Post your FPS & CPU's scores - instructions how to measure included - 5950x + 12900k + now 5800x3D!!

[hxsgame]

I could run this test (and might) but I will say the frame change between my old i5 4690k and my new 5600x (PBO) is night and day ……

Thanks, Hope to see your test results.
Very curious, the performance between of 5600x and 10600kf.

Version: 4.0 HF3
CPU: Ryzen 2600X (uv offset -0.06, PBO on)
Mem: 32GB (2x16) 3200 DDR4 16-16-18-16-36-54
GPU: Vega 64 LC 2560x1440 (uv + hbm2@1045 and timings tweaked) VSync off, SSAO off, SSR off, other settings maxed and FXAA
Young Gun : 112-114
Dense Emp : 16-20
Dense Emp / Empty : 115-118

Same results for 1920x1080
For both resolutions the GPU load is about 67-71%

It's time to upgrade CPU to 5600X ))

update:
another interesting test with same hardware config, but slight differences
i disabled 4 cores - now 2 cores only with SMT
Young Gun : 93-94
Dense Emp : 12-14
Dense Emp / Empty : 85-87

*** Edit ***

Windows 10 (i will do a follow up in Linux)

CPU : 3900X (preferred Cores and CPPC ON, No PBO just stock boost speeds and SMT OFF so it only has 12 threads not 24)
RAM : 3800C16 (1900IF)
GPU : 5700XT (2100Mhz @1150mv - stock speed just undervolted), 1800Mhz VRAM

Resolution : 2560x1440
SSAO HIGH
Young Gun : 111-113 (pointing at the planet 94-99)
Dense Emp : 22-24
Dense Emp / Empty : 122-124 (opened map around 80)

SSAO OFF
Young Gun : ~130 (pointing at the planet 120)
Dense Emp : 22-24
Dense Emp / Empty : 128-130 (opened map around 100)

Resolution : 1920x1080
SSAO HIGH
Young Gun : 130-132 (pointing at the planet 130-132)
Dense Emp : 22-24
Dense Emp / Empty : 130-132 (opened map around 100)

SSAO OFF
Young Gun : 134 (pointing at the planet 130-132)
Dense Emp : 22-24
Dense Emp / Empty : 132 (opened map around 106)




Game settings 4.0 HF3
AA NONE, Textures High, Shadows High, Soft Shadows ON, Glow High, Chromatic Abe ON, Distortion ON, LOD 100, Effect Distance 71, Radar High, SSR Low, Volumetric Fog High.


If any developer looks at the above, as an analyst & developer myself, I feel the planet FPS drop at 2560x1440 over 1920x1080 at Young Gun (with SSAO) is bit drastic.
Had to retest it several times because it feels something is wrong, it shouldn't justify 20% reduction by pointing at the planet while 1080p is not affected.
With SAAO OFF is 10% drop.

Hi

If anyone is interested in a 5600x result:

CPU: 5600X (no overclock) Version: 4.1 (latest beta as per July 5th)
Mem: 3600 DDR4 - Very tight timings and subtimings as per Ryzen Dram Calculator
GPU: Rx580
Resolution & Settings: 1920x1080, all lowest
Young Gun : 121 - 136 fps
Dense Emp : 29 - 30 fps (settings I play the game at - 26fps)
Dense Emp / Empty : 161 - 165 fps

Over my old 2600 non-X the dense empire numbers are something like 10 fps more. It is quite insane the improvement.

The day the game gets proper multi-threading optimization gonna be the biggest day for X4. If that ever happens. Until then it will never get to its true potential.

It does have, in Linux using 10 cores (I have SMT off).
However no game EVER will be able to run as you think multi-threading should work, because 1 thread will already do all the job firing other threads waiting for results and get them back again to move to next step.

Until we move to quantum computing.

So, it's worth asking, is the game faster in cpu limited situations under Linux?

You can always try it, personally I love Manjaro XFCE, easy to install, has everything and is still very lightweight.
I have written a post about this last year on the linux discussion here. And if you have your games in Steam all are running in linux by just installing the client and downloading them as normal

I am upgrading my CPU/memory/storage soon and will contribute to this topic.

A few questions:
- Is there a graphic profile to set? I understand low graphic settings is better (using the predefined profile) What about the resolution? I guess 1920x1080 is pretty standard?
- I was thinking of adding saving/loading time, for me that's a very important aspect of the game but I can understand if this is just too off topic.

Looking forward to benchmarking

[Metran]

I'm waiting for hardware prices to normalise before building a new PC, until then I'm stuck with:

CPU: Intel i7-6700 3.4GHz
Mem: 32GB Kingston DDR4-2400
GPU: Geforce GTX970 (mini-ITX) - 4GB VRAM

Running graphics on (custom) Medium settings @1080p, Game v5.0 Beta 6
Young Gun: ~60 fps.
Dense Emp: 12-15 fps (~10 on map)
Dense Emp/Empty: 50-55 fps (~20 on map)

[gorman2040]

Alright, here is my numbers with my 10 years old computer!
I upgraded the graphic card and storage though

All test have been done with the low graphics preset as advised, no AA, no scaling, no VSync and game running version 5.00 beta 6HF1 with both Split Vendetta and Cradle of Humanity.
I have tested two different resolution 192x1080 fullscreen and 3840x2160 borderless (this is what I use when playing).

My current configuration:
i7-3770S (3.10Ghz, boost 3.8Ghz, Hyper-threading ON), 16GB DD3 1333mhz, 1TB SSD, RTX2060 Super. Everything running at factory clock/settings, there was no XMP at that time.

FPS has been eyeballed with the in game FPS indicator after waiting a few seconds to get a stable reading and not moving the ship. Those damn captains comming you makes it difficult as I get a slight FPS drop when their face appears.

Young Gun: 80 FPS @1080p or 4K (no real change in FPS between the two resolutions)
Dense Emp: 10 FPS @1080p or 4K (no real change in FPS between the two resolutions)
Dense Emp/Empty: 31 FPS @1080p or 4K (no real change in FPS between the two resolutions), for this one I had to to teleport back and forth to the ship as the game was running at 2 FPS otherwise, I'm assuming something with the new interiors maybe?

I was surprised to see the resolution not changing the FPS.

I'll create a new post when I am upgraded.

Cheers

Version: 4.20 Beta (465891)

CPU: I7-12700KF @ 52x/38x/42x 1.34v
RAM: 2x8GB 3600mhz(16-19-19-41) 1.35v, 61.2ns latency
GPU:RTX 3090

Resolution: 3440x1440

empty: 127-137
dense: 38-42
young: 155-159

considering my old setup was an 8700k@5ghz that got 35-37 on dense, not a massive upgrade for X4 but a great CPU regardless.

going to refine the overclock and report back later with hopefully better results.

I wouldn't be surprised if optimization is logarithmic. With that amount of ships and displayed objects, it's probably very hard to get decent FPS with the state of the engine.
It was probably not designed as this situation to be the normal, this is just my theory though.

I issue with X games is that they are not optimised, to my knowledge at least, for multicore or multi-thread utilisation. To achieve that would require almost a complete redesign of the code.

I would hope that if, or more likely when, Egosoft decides to make X5 they'll invest the time to redesign the game code to fully utilise current CPU's capabilities.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly but there was this post from CBJ, one of the game's dev.

As with X Rebirth, X4 will use two cores pretty heavily for its primary activities (simulation and rendering) and as many other cores as are available for other peripheral tasks (such as path-finding and asset loading). Drivers and APIs used by the game, such as Vulkan, may also be able to make use of more than one core. Overall, the game is likely to work best on a system with at least 4 cores, and the benefits of more than that will probably tail off fairly rapidly.

As csaba pointed out, though, the Intel on-board graphics isn't going to help matters, not only in performance terms but also because their driver support tends to lag behind NVidia and AMD.
