Just a short update about my 5800X3D upgrade.
I kinda had instant regret about spending that kind of money on a CPU… but now that I’ve tried it, wow!
I only bothered to do a 2 before/after tests. Parked same place (custom scenery), same time of day, same weather etc. I’m using ultrawide 3840x1080 so lots of pixels to fill, with TAA. Only difference was “terrain level of detail”, I tested between 100 and 200. With 5600X, I had 47fps and 40 fps. And CPU Mainthread around 22-23ms.
After putting in 5800X3D, and no other changes, I had 70 fps and 60 fps with 100 LOD and 200 LOD. Same settings, location, weather and time. CPU maintread lowered to 14ms.
Is the CPU worth it? I don’t know, but it certainly improves performance!
