I5 VS i7 ACC VR

Good hint for this thread. I have high hopes in that optimization. At the moment, the AI rendering takes a CPU toll much, much higher than the AI physics. I hope they are tackling that issue. Our CPUs will all be able to cope much better with ACC, then and many upgrade plans will become unnecessary.

 

And now a sneak-peek for you guys on the forum, because the changelog will be rich of exciting topics, let us whisper: Radar, Camera Features, CPU Optimisations, Weather updates and some more. We can’t wait to release what we have in store for you.

 

Ryzen 2600 or i5 9400f for best performance?

 

9400f out of those two but have a look around if buying nowish as there’s some crazy amazon prime sales along with sales from others right now.

For what it's worth without supplying benchmarks - here is what you can expect from the system in my sig:

- my system is completely limited by the single NVIDIA GPU (mildly overclocked Asus 1080Ti) - the GPU is almost constantly above ~85% load, often at 99% load
- none of the CPU cores (N O N E) has ever a load above ~30% - this CPU is absolutely lounging on the deck with cocktails in hand

READ: you likely see a nice bump in performance when upgrading your GPU vs your CPU (if your RAM is of the same speed as mine that is

Here is a few more specs they may be of help.

With this system I have with mixed graphics settings in ACC (a couple key setting at epic and a mix of high and medium settings while I keep a couple of key settings at lowest (like volumetric particles which seems somehow REALLY a performance killer).
There are some settings I just cannot live without on Epic (like shadows or mirror settings) and others I don't care much about (like foliage) and others I would never ever set any lower than max (like textures and visibility distances).

I run triple screens 1080 @60Hz and get currently (v1.0.6) always nice, smooth frames above 60FPS (~70 - 80 FPS).
I run 1.20x upsampling and 0.6 Panini PP (because of triple) which is a REAL performance killer.

With the CPU I am running, ACC is clearly limited by the GPU (and it really isn't a slow GPU either).
You want the absolute best GPU you can get your hands on with ACC if running VR or high res 2D (4K+ or triple screens of any kind).

 

No, RAM specs are for double data rate. 2133 is 1066x2.
