CPU Performance

We first encounter how the AMD FX-8350 scales in CoH two using maximum quality settings with the GTX Titan. At the standard frequency of 4.0GHz, we averaged 37fps and boosting the clock speed past another thirteen% increased performance by viii%, which isn't bad. The problem is we yet only accomplished 40fps. Moreover, the game seems quite CPU dependent, equally we saw a 42% performance increase when going from 2.50GHz to 4.50GHz, though that is an fourscore% jump in clock speed.

The medium quality settings -- which we look to place more emphasis on the CPU rather than the GPU -- saw an 81% performance increment when scaling from 2.50GHz to 4.50GHz, which once more is an 80% clock boost. The game is conspicuously very CPU dependent, but over again, at 4.50GHz the FX-8350 was but able to bulldoze the GTX Titan to 49fps.

Interestingly, the Cadre i7-4770K painted a totally different picture than the FX-8350 when testing on maximum quality, delivering the same frame charge per unit at both ii.50GHz and 4.50GHz: 41fps, which is actually 1fps faster than the FX-8350 at 4.50GHz, suggesting that the Intel function is extremely efficient -- more so than we expected.

Effectively what this ways is that the Cadre i7-4770K can push the GTX Titan to its limit in CoH 2 at just two.5GHz while the FX-8350 needs to exist clocked 80% college to accomplish the same level of performance.

This fourth dimension the Core i7-4770K managed 65fps with the GTX Titan on medium quality, which is much faster than the FX-3850's 49fps. What's more, the i7-4770K was able to push the GTX Titan to the max when clocked at just iii.50GHz. Below that, we saw a abrupt drop off in performance once clocked at 3.0GHz and 2.50GHz.

Now let's meet how a range of CPUs handle CoH with the GTX Titan and max quality settings. As we've already seen, the Core i7-4770K is capable of 41fps and the FX-8350 just 37fps, while the Cadre i7-3770K matched the i7-4770K and the i5-3570K was just 1fps slower. The Core i7-3960X was slower than the i5-3570K which is very surprising given how CPU demanding this game is and makes us regret using it equally the primary test scrap.

The lower-end Athlon II X4 quad-cores are useless in this game, as are the dual-core parts including the Core i3-3220. As is often the case, the Cadre i7 and Core i5 processors announced to be the best choices, though the FX-8350 does hold its own.

With the more playable medium quality settings the Core i7-4770K and i7-3770K race ahead, followed by the Core i5-3570K and i5-3470. Again, the Core i7-3960X is much slower than expected and this suggests to us that the game really just requires 4 threads and that clock speed is more of import than enshroud size.

Here the FX-8350 was 31% slower than the Cadre i7-4770K and 22% slower than its competitor, the Core i5-3470. The quondam i7-920 was able to match the FX-8350, while the Phenom Ii X6 and X4 processors showed their age here.
