FFXV Benchmark 8Thread BIAS?

[faziten]

Hello, im here to ask a small favor for those with 8 or more threaded CPUs: I believe FFXV is BIASED towards 8 threaded CPUs.

(Btw, i already know its favors NVidia adding unnecesary tessellation with offscreen cows and all. Steve from GamersNexus did an amazing video on it, just not expected this results)

 

Recently something weird caught mi attention:

When i ran FFXV benchmark: (http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxv/windows/benchmark/ffxvbench_installer.zip )

I scored 6200 in 1080p High preset. Kinda low for what i've seen with 1070s, BUT! after a small discusion in some Youtuber channel (ARTIS) i tried the same benchmark with same everything (included drivers) BUT, setting affinity to 8 threads. (from 4 to 11) Boom, scored 6753. 

Thats a quite huge difference. For the records, my CPU is overclocked with fixed voltage so it remains at 4.0Ghz all the time. No turboboost shenanigans to blame. Also, every core is unparked.

Temperatures remains between 55-60ºC while benchmarking. No AVX compensation in BIOS or anything that could change the clock somehow.

 

In short:

12 threaded score 6200 +/- 1%

8 threaded score 6700 +/- 1%

 

 

 

My build is 5820, 4Ghz 4x4GB RAM 2400mhz

1070 Strix, 2050Mhz overclock on core, memory stock. 378.66 WHQL

W7-SP1

 

Thanks in advanced
