Gaming Performance

Earlier nosotros get to the gaming benchmarks, be aware that at that place are 2 different memory access modes for Threadripper and they impact gaming performance quite a chip. Past default, the CPU is configured to utilize the distributed style which uses a UMA or Compatible Memory Access configuration. This method works all-time for the productivity workloads we but saw and since it's the default configuration I decided to test the games using this mode. That said, I will compare UMA vs. NUMA performance too.

Kickoff up we accept Battlefield 1 and although performance doesn't look slap-up, it doesn't look bad either with the Threadripper CPUs delivering like performance to the R7 1700. That does withal make them quite a flake slower than the Skylake-10 CPUs, especially the 7820X and 7900X. Delight note that for our gaming tests I've lowered the quality settings slightly to attempt and reduce the GPU bottleneck.

Moving to Total War: Warhammer nosotros meet some pretty ordinary performance, specially in relation to Ryzen 7. It's possible the game will be updated to meliorate support Threadripper, that said though we are pushing over 100fps at all times and then while comparatively slow when compared to the 1800X and 7900X, Threadripper'due south not exactly slow.

The 1950X performed well when testing with Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation, basically matching the Core i9-7900X, while 1920X wasn't that far off, beating the 7820X. Both Threadripper CPUs were much faster than the Ryzen 7 models.

Ryzen 7 has proven to be very fast in Civilization Vi and while not as fast, Threadripper also performs well in this title, beating out the Intel CPUs.

The last game we accept fourth dimension for is F1 2022 and here Threadripper slips behind Ryzen vii and well behind Skylake-X. With the quality preset reduced to high we are seeing some pretty massive frame rates from the Intel processors.
