Cooler temps today

Crap, do not upgrade to the newest patch. Drm is apoarently back, lost 27fps :/

Just roll back to 449 ,that's what I did.
Also got win11 bench , 256 vs win10 253.

 

[mrthanhnguyen]

How to roll back?

How to roll back?

Go to properties , of the the game in steam, go to beta, stroll down 449 , check code , will patch back , that's it

 

[mrthanhnguyen]

What code?

 

[harm9963]

ok

Hi Window$ Lads,

Something different for you Windower$ to geez at...

Linux box here:

• Ubuntu 20.04 on linux kernel 5.13.19
• On-the-fly Feral propriety Vulkan translation over DX12 (So Vulkan translation overhead)
• Open Source Mesa drivers using RADV for Vulkan (This runs faster than AMD's own propriety drivers!) Basically what Valve will be using in there Steam Deck.
• VSYNC off
• AMD FidelityFX on max
• SMAAT2x AA
• Highest Graphics settings for everything (well whatever is available on linux)
• 6900xt Liquid Devil Ultimate stock
• Ryzen 5800 all core OC at 4.6GHz
• Test on 1080p and 1440p

Underneath you will note that at 1080p, the GPU is only 51% bound! That's with Vsync off. So CPU bottleneck here. Added DX12 to Vulkan translation perhaps limiting max if this was instead a Vulkan native.
With 1440p the GPU is 97% bound!

However all that said, the age of Linux gaming is WELL and TRULY HERE and has ARRIVED! basically anything over 60 FPS is good! You can arguably play almost every single game from DX9-12 with ease due to Vulkan on the fly translation either through Proton on Steam, DXVK, or propriety ones like from Feral or Aspyr.

So for those that want to bugger off Window$, now's the time if only games are what's holding you back!

Linux got potential. It's less complex than Windows and Vulkan is usually superior to DX performancewise

Nice, could you please upload one result with 1080p Lowest preset, since that the theme of this thread? Thx

 

[Det0x]

And the fight is ON!

Last benchmarks from me in a while, going on holiday for a few weeks

New SotTR run and more gamebenches @

https://imgur.com/a/RwxpB0T

(the 490 average fps f1 2020 is also decent)

Also recorded the 353 average fps run

 

[Felix123BU]

Win 11 update dropped, fixing the L3 cache bug, and whoops....

That being with a 4.85 Ghz all core OC, with PBO only 290fps. Not bad for one Win update, plus 17Fps here

 

[phanbuey]

Might have to pick up a used 5xxx chip once they start dropping in price -- so much headroom in these.

I can get my 10850K to like ~152-160 CPU Game min FPS and that's pretty much the max.

Nice. What patch is this on? I tried rollback to the 445 beta I think it was but avg fps sits around 245-250 and not 260-265 like I had on the previous official patch. The patch that came yesyerday dropoed fps to 237.

You want 449

 

[Cowboystrekk]

Okay, I'll try that

Here you go, lowest settings everything off,...

It barely used the GPU at 12% bound!

That's really good, practically same as my 5800x on Windows, pity that Linux is still a giant pain in the ass for the normal user, not talking about techy people

I think it is more about habit and custom. My retired oldies are 70+ each and have only ever used Ubuntu for the last 8 years.

That said they only do use the Browser for Facebook, Zoom to family, and LibreOffice for the odd document every now and then.

My 5 year old son has only ever known Ubuntu, Xubuntu, MacOS and iPadOS. He has never seen Windows! His favourite toy is Dolphin Wii Emulator (Kirby and Mario games). And he knows how to get them all working. So for my Oldies and my son, going to Windows will probably be the opposite of what most of the gen x-y people feel when they load up a linux distro. I myself sometimes struggle with Windows when I do have to dabble with it sometimes for work (some customers). But lucky enough most of my customers use linux in their servers.

My first go at the CPU side of this benchmark. Only a 9700f. B360 Mobo so not worth the K sku and stuck to 2666 CL13 DDR4 only as well.

Lowest settings, everything off. Still 41% GPU bound, I expected better and when you look at Afterburner, it seems way more GPU bound than that with GPU at 94-97% pretty much the whole time.

If you want to really push the CPU only, turn on AMD FidelityFX CAS and slide the Resolution Modifier bar to the left.

Actually my bad, I don't think it made much of a difference with or without FidelityFX when it comes to CPU usage! All it did turning it on was use the GPU 3x more! Makes sense logically since FidelityFX is for the most part processed in GPU.

Turning 'off' FidelityFX CAS brought it to 4% GPU bound (image below)!

With FidelityFX CAS 'on' it was 12% GPU bound (screenshot in one of my previous post above https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...ame-benchmark-discussions.280562/post-4632926). But CPU stats are roughly the same.

You can easily boost fps by 5-10% by timingstweaking even if stuck at 2666. Do you know what ram-die you have? I have a i5 8400 with crappy Hynix AFR running 2666 13-16-16. Set volt to 1.4V. If you have Micron E/H or Hynix C/D/J I bet you can run 12-14-14 and Try getting tRFC down, get trrds and l to 4/4 or 4/6, tfaw to 16, twr to 12 or 10 and trtp half of that. Trefi as close to 65k as possible. If you have Hynix A/C/D/J try trfc 304, 312 or 320, if Micron try 384, 392 or 400. If you have Micron B 8gb try 256, 264 or 272 or Hynix A you can try 272, 280 or 288.

Undervolting you CPU will probably make it run allcore faster since you free up more pwr-budget. Try offset og -50 on cache and core, they might do a lot more. My 8400 do - 120 core - 160 cache.

GTX 1080 still gets the job done pretty well, its a smooth ride @1440p ULTRA settings that I run when not benchmarking... here's my score, running the new released Definitive Editon of SOTTR on Win11

Yup, anything close to a Gtx 1080 in todays crazy market is a keeper

 

[OICU812]

I'm trying use use SOTTR demo as a benchmark for RAM tuning / PBO tuning, but it has not been consistent for me. Is this demo version behavior, or does the full version do this too? No changes between runs, one after another showing 15fps difference between the two. 5800x - CH7 VII - 2x16gb 3800CL14

Run 1
