Mahatma Gandhi 29 Posted April 13, 2017 @ Brisse You mentioned that you've got DualRank 2667MHz RAMs working in a 4 Modules configuration. There's a German computer magazine that that tested SingleRank vs. DualRank on a Ryzen build and it turns out that DualRank is actually substantially faster than SingleRank at same clock speeds. Maybe Google can help you translating it. http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Ryzen-5-1600X-CPU-265842/Tests/R5-1500X-Review-Mainstream-1225280/3/#a2 Maybe your Modules are what is the sweetspot of Ryzen afterall ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted April 13, 2017 it's highly recommended to pair Ryzen R5 and R7 CPus with fastest possible memory (both latency and frequency) the benefits of fastest RAM are way higher than with Intel CPUs also Ryzen loves overclock , the faster the CPU then in compare with Intel the cache operations are way faster of course in both cases you limited by Chipset and bios/firmware ...

Mahatma Gandhi 29 Posted April 14, 2017 @Brisse I can confirm your results. The Creators Update gave another ~9% in ArmA3 on my Ryzen build. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad very sad see the actual Arma 3 devs making excuses but for JETS DLC I need to render at minimum distance of 3km to see the entire surrounds and targets, I'm not gonna pay for jets if I cant see the targets while flying.

oldbear 390 Posted April 16, 2017 @ djotacon : many different aspects of the "nude" reality. From the very start, I mean Operation Flashpoint [now ARMA : Cold War Assault] in 2001, this game was an infantry simulation game and even if flying assets were present in it's genes it has never pretend to be a kind of flying simulator. The flying model for airplanes is still over simplified and not a match for a military flying simulator game such as DCS. You can have fun in a plane, but you will need to play Arma* on the ground (or nearby in a chopper). Arma 3 devs are not making excuses, they are just stating a fact. The situation is a bit like it was some time ago with Haswell-E & LGA 2011-v3 vs Haswell & LGA 1150. Source : http://www.hardware.fr/articles/924-1/intel-haswell-e-lga-2011-v3-ddr4-core-i7-5960x-5930k-5820k.html AMD Ryzen platform needs still a lot of improvements as all new architecture. It seems better built than the previous Buldozer one so there is hope. We will have to wait for some more months or perhaps Zen2 next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not gonna repeat myself entering in a new idiotic "flamebait" about a programmer can do or not can do or arguing about benmarks from 2014, we are now in the year 2017 and there's no bigger fps improvents over AMD platform right now.

oldbear 390 Posted April 16, 2017 No flame-baiting here, it's a well know fact you can get from every seasoned Arma* players, this game is CPU dependent. It means that it needs a very efficient fast processor in order to shine. From it's origins as a single core, single thread game a long time ago it still depends hugely on performances on a limited number of threads. Even if it has gone the multi-threading way some time ago, the single core ADN is still present. From the start, let's remember the New Horizon Event, AMD demonstrates Ryzen performance showing a Ryzen 8-core against an 8-core Intel Core i7-6900K. Results were astonishing and a great new for PC user, competition was back ! But comparisons were never made with high end Intel CPUs for a reason. source : http://www.hardware.fr/articles/956-22/indices-performance.html We will see, as it seems to be the trend, with Ryzen platform upgrades and enhancements, if the R5 cluster can compete with the i5 gang. An interesting and in fact thrilling prospect At the moment a R7 RyZen just out of the box seems not to be the right tool to play Arma3 at the highest level. Nothing Arma3 Devs can patch so far, just enjoy the incredible job they have done to make the game working as it is ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwarden 1125 Posted April 16, 2017 in the R5 vs i5 battle , if it's about new computer then 9 of 10 has no reason to buy Intel anymore ... R5 especially the 6/12 and 4/8 models are performance per buck beyond i5 4/4 the R5 with 4/4 is considerably cheaper too while the performance for single-thread isn't spectacular it's still fine considering the price AMD did quite ok , sure it's not crushing Intel by far but it's enough to offer more future oriented product on lower price R3 will be very interesting offering for media,video and inexpensive tasks i wish the AMD Thread Ripper CPUs (10/20, 12/24, 14/28, 16/32) appear sooner too (Intel moved theirs HEDT line release ahead) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're into Arma, and I'm pretty sure most people reading this are, then Ryzen is not a sensible buy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is your current rig? 'Than ever before'? I've got a q6600 in the drawer here. I'm sure if I were to go from that to any Ryzen, I'd see 'better framerates than ever before'. I'm not entirely sure why my rig is relevant, but it's an i7 4790 @ 4.6 with 16GB of half decent RAM (I'm not at home and can't remember it's exact designation) and a really sexy Intel PIC-E SSD 750 series. The GPU is a GTX 970, but that's going soon as it doesn't drive my big monitor very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Ryzen is not a good buy, an i5 is even worse. So why do you think this is not a sensible buy? If you compare performance of Intel CPU with AMD Ryzen of comparable price then Intel will deliver better performance in gaming, especially in Arma 3: @ $250 = i5-7600K vs 1600X @ $350 = i7-7700K vs 1700X This is simply due to Intel's faster clock speeds and higher IPC. However if you compare performance beyond gaming, where multi-threaded applications are more common, then AMD Ryzen is better value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
