine with the 3550.

Definitely glad about upgrading from a 1070 to a used 1080ti for $300ish after reselling the 1070 instead of waiting for the RTX cards. Though the 3550 held it back a lot in metro exodus/few other things wrt to low end framerate. Really hoping Zen2 is good.

Deuce posted:But my frames Generally NVENC loses less frames than CPU streaming would if your CPU is too weak for CPU streaming. 'course the downside is you need way more bitrate to make it look as good as cpu streaming (probably too much to stream it unless you're on at least 30 mbit up). NVENC has been improving each nvidia generation though. MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 20:48 on May 25, 2019 |

I picked up 2200mhz ram at some point but my i5-3550 still ends up having troubles when paired with a 1080ti on a couple games that really prefer more cores (hey metro exodus you kinda ran poorly at 1440p depending on what was going on even on medium sometimes) I finished the game anyway but am definitely feeling the CPU being old now on some things

I'll just add anecdotally that Hitman 2 had places in missions where it runs at like 30 fps on my 1080ti with an i5-3550 at 2560x1440 so like that game has some optimization issues on some maps. Mainly thinking of Mumbai and Sapienza though parts of Miami and a few others had drops too. Kinda wish those graphs had 1% frame rates and said which map because something like hawke bay averaged 120+ whule the ICA tutorial was more like 60-80.

Pretty sure I was on base the entire time so dunno what my dumb computer does. It's been awhile since I played the game though. Fell off sometime after the first elusive target Edit: unless that wasn't an option at all when the game launched and defaulted to higher than base. That could explain some of it. Sapienza still ran poorly in the town square/circle near the beach but whatever

On the other hand I don't know if I care that much to spend 9700k prices. Not like I'm going to stream poo poo and if I ever need to re encode stuff I have a haswell 4core Xeon in a nas thing.

Cross-Section posted:Any particular reason why an action so seemingly low-key as loading file thumbnails in Windows Explorer is making my 5900x shoot up to 75-80C but an actual CPU-intensive program like Assassin's Creed Vahalla only makes it go as high as (roughly) 70C? Probably PBO being PBO as similar sort of things happened with the Zen 2 chips back when the first came out/still happens with them at times I think? They'd ramp up at a drop of a hat at times which was normal behavior but people freaked out so an AGESA update changed things some.

Good to hear it works fine on a b450 tomahawk MAX. I feel tempted to upgrade my 3600 at some point too but I'd probably have to pull my whole motherboard out to put on an aftermarket cpu fan. Just been using the 3600's stock fan.

it could also just be a bad hdmi cable or a hdmi cable that's not able to maintain throughput over a long distance if you're going from PC to TV and there's a long distance between them (the cable is longer than 15-20 feet)

Stanley Pain posted:5800X3Ds can spike hot. Don't worry about it. Mine sure loves to do that. I've paired it with a noctua D12L and it likes to average/just hang out at the high 70s to 80 for BG3 set at 120fps when in conversations without undervolting. Haven't actually checked with doing that yet. I don't really understand how to use core cycler or other things to test an undervolt (and just setting it to -30 had it crash after a couple hours of ff14 so I turned that down to -15 for now. If it ever crashes again I'll just drop it to -10 or turn it off altogether.
