Shadow Of The Tomb Raider - CPU Performance and general game benchmark discussions

[QuietBob]

Please forgive my ignorance here, but is this in the game itself or a benchmark I can download ?????

You can download a free demo from Steam that also includes the benchmark. It supposedly runs on an older engine and produces lower results. Since I don't own the full game, I can't confirm this myself.

 

[caroline!]

Are all your power settings to max performance?

yup, I'm using the Ryzen power plan

yeah that's really weird I had an non XT 5700 and it got way better than what you are getting so there's definitely something fishy going on with your card like maybe it's not actually an RX5700XT

Card is about 2 years old already.
I've reinstalled it and now I'm getting about 70 FPS + the benchmark isn't stuttering anymore, crashes persist tho.

Friend of mine is running it with a 9600k+3070Ti and has twice as much FPS as me, weird.

what CPU do you have? and what RAM?

5800X and G.Skill Trident Z 2x8 @3733MHz

I've disabled fullscreen optimizations and gained an additional 5 FPS overall, feel like I'm going places.

That's really weird, seems your GPU is heavily underperforming, I would not rule out a faulty GPU, as in hardware problem, normally with a 5800x and G.Skill Trident Z @3773mhz it should be a lot faster. One thing to note, is that 3733mhz ram 100% stable? Is it clocked 1:1:1, as in, if the FCLK and UCLK running at 1886.5? You might want to run a couple of Y-Cruncher tests, all of the tests, that's very good at testing and finding stability issues. Could be that that 1886mhz FCLK is not a stable, and that can cause a lot of weirdness and random crashes, including degraded GPU performance.

hmm, memory is running at 1866 and FCLK is set to auto, ryzen master reports it as 1866 as well, could try manually setting everything on the BIOS setup, I don't like tinkering with the mobo via windows.
I'll try Y-cruncher, haven't heard of that program before, if something fails I'll set everything via BIOS and try again.

About the game, I was able to play for about an hour with no issues -at nearly 80 fps with dips to 50-60 in parts of the jungle- and decided to pause to get some water, when I came back (roughly 5 minutes) I found my desktop with an empty taskbar meaning the game had crashed.

@SuperMumrik
Maybe upload SotTR run here also ?

Fortsatt med ddr4 ? veldig bra min og 95% fps

Yes, DDR4@4000c15.
The D5's just arrived at the postal office. To bad they are micron chips

Is that with 15c water?

nah, that was ambient with mo-ra

Current fastest SotTR run ive seen, performed by Carillo

So, here is the SOTTR 4300 cl14 1T results

(12900k)

View attachment 225722

so basically from rather early data, a top tuned 5950x (353) vs a top tuned 12900k (366) is ~3% difference in favor of the Alder Lake chip in this bench?

Side note: you need a binned cpu with a strong imc and a good ram stick to be able to run at those speed. A random sample of 12900k and a random stick wont be able to get u that result.

SOTTR is very much latency and ram limited. Alder lake actually has a bit higher latency, especially with E cores enabled -- so it doesn't do as well in this bench as others.

This, and the fact that the whole SotTR engine seems to crap out that around 350fps

I said in this benchmark, did not say its a general difference (do not want to start a fanboy war )
Anyone tested Alder Lake with a 6900xt in this benchmark?

Just roll back to 449 ,that's what I did.
Also got win11 bench , 256 vs win10 253.View attachment 221660View attachment 221657

Is anyone using the latest SOTTR update

My old war horsey with memory at 2133 @11 12 12 36 1T (thanks intel for the huge WHOOPY delta temp and consumption whith the xmp profile on)

I'm expecting more, but thats it

Even on my i5 8400 a bit of ram tuning can have great impact! I advice all of you stuck on crappy Intelboards with ram speed limits like B360, B460, H310, H410 to tweak a bit.

Since the motherboard is a B360 max speed is 2666. Running the 2 sticks XMP gave me 143fps avg\96 min on CPU-game. Running tuned gave me 168fps avg\114 min on CPU-game. That is an uplift of 17.5% on avg and 19% on min. For comparison: In aida stock gave 39, 38 34k and 55.5ns, tuned: 41, 41, 37k and 50.9ns.

Stock timings: 15-16-16-35 refi 8316 rfc 460, rrd 8-12, faw 34, wr 24, rtp 12, wtr 5-14
Tweaked timings: 12-16-16-28 refi 65535 rfc 380, rrd 4-6, faw 16, wr 12, rtp 6, wtr 3-6 rest of timings are unchanged

Indeed, Ram tuning is forgotten by most these days, even if in most situations it gives really nice boosts in certain scenarios.

18fps boost on cpu game avg (that's what cpu outputs), try tuning other timings and you get 200+ fps. 3200cl15 is probably B-die so you can tune rfc a lot
