This Game and AMD CPU? RYZEN - BeamNG

Well, we all know AMD CPU's are not good for this game and I learned it in hard way. But, I'm planing to get the new AMD RYZEN(ZEN) CPU and, how do you think how this CPU going to work in this game? Will it be the best bang for buck in this game? Or it's going to be a disaster. What are you thinking about this? I'm sure when this RYZEN goes into the market in a reasonable price, I'm going to start a Red Gaming PC. (Fully AMD Equipped) What you think for this CPU? Will it handle same as Intel? Or, worse? What do you think?

 

It's not about that, It's about, how do you think it going to be? Wouldn't be good if a AMD CPU run this game like a Intel i5 Skylake processor without cost much? It would be surprising if you can run this game with 4 cars + good map and 40-60 fps and a 4 core 8 thread Ryzen processor. It can do it with a nice overclock. AMD will incrase their single core performance in their CPUs. So, this means with a 8 core 16 thread PC, It will do an incredible job. Or other way, its going to be shiiiiiit like current AMD CPUs. And if this CPU earns some slice from the market, Intel's price range can go lower. So cheaper it gets earns buyer happiness. AMD has some advantages in their APUs and they are improving them with their processors and GPUs. After this Ryzen, I'd like to have a A10 APU with DDR4 support, Ryzen CPU and their current GPU architecture with a R7 series mid range GPU chip built-in. It would be good. And, finally an APU can run this game. Technology goes forward. In this world, we can put 4k - 2k screens in our pockets and SLI's on our backpacks. MSI can give us a real RED computer with AMD Gaming stickers in it. I think it will be cool. I wish I could get my hands on a Ryzen with a AM4 motherboard. And I hope i can fit my AM3+ cooler to a AM4 socket motherboard. I don't want to spend some money for a heatsink again.

 

Nobody is denying that it'd be great for the new CPUs to be competitive but until they're released, nobody has any idea if they'll be good. I do struggle to see how they'd be a flop though, AMD know what they have to beat and have spent literally years developing the new chips. We will see.

 

Since I don't own anything AMD except a couple of video cards and have heard how much AMD suffers on this game... How bad is it actually? Like is AMD's performance in this game atrocious compared to Intel or what is the deal? I see everyone talking about it but I just have no idea basically and am curious.

 

It is silly to just say "AMD CPUs", what everyone means is the FX CPUs and A-Series APUs. They are not very good in single-threaded applications. (Due to the poor single core IPC of that CPU architecture) And as such, those CPUs don't do very well in games that heavily utilize the CPU.

The new Ryzen chips have been shown to have Broadwell-E levels of IPC, therefore these CPUs should be perfectly fine running most anything. The only potential drawbacks for them is if they are unable to clock very highly. (currently AMD has only guarenteed 3.4 GHz)

 

Ahh, and is 3.4GHz not a very high clock for an AMD, or is that just not a high clock period anymore? I am over here running only 2.4GHz and I thought that was still half way decent, but if 3.4 isn't very high, then 2.4 is pretty low sounding to me

 

But most AMD CPUs are unlocked, allowing about 4ghz. If not, they didn't say a max of 3.4ghz, they said a min.

 

I'm using a crappy 2008 AMD Athlon II X4 630 - 2.8GHz and I play fine, most maps on normal settings I'm getting between 40 and 60 FPS, so I think Beam is pretty balanced between CPU and GPU usage considering I have an R9 390X (Bottlenecked I know, I can't afford a 300 dollar CPU right now) I would say go for it, yeah it might not perform quite as well as Intels next line but it should do fine if paired with a GPU in a similar bracket.

 

Ultimately ryzen isn't out and we've seen little real world from it. There's no way to confirm how beam runs until someone tries it.

But outlook is good. I'm optimistic

 

It would be good for Intel to have competition, that would make them try harder, therefore making insanely better processors.
A! M! D! A! M! D! A! M! D!

 

I hope Intel gets a really hard competition on prices, so we can get intel CPUs cheeeeeeeeeeaper. And, for the people saying "AMD and 3.4ghz?" well, there will be nothing like that. I'm using a FX 6100 with 4.5ghz overclock. And my CPU's stock speed is 3.2ghz and I can get 4ghz or 3.9 ghz without changing the voltage settings. I think the new Ryzen gen cpus will get to 4.5-5ghz range easily with a cooler. Because, the new cpus will be a little bit smart on cooling and it can detect if there is a aircooler, watercooler and even LN2 cooling for extreme results. I hope AMD can beat Intel in performance/price range. I was thinking about is there anyone that can run this game with a AMD A10 with 30fps. And I think new Ryzen cpus will get to 4.5-5ghz easily with a cheap-mid range aircooler. Because, my CPU even gets 4.5ghz with a (I don't know but i think its called heatsinks) cheap-mid range thermaltake cooler and runs perfectly well. I hope we can get some AMD powered gaming laptops for nice prices. And, my best dream is having a APU with a R9 GPU in it. (Of course, DDR4 and high speed ram sticks will help this.) I know, there is no point of that but I think it would be good for small gaming PCs and laptops. (Some cheap laptops uses AMD APUs and in theory it is better than some Intel HD graphics.)

 

It would be nice to see AMD finally beat Intel, they're getting close with GPUs.

 

We can see a RX490 coming out maybe. And you can overclock almost all AMD CPUs easily, but in Intel, you need to mess with it in order to overclock it.(If it is a K series CPU, you can do easily yeah, but non K cpus are multiplier locked.)

 

I'm tempted to buy the RX490 for my next gaming rig, my current one has an R9 390X. Would be cool to see the differences.

 

RX490 with the new AMD CPU. You need a little more than this. A red color palette motherboard, red colored ram sticks, and a black-red case with red LEDs and AMD Gaming stickers on front.

 

With their own API in some games, yes. Otherwise sadly no.

We will see what the new architecture Ryzen is capable of soon.

 

AMD has said it's equivalent and better in some benchmarks than the Intel Core i7-6900K, so pretty beastly, but Intel hasn't released any performance benchmarks yet. Regardless we are now up in the realm where people can buy either and still max out any game so far.

 

You can say a lot, if this is true is the other thing. They already said that with the Bulldozers..

 

True, but hopefully it is. It'd be better for everyone if it is
