You buy 2080 class GPU and high end CPU to play on medium? And that's in 1080p, 1440p is the common resolution now. In case of Odyssey ultra high clouds kills GPU with no visible impact so they should turned down to high but aside that's how PC master race always rolled no? Give me ultra 60fps or nothing.
People buy hardware for the performance they wanna get. Everybody has different standards. There are people that buy 2x titan rtx cards for 4k 120 fps gaming. Others have 2080ti's that up the settings until it crumbles even under the 60 fps at 1080p resolutions. There is no one single person that does something in the PC department.
High clouds and GPU settings have nothing to do with CPU performance. And this is exactly the thinking what makes most benchmarks dog shit. Because they fail to actually benchmark CPU's itself.
What u call 60 fps ultra master race, others in the PC space find that peasant settings and performance.
The most common resolution and screens that are sold for PC are 1080p screens. Reasons for that high hz, requires less gpu performance and esports.
Also i got a 9900k 5.1ghz 32gb of 3600mhz ram and 1080ti 2050mhz and game at 1080p with reduced settings all day long to get stable 90+ fps. Everything under it feels janky.
You can notice the difference between 108 and 125fps?
The best my display can do is 120hz and anything above ~80fps looks and feels very similar to me. As long as it's stable and it's not jumping around between 60 to 125 and then back to 60 then I doubt many people would be able to look and/or play both side by side and say which is which.
Many people don't even know what a CPU is. Let alone what it does. That doesn't eliminate the fact that CPU performance is crucial towards stable performance. U can sit at 120 fps outside a city perfectly fine and then when u enter a city boom 50 fps. why? cpu bottleneck.
U should look at those ac origin and oc odyssey benchmarks ( i think df also did it ) with 1000 series ryzens and say well it needs to be optimized still a bit more because stutters and not being able to get 60 fps minimums.
Yea that's exactly what they told me 2009 when u shouldn't invest into a doulbe core / thread cpu because performance at the time was the same in every title, yet a year or two later more and more games didn't optimize for there 2 cores anymore and it was obviously clear they never would yet the higher core count had no issue's blasting through the content without effort. See how that works?
Want to see a 9900k get murdered?
Go play anno 1800 with a big city 30 fps lows
Play they are billions final wave at hardest difficulty 35 fps
Play any rts for that matter and make huge army's
play final fantasy 14 and walk into the biggest city area and see your frames disappear like thin air.
Go play ac odyssey, walk into a city after u roamed outside at 90+ fps u will see jumps straight back to low 60's.
Go play conan u will be lucky to hit a stable 30 fps at the end of a map.
Go play divinity 2 and start to rain some magic skills that deletes your CPU in seconds.
Play BDO and move into the main city.
etc etc.
See how those 150+ fps benchmarks are suddenly starting to look ridiculous.
Yet what are those benchmark clowns testing, metro exodus with raytracing on at 1440p ( look guys all cpu's are equal as fast ), then the next benchmark showcase you counterstrike at 400 fps vs 410 fps, see again guys no difference. Then lets make a average of 2 games benchmark, look 1 fps difference guys.. Because for some reason that makes total sense guys.
It's fucking laughable. Atleast DF tries now to actually move into the right direction with there testing. Even while there is still lots of improvement to be done with it.
Sounds more like DF being DF and less an AMD sucks issue:
Yea totally DF's fault that AMD hardware performs like a rollercoaster on different settings. Maybe AMD should get into contact with metro devs and iron those issue's out? oh wait they are already busy releasing their next product, get hyped guys. but what about my zen 1 cpu? what's zen 1 guys? did you know u could now buy zen 3 guys its totally awsome!!!!
DF picks dx12 because DX11 isnt'going to work well for them in comparisons vs intel. I would have benched that game on DX12 also to make a comprison between the two. So honestly hardly DF's fault.
