HOI4 performance on Ryzen

[SpiceHammer]

Does anybody run HOI4 on Ryzen and can share his performance? I want to upgrade my old FX6300 but I can't decide which one to buy: Ryzen 5 1500x or i5 7500.

I recently upgraded to Ryzen 1600 from a FX6200, and performance gain was very noticeable when it came to late game around 1944 and beyond. I don't have specific numbers for you but I could find out

Dont make PC upgrade decision based on a single game you play this ♥♥♥♥ effects everything you do. Between these 2 particular CPUs the 1500x is going to give you more for what you pay since the i5's dont have hyperthreading and will be able to be overclocked unlike the 7500 locked cpu.

I was just curious, because I couldn't find anything about HOI4's performance on Ryzen.

I'd think that those two CPUs offer a similar performance. (It's different with the more expensive CPUs, where Intel as of now has the edge when it comes to PDS games. Which is sad, because I like AMD better and I'm going to buy a new CPU in the next couple of months...)

Does the Ryzen have HT (or whatever AMD's equivalent is called)? If not it doesn't matter that the i5-7500 doesn't have HT, does it?

Yes the 1500X does have hyperthreading this model is 4C/8T where as the i5s dont support hyperthreading so the i5-7500 is 4C/4T.

Also the 1500X is overclockable so its able to achieve even higher clocks speeds where the i5-7500 is locked and cant be pushed passed its turbo clock.

Yes, I have used a ryzen processor on hoi 4 ( Ryzen 7 2700 non x ) But the performance was really bad

Ik i am slightly late to this but i only seen it today so yeah, oops

My 1050 ti was never maxed out more then once or twice for a few seconds

Yeah, it's quite an old post. In the end I've bought the Ryzen 5 1600 with 8gb of 3000mhz RAM and it completes my RX470 quite well. Game runs much better than in your gameplay. Slower RAM perhaps? RX470 almost never maxes out as well.
