Individual Ryzen Benchmarks

[StealthArsenal]

Hello Everyone,

 

Hope this is in the right place.

 

I was curious as to how many of you who purchased Ryzen chips, particularly the 1800x and benchmarked it against their current rig.  I have spent sometime today benching my 1800x (at 3.9 ghz on air), 16gb Crucial Elite 2667, GTX1080 Classified and Aorous Gaming 5 motherboard against my X99 system in my signature. 

 

Just for some quick numbers: at 1080p testing on Acer Predator XB271HU monitors

1800x @ 3.9  on air                                                        

Cpuz: Single Core: 2277, Multi Core: 19954

Cinebench: CPU: 1623CB, Single: 158, MP Ratio 10.28x

Heaven: AVG: 145.5 FPS, Score 3665

Timespy: Graphics = 7677, CPU Score: 8373

Firestrike: Graphics: 22,826, Physics: 19,536,Combined: 5209

Tomb Raider: Min FPS: 140, Max FPS: 244, Avg FPS: 185.6

Metro Last Light: Average: 142 FPS, Max: 252.78 FPS, Min: 28.20 FPS

Battlefield 1 Campaign: (1080P-Ultra Settings) Min: 98 FPS, Max: 132

 

5820k @ 4.4 on water

Cpuz: Single Core: 2002, Multi Core: 13118

Cinebench: CPU: 1248CB, Single: 172, MP Ratio 7.26x

Heaven: AVG: 116 FPS, Score 2929

Timespy: Graphics = 11958, CPU Score: 6724

Firestrike: Graphics: 20,854 , Physics: 17,022 ,Combined: 8707

Tomb Raider: Min FPS: 142, Max FPS: 224, Avg FPS: 189.5

Metro Last Light: Average: 135 FPS, Max: 255.17 FPS, Min: 24.99 FPS

 

I am going to do some more real world gaming with the 1800x such as BF1 for example.  But what I am seeing in my testing is that the Ryzen is keeping up and surpassing my 5820k in some of the canned benchmarks.  The only thing that comes to mind if this is somehow false is that Ryzen is on a fresh Win 10 install whereas my X99 system has an install that well over a year old.  I can update some games tomorrow when I get them all installed.  I wasn't sure how the Ryzen was going to work out after seeing all the reviews so I do have a Kaby Lake 7700k sitting sealed in its box right now.  I was anticipating I would be certainly building that as my second system for another area of my home.  I am a bit perplexed with what I am seeing so far.  

 

Just wanted to throw this out there and see what everyone thought. 

 

Thanks

It SEEMS like Ryzen isn't for gaming AT THIS MOMENT. It's better in alot of different areas, just not gaming. As some reviewers said, it's due to bad code in games, and windows favoring Intel CPU's.

[StealthArsenal]

That is what I had been reading, but what I am seeing right now is that the 1800X is right inline with my 5820k and pulling ahead in some other tests.  This was something I was not expecting to see based on all of the reviews out there.  I was trying to come up with a plausible reason as to why this was occurring when all the other reviewers got such great differences.

You should either test them on the same fresh installs or don't bother.  A 1+ year old Windows install is far from equal to a fresh install of Windows. 

[StealthArsenal]

I went ahead and tested the 5820k on fresh install and the results were virtually identical to my year old installation.  Very interesting.  I also put together my 7700k system to test and saw the single core and gaming improvements, but it still seemed that the 1800x overclocked hung in there fairly well at 3.9 ghz.  The 7700 was clocked at 4.7 as I couldn't get it stable beyond that due to heat.  Not under water right now.

Interesting results.

 

I myself, see HUGE differences between my overclocked 5960x and my 7700k with regards to gaming and daily usage tasks.

 

For comparison sakes, my 5960x at its max scored a 1968cb multi and a 196cb single.  My 7700k scored a 1218cb multi and a 239cb single.  While one would assume that the 5960x would be better for daily use, it just isn't.  My 7700k destroys it in just about all tasks with the exception of those very efficient with multi-threading.

 

That 43cb point difference between 5960x and 7700k in single-thread really translates into a fast and snappy system.  I did keep the 5960x for the occasions that I have a large multi-threaded jobs to do, but honestly, I've just been doing them on the 7700k/z270 rig.

[StealthArsenal]

For argument sakes, my 5820k at its max scored 1260 (fresh install) multi and 172cb single.  The 7700k max scored a 1024cb multi and a 204cb single.  The 1800x max scored 1623cb multi and a 158 single.  

 

One other benchmark of interest was CPU-Z.  

- 5820k - 2002 single/13118 multi

- 7700k - 2345 single/10393 multi

- 1800x - 2277 single/19954 multi

 

When it came to the games (Tomb Raider, Dirt, Shadow or Mordor, BF1 and Metro), all the numbers favored the 7700k and the 1800x and 5820k more or less traded blows.  We are talking the order of 2-5 fps between min/max/average.  

 

I can't say I was expecting to see this after most of the reviews.  I am running the Aorous Gaming 5 board which seems to be the most stable.  I also don't know how other games will play, I just don't have the time to test everything.  Need to make a decision and return one of these builds.  I am kind of thinking of hanging onto the 5820k machine and keeping it as my daily driver as it is now, and using the 7700k for my projector gaming setup at 1080p.  Saves me $200ish and I can always watch and see how Ryzen matures and/or skylake/kaby lake -x launch.

Thanks for taking the time to share your findings with us.  It helps the next guy for sure.

 

Good luck man.

Cool results, thanks for sharing.

 

Where do you live that computer stores allow you to return the other builds? CPU only or entire towers? wow.

[StealthArsenal]

Microcenter gives you 15 days to return processors and 30 on motherboards I believe.  The DIY staff always say bring it home and test it and if your not happy return it.  I just felt that with this launch I needed to take advantage of that just because of the all new architecture for the CPU's.

Micro Center is the best thing out there and you're lucky to have one.  They accept returns on EVERYTHING.  Just for clarification, it's 15 days on CPUs and motherboards.  Everything else is 30 days.  I had boards go out well past the 15 days and they still let me swap it for another brand new one.  I think the last one I swapped was at the 45 day mark.  Great retailer.

I think Ryzen gaming will improve quite a bit as optimizations start coming out, game devs start adding code into their games to optimize them, MoBo companies start updating and fixing bios' and AMD works out the kinks of this rocky launch.

 

There isn't a guarantee but I do think what we see now can only improve even if just by a few frames or percentages.

The only thing that concerns me with that logic is that AMD supposedly isn't marketing Ryzen 7 as a gaming CPU.  It's gaming capable, but that's not it's primary role.  Initial launch and sales were bad.  Hell, I've never seen my local Micro Centers with so many of any CPU type in stock, but they have Ryzen chips for days!

 

Anyways, if it's not primarily designed for gaming and sales haven't been great, what compels game developers and Microsoft to even give a crap about making any optimizations or bug fixes?  Not saying they wont eventually, but I'd hate to be the one waiting and hoping.
