Far Cry 5 / Primal, For Accolade, Fortnite, Frostpunk, GTA V

The Core i5-8400 breezed through the Far Cry five benchmark and it took an overclocked Ryzen five 2600 to match information technology. Stock Ryzen wasn't exactly slow but fifty-fifty at 1440p nosotros do run into the Core i5-8400 providing up to 21% more performance which is obviously very meaning.

Ryzen has ever had massive performance problems with Far Cry Key and well nothing's changed. Here we see overclocking and tweaking the retentivity timings did piddling to meliorate things and as a result the Core i5-8400 enjoys an easy win. Even once overclocked the 2600 was still eight% slower than the 8400 at 1440p when comparing frame fourth dimension performance.

For Honour is a mostly GPU jump title, especially without hardware configuration and every bit such the performance at 1440p and 1080p is much the same for all three configurations. Testing at 720p shows the Core i5-8400 to be but 6% faster than the stock Ryzen 5 2600 for the frame time issue only 13% faster for the boilerplate frame charge per unit.

Overclocked the 2600 enjoys a 21% performance increment at 720p and this meant it was 7% faster than the 8400 for the average frame rate and 14% faster for the frame fourth dimension result.

The Ryzen 5 and Core i5 processors delivered the same feel in Fortnite so there'south not much to say hither. Solid results all round and it's actually not worth overclocking a loftier-finish CPU if you only play this title.

Frostpunk is a make new game and quite a few of you have been asking for a criterion, so I decided to include it hither. To benchmark the game I've congenital a large city and I'm measuring performance with the game speed on normal as I zoom in and out while too moving effectually the city.

Again we find that stock the Ryzen 5 2600 limits performance of the GTX 1080 Ti even at 1440p though this is rectified once overclocked. Nonetheless overall the Core i5-8400 did deliver better functioning making it the articulate winner here.

Moving on to Grand Theft Auto Five and here we're generally CPU bound and this is evident when looking at the Core i5-8400 which limited performance to the frame rate at all three resolutions. Then we see when looking at the 1080p results that the Ryzen five processor is ten% slower than the 8400. However overclocking additional the average frame charge per unit past 22% and at present the 2600 is 10% faster than the 8400. Then overclocking the cores and tightening upwardly the memory timings helped Ryzen tremendously in this title.
