They released a new benchmark tool for final fantasy 14 today.

It is a dx11 game that tends to be cpu-bound, I've heard that more cores tends to help it out so I thought it might be a game that Ryzem does well in.

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark

I'm running an i5-2500k and am sort of curious how much a 6 core or 8 core Ryzen might improve performance in this game.
 
So I ran it 2 times with Opera in the background ;)

Hey thanks for posting, Seems like your rig does about as well at high res as mine does at 720p!

Of course your video card is also much better, With my GTX 960, and i5 2400k I got 10,312 at your 720p settings.
 
720p Max settings. R7 1700 + RX 480. 3.9Gz on R7 1700 and 1446 / 8640 on RX 480 just to get to 100 fps. :) :) :)

Well you know that a video card upgrade mean more than a CPU upgrade unless your CPU is choking you out. These synthetic benchmarks mean absolutely nothing in real world gaming situations. Think of them as a epeen measuring stick.

If you want to do more than just game with your computer than a Ryzen processor is a great upgrade right now. You can stream quite well with these and they are great at video editing and other multicore tasks. I can't open enough things to make them stutter. I even run multiple games at once as one of the MMOs that I play allows me to fish AFK. So I play another game while it levels up my fishing.

If you're going to game exclusively, I would replace the video card (GPU) first. Then when funds are available again for an upgrade, step up to the latest and greatest CPU that you can afford.

That's my recommendation list for you. :)

Thanks for the advice, I use this pc for work in addition to gaming, and most of the motivation for the upgrade is to use a higher resolution monitor for both. I do also fiddle around with 3d modeling and game development as a hobby, so the inexpensive multi cores certainly wont hurt! But in any case, I'll probably end up upgrading both when I pull the trigger.

Seems that it is about the same for my setup at maximum. I checked taskmanagerr and not that many cores are used at all. They all have threads running while the demo plays but it uses between 3 to 5 cores/threads at some times with higher loads then 50%

I assumed that since this was a ps4 game it would be better optimized to use more cores than that. But I guess it just goes to show that using more cores is tricky business!

But the PS4 is different. The API is different in that approach from DX11 which does not have the capability to use more then one core at a time to send data/commands to the gpu.

Huh, didnt realize that. Hopefully the next ff game uses dx12 :) On the bright side, If its really only taxing 5 cores, then an r5 should do nearly as well as those r7s. And I suppose at the resolution I want to play at, its really going to be gpu-limited anyways, so its somewhat moot.

MMO games are glorified spreadsheets so CPU does matter. With that said, just a simple overclock of the 2500K will put you into the next tier of CPUs, so it's always better to get a better GPU. If you aren't utilizing your new GPU, as far as maintaining a constant load on it during large outdoor events and raids, then think about purchasing a new CPU.
