Ryzen - SMT Yes Or No - Gaming

Hey all,

I have a ryzen 5 1600. And from what I know - on some forum posts and videos e.g. from 3kilksphillip turning off hyper threading on skylake intel chips increased performance in a small value for CS:GO (5%)

Does anyone have data to show the differences in gaming with simultaneous multithreading turned off. As SMT is the processor splitting the core to utilize the resources but gaming data is large?

If somebody does not have data I am willing to make an excel spreadsheet and do benchmarks.

I, am a person who doesn't want to overclock as I know it reduces the lifespan of the chip - I am willing to buy myself a new processor in the last/2nd to last year of AM4 socket chips - but there is no harm in giving the chip to a household pc to my family.. So I thought i could do something less harmful/not harmful to the processor.

Disabling threads - not cores - watch the video :)

Well, you know what I mean. By disabling threads you're effectively disabling virtual cores.

It won't decrease performance and it'll only increase performance by 3 percent in the shittiest of engines so.

Source also got a update so CS:GO uses threads much better now

I would have anything enabled rather than some things disabled

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
