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?
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: Run in DX12 as previously suggested Increase shader cache size as high as you can (I've gone with Unlimited) 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
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
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!
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.
