PC Which Cpu Is Best For Tsw?

currently using RTX 4070 Ti/ Ryzen 5 5600X.
all the other settings are good enough i think(32GB RAM, 500TB SSD only for TSW, etc.)
game settings are generic high, graphics high-medium, screen percentage 100%, 1920x1080.

i gave up playing TSW about an year ago because of stuttering.
originally using RTX 3060 / same CPU, but it stutters at the same moments after changing 4070Ti.
so i concluded that problem was originated from low performance CPU.
i know this issue is a problem that cannot be solved entirely but what i hope is just lessening the issue.

which CPU is recommended?

 

Is your OS and pagefile also on SSD?

 

Did you have -dx12 active in steam? That will reduce stutters.

And if wish to change you have to change to AM5 but then you need new RAM, CPU and Motherboard. In AM4 where you are now there is not a big step to make i think

 

I’ve got a RTX 4070 and can play at High / Ultra with 60FPS with ease, so you shouldn’t have any issues. I think stuttering is more to do with the game engine itself and an issue no matter what.

 

Right now I would say an AMD X3D chip. 9800x3d would be best, but 7800x3d is also good and cheaper if the price is a concern.

 

And if you don’t want to change the platform completely, you can buy 5700x3d or its younger brothers 5500х3d and 5600x3d

 

I'm running the same CPU with a 4070 Ti Super, running on Ultra settings apart from sky (Very High) and JetWash's mod on Ultra, 64GB RAM and a big NVMe SSD. Plenty happy with performance, 3 things that help:

1. Run in DX12 as previously suggested
2. Increase shader cache size as high as you can (I've gone with Unlimited)
3. The shader cache clears every time the graphics driver updates, so don't stress that the first run on every route will have more stuttering while it refills the cache

 

dummy question here.
How do you opt for unlimited cache size, is it an in game setting?
ta

 

Thats not possible with a cpu replacement only. He has a AM4 structure what will result in nearly a complete rebuild of his pc. So AMD have different systems AM4 where he is and AM5 and the difference is the Motherboard Ram and CPU what costs a lot to change but i have to admit if you have the money change to AM5 is nowdays a good choice AM4 will run out of stock in a short time. then you can choose what you propose

 

NVIDIA Control Panel, Manage 3D settings, Global Settings tab, Shader Cache Size.

 

Is having an RTX 5090 pointless for TSW6?

I’m using a RTX 4070 currently with a Ryzen 7 CPU.

 

Yeah it seems that TSW is far more CPU limited than GPU limited, on a 4070 Super I was running it at Ultra 1440p with a 2x resolution scale so 2880p internal and was running just fine.

 

This question depends on more than just whether it's useful for TSW! First of all, what kind of monitor do you have? Especially anything below 4K makes a 5090 pretty much pointless. Also, do you play other games like Cyberpunk? Those games benefit from the technologies this card offers. TSW doesn’t include any special Nvidia features like Raytracing or DLSS. If you don’t play those and only play TSW, I’d say absolutely not. It brings no benefit. It’s better to invest in a good CPU. A CPU contributes more because TSW relies more on processing power.

 

thanks for all the answers!
currently on phone, so here are some short replies:
-considering full changing my computer.
-DX12 doesn't help that much
-OS is on the other SSD
-shader cache size doesn't help too

 

I'd say the sweet spot is an 8-core CPU that is running an all-core frequency as high as you can possibly get. For instance, I have an i9-12900KS with an all-core overclock of 5.2GHz and TSW really seems to like it.

 

I think that could definitely be an option, but you really need to consider how the PC will be used! If you're using the PC purely for gaming, I wouldn't go with that choice instead, I'd recommend the AM5 processors, especially the X3D versions. These are by far the best choice on the market. A well-priced option is the 7800X3D, which is a processor that works well with practically any graphics card. That means you won’t need to buy a new GPU. The 4070TI is simply excellent and one of the most commonly used.
If you also use the PC for other tasks like schoolwork, then what Brandon recommends is a better fit, because the X3D performs a bit less well on general workloads. But keep in mind that Intel doesn’t work with AMD and vice versa.

 

My laptop is already enough for my daily task. Then X3Ds is the way i think. Thanks for detailed solution!

 

What memory profile are you using?

 

ram: 8x4, i think?
hdd and ssd are bit messed up. 256gb sata ssd for os, basic functions, and game launcher. 500gb nvme ssd for tsw, 2tb hdd for all the others

 

I mean the memory profile in the bios? Are you running standard RAM speed or underclock/overclock.

If you have 4 sticks that's going to cause issues, you will be running in single channel mode and from my previous experience with amd having all slots filled causes memory instability issues also.

 

Nope. You will still use 2 channels but the length of the physical connection between the memory chips is increased causing an increased signal noise that the memory controller needs to deal with. This is what can cause instability, or force the controller to run at a lower speed. This is highly dependant on the luck you have with the memory controller in your specific chip and the quality of the motherboard.

 

partially solved
changed OS disk from 125 SATA to 2TB NVMe, and it got better. why?
maybe next time before fully changing my PC, i'll change my RAM config to 16x4.

 

change it to 2x32 GB you will get better performance in dual-channel than quad-channel (especially considering that your system is DDR4, dual-channel has a big positive impact on performance)

 

As I said in my previous post, having 4 memory sticks doesn't make your computer have 4 memory channels.
If his computer had 4 memory channels, he would want to use 4 memory sticks.

You are right to recommend 2 sticks instead of 4, but the reason you gave to do it is wrong.

 

RAM gives you any boost only in situations where it was previously lacking. If you have enough RAM for your tasks, then increasing its amount will give you absolutely nothing. On the other hand, increasing the RAM speed can provide some boost(depending on situation).

 

I have a laptop with a RTX 4070 and a 24 core i9 / 8GB ram. I can run everything ultra at 160% at a decent 40-60fps (no stuttering) depending on route. Perhaps you need a beefier CPU.

 

Hardware specs have almost 0 reduction on stutters caused by shader cache or tile loading. It will affect Fps and loading times. I went from ryzen 1600 to 3600 and 5700x3d/ AMD Rx5700xt 6700xt 9700, hdd to SSD and did not see any major change in stuttering reduction. The only real change in stuttering reduction is using tweaked ini settings as the ones from JetWash Lighting mod or my posts.
There are some new gen games like Dead Space Remake that benefit from faster cpu in reduction of the micro stutter when loading new areas, however for TSW that is not applicable due to the nature of how the engine streams assets.
I have even used a virtual drive of about 16 gb on the DDR4 ram to see if that helps, it made 0 difference.
And as reminder, compared to other unreal games where the shader cache is created at launch, on tsw it is crated on the go while doing your first run on a route. This results in massive hitches and stutters on demanding routes but will get much smoother on consecutive runs afterwards.

 

WOW! 500 TB SSD! That must've cost you a pretty penny. It is a tad bit overkill for just TSW, though.
