Possibly switching to Ryzen
I am upgrading my system and I'm thinking of switching to an AMD Ryzen setup cuz there seems to be allot more bang for the buck. However, it seems that some of the higher end Ryzens don't do so well with the single thread processing, like the Ryzen 9 3900X. Is this an issue with X4? Are there any compatibility issues with any of the Ryzen CPU's?

I have a 3600 and never ran into any issues with any game.

ryzen 2700x + vega64 + 16gb + M2 1To on ubuntu : runs great

runs great
at 30fps
the game isn't optimized yet.

I have a 3900x and I've seen it dip 20-30fps

the best cpu's in the world can't hit 60 all the time.

fps bottom left
this is the fastest cpu in the consumer world atm
running on the absolute lowest settings in game
and it's not even any combat scenes, this is just of static structures
it's beyond bad
the game needs to run 2-10x as fast, certain spots are beyond bad, like running on a station
note that upping the graphics, didn't lower the framerate. it's bad optimization and overworking the cpu

I built up a new pc recently, upgraded from a AMD FX-8370 8 core 4.2ghz, with 16gb of cas9 latency ram. up to now a Ryzen 5600X with 32 GB Corsair Vengeance. The difference is crazy. its a really optimised architecture in comparison. My heaviest game on CPU and Graphics is DCS World, and that was running good before, but you had a lot of latency switching between different aircraft for example. took maybe 2 seconds to load all the information up however now, its practically seamless. (my gpu is 1650 super which is perfectly fine for my 1080p)

That being said. The programming of a game as Blitz said, is the most important factor.

p.s. having an SSD or M.2 can make a bit difference in some games.

Yeah, after looking into it a bit more, I'm gonna go with a 5900X. And I run all my high end games on an SSD.
I am so ashamed of my i3770 16gig of ddr3 and a 1770 card, no probs, never get greedy with dare i say you people know.
And that is big shout to the people that developed This on the BBC. My hat is off thankyou.

I went from an older i5 to a 5900X late last year and am very pleased with the results. No issues at all. Don't skimp on the CPU cooler.

I have the 5800, can only recommend. Great CPU, but runs very hot, but it was made for it, so it's normal.

Get a good fan though.

Zen4, DDR5, and PCIe5 comes out starting between Sep-Nov. That's 2-4 months from right now!

Intel released the first DDR5 and PCIe5 cpu late last year.
This would be the first 5nm cpu.
It'd be the first DDR5 and PCIe5 for AMD CPU's.

Zen4 is 11% faster than Zen3, but that's per AMD. Still, 11% for a CPU is a lot.
We've been running on 7nm since July 2020.
DDR5 is 50% faster ON PAPER than DDR4 and over the years will wind up hitting 165% faster than DDR4, and should just require a new bios and swapping out ram sticks to benefit.

DDR5 released in 2021. DDR4 released in 2014. DDR3 released in 2007. I got a PC in 2014 and just missed DDR4 by 2 months. Now DDR3 vs DDR4 if you look at benchmarks on youtube of games, there's minimal difference HOWEVER, you can tell many of these videos are biased as the GPU is bottlenecked and little of these tests use games that are cpu capped like dwarf fortress or X4.

My suggestion would be. Hold till November, grab the best zen4 gaming cpu amd drops. grab a brand new and popular asus motherboard, like the tuf series. use your old DDR4 sticks in that mobo. Over time the DDR5 prices will come down and at that point, you can decide if it's worth getting DDR5.

Regarding PCIe5. 2000 nvidia gpu's are PCIe3. 3000 nvidia gpu's are PCIe4.
4000 nvidia gpu's are rumored to use PCIe5. So use your old gpu and wait until the 4000 series come out, which should be later this year as well.

EDIT: Nevermind. zen4 will only allow ddr5. that means, they're all in and the gains must be substantial. but the market, isn't there yet and might not be for another year. so it likely will be a lot longer than November to get a full system.

EDIT2: Nevermind. I say it's worth it. after looking at prices for DDR5 2x8GB sticks, you can find speeds at like 4800 ($100 for 2x8GB sticks), that are comparable to DDR4 3600 prices. This lets you upgrade to DDR5 much later on, if benchmarks show that the price/performance is worth it. It gives you PCIe5 and possibly a bigger & smarter L3,L2,L1 cache for games, plus whatever other benefits zen4 gives for games. The 5800X3D is 4.5GHz max. What if zen4 does 5GHz ??

i hope these new cpu's have a faster single core speed, the best i've seen is 3.9Ghz and that's 0.4Ghz slower than my i7 7700k. some older 32bit games need those higher single core speeds to get the most out of them, so if this 11% increase puts those core speeds deep in the 4Ghz range, then it will be a complete upgrade in every way over the i7 7700k and it really would be a really attractive upgrade.

but alas, for now i don't have the money to throw at an upgrade. assuming this situation in the uk comes to an end by early next year, i could probably get something together the middle of next year.
Make sure you're using Ryzen Balanced Power profile, the optimal choice for Zen2+
If you use High Performance, that reduces the performance of Zen2+

If you really want to get into it, there's a way to program your own custom power profile, it's considered a safe overclock, done by auto-testing your cpu with this tool.

benchmark of 5800x3d
I believe total war would be the closest in terms of a 3d game sim to compare. I do wish there was a 10% min instead of 0.1% min as 0.1% is unrealistic. so I look at the 1% min when comparing if 10% min is absent.

If X4 doesn't, it would be nice if there was a benchmark in various scenarios. One day it might get picked up by these reviewers if so.

Interesting how the 5800x is faster than the 5800x3d, but the latter has a bigger cache and thus more performance. 4.4GHz 5800x3d outperforming the 5.2ghz i9-12900k by over 8%.

Edit: to illustrate why 1% low is bad and 0.1% low is worse. if you're hitting 167.2 fps at 1% min. They're probably taking the lowest 2 framerate timeings over the span of a second. 2 framerate timings at 167.2 fps is about 11 milliseconds.

The human eye can't detect motion for at least 15 milliseconds, more realisticly 20 milliseconds. Thus 1% is too low, 2% is better at that speed, but just a 1% and a 10% for consistency would be cool. To me you want a 16.67ms total, then something like a 5% fps minimum and the overall avg fps. Teh 16.67ms totalwould list the number of frames that were under 16.67ms aka 60fps.

but that video I showed. that was literally a 5800x3d. it shows the game running at 9fps when walking on stations and sub 30fps when flying. using low settings.

game runs pretty bad, i have another cpu heavy game which uses all cores and runs fine. x4 foundation sadly only seems to use 2 main cores for spedified things..if the game uses all your cpu cores it will run fine but that simply wont happen, i had read about that on somewhere outside of steam. if i am not wrong it was even a mod from egosoft which told that btw.

as for me the game does run good compared to other Intel/Amd CPU´s. i do even not having issues like other with SINZA/SETA activated.

but in my endgame of over 450 hour.. wars a a daily thing to see and my cpu cant handle so many station/ships etc anymore. but 30 FPS with so many things is still good.. war at about 20 FPS with over like 100-200 S/M and a few K/I and Station while attacking them with a secondary fleet of mine with about 30-50 Destoyers to do what i cant do when attacking with my 2 modded Rattlesnacks.
