    I'm looking to buy a new PC. Generally AMD CPUs are better value for money, but I've heard reports in the past of TS not working that well with them. For anyone who has an AMD CPU, how well does TS run on it?

    Running TSC on an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU (Linux OS, SMT disabled)
    I have not noticed anything that would suggest that TSC does not play nice with my AMD CPU. Performance is what one can expect from a decade old game that depend on single core IPS over anything else. Hitting the 60 fps v-sync cap most of the time. Only in crowed areas like central stations and such i drops to 40-50 fps. Ultra quality settings with only scenery quality one step back to improve stability.

    Been running TSC on an AMD Ryzen for the last 5 years no noticeable difference to the Intel I had before. Only problem is I now have a non Win 11 compliance, not sure what I'll do in 14 days.................

    I don't have a compliant Win 10 system using Intel - I'm not doing anything with it for now.

    Maybe so but it took me long enough to move from MS-Dos 6.1 to Win 3.1 and as for Win95 - that took even longer and at my age time is not for wasting on learning new tricks unnecessarily, but thanks for the thought..

    Good to hear that it doesn’t have the issues I thought it did. I’m aiming for my new PC to be more powerful than the one I have now. TS runs fine on it, but it struggles with more modern games like Cyberpunk 2077.
