Just a heads up for zen 3 zen 4 owners

Power limits won't effect IL-2 performance unless you change to them to well below stock to like sub 50w or something ridiculously low. 

 

For x3d CO will give you a slight increase in single thread performance.

 

For tuning CO install core-cycler and change the settings file so

stressTestProgram = YCRUNCHER
mode = 00-x86
 

 What is "CO"? What does it mean?

the shared sheet usual result is avg 90...94 but mine is only 84

There is only one 10600K tested with current version of IL-2 (5.004) and the CPU test result is 99 fps.

 

If you have tested your 10600K for the CPU and achieved only 84, then you can review this items:

O yea also for zen 3 owners 
memory overclocking gets you 5%
and 2.5% if its a x3d (reduced because of cache)

 

not sure about effects on intel or zen 4 or ddr5
but probably similar

Could someone make a video and share it (youtube or google drive etc) for a test process with CPU i5 10600k ?

 

I have changed my mobo set but the result is lower as expected (in the shared sheet usual result is avg 90...94 but mine is only 84)

My previous cpu was i5 10600k and i had 99 average fps during 1080 cpu test as indicated in the spreadsheet BUT with 5.1 GHZ overclocked cpu speed and with a pair of fast ddr4 3200 MHZ 14-14-14-34 memory sticks... i have done only some basic overclocking using Intel Xtu tuning utility changing only all core multiplier to 51x and Vcore voltage offset a little...

Not sure that OC can improve it for 15%... Is it possible to get a video from your side (with a new CPU) just from the moment to start il2 and to finish test and show the result in the text file? Just want to see the whole routine how do you the test to repeat it myself:)

Yes those results you mentioned above are without i5 10600k overclocking , testing procedure is described at the first page of this topic and its straight forward...as i said before you have to take into account your RAM timings also...as soon as i go home i will check to find my Intel Xtu tuning  settings i think i have kept them as a screenshot somewhere..

Thank you for this test. It is the absolute record in the 4K test. That 4090 is a monster card!

And I still don´t know if the 4K test is still somehow being constrained by the CPU.

Do you run Windows 10 or Windows11?

Do you have VR?

Yes, Overcloking CPU (how somehow RAM) can give you extra juice. (when CPU is the bottleneck)

Look to DBCOOPER test at the table. He went from 5.5 to 6 and got +12fps in the CPU test.

 

I did some tests in the past which clearly confirmed the gains:

Hi yes it sure is a beast! W11 and Yes I have a Vive Pro with Glass Lens Mod. (no more halos and sharper image) Though I dont use it much these days. Will have to give it run soon though!

Here are my VivePro VR test results.  Might have to give VR another shot now it seems to be working properly!

Of note: Running Windows 11 here so I had to use the Nvidia Registry fix to disable Windows 11 Multiplane Overlay to stop massive stutters in VR. (pink lines of death in the Steam VR performance overlay!)

This is quite a nice VR performance! you have a top PC, definetely the 13900K coupled with a 4090 is the best PC today for high end VR devices.

Hey, many thanks for this. It is the first Zen4 CPU tested here!

On the CPU test you are around the 5800X3D but if I understood correctly without activating PBO, right? or with the "off" you were only referring to SMT?

 

Also, I didn´t specify the Pmax5KSuper %SS factor in the first post. I have corrected it now. The %SS should be 60% for te VRtest1 and 123% for the VRtest2. All at 90Hz.

 

Also, do you know the speed of your RAM? Just provided by CPU-Z tool.

 

[Dustybritches]

Only smt set disabled ,ram speed is 6000Mt and the 5K plus settings were used for the testing which should yield the same if not slightly less favorable results. Will edit post for corrections when time permits.

OK thanks. 

I was expecting a bit more on the CPU test for the ryzen 7700X. I really don´t know if the AMD GPU is constraining the CPU test somehow.

Ideally we should test the 7700X CPU with an Nvidia card, so we can compare with other CPUs.

 

Regarding the VR tests, the Pimax5KSuper uses different factors than the Pimax5K+. So, The Vr tests can not be published in the table. Sorry about that.

The VRtest1 should yield 9.5 million pixels in total and the VRtest2&3 shouldmove 19.5 million pixles in total.

[Dustybritches]

Well could you enlighten me with the formula to calculate the pixel count for the 5K plus as well as the 5K super so I can get it right?

I followed this thread at OC.net to tune my 13700KF. Works good for keeping the temps as low as possible and also get good single core performance. You got an awesome CPU for 1.137V stock at 55x allcore. I think I run 1.25v on mine at that ratio...

Many many thanks for running the tests for this most awaited CPU.

The CPU test gave a very nice mark for an out-of-box chip, on pair with the top chips of 13th gen. What CPU cooling system do you use?

 

Regarding the two VRtests you did, it is not clear to me how they correspond to the VRtest1, VRtest2 and VRtest3 defined in the instructions.

 

As per the instructions, the VRtest1 and VRtest2 use the same CPUtest settings but with different %SS (supersampling or custom render scale how it is called in OpenXR).

For the Reverb G2, the %SS to use is 50% for the VRtest1 and 100% for the VRtest2.

What custom render scale did you used in your "VRTEST WITH 1080P SETTINGS"?

 

As per the instructions, then the VRtest3 uses the same seetings than VRtest2 (so, CPUtest settings & 100%SS) but adding cloudextreme and MSAAX8.

The 4Ktest Settings are not used in any VR test.

 

Is that clear or have I complicated more?

Ah ok, hopefully I did not mess up the VR ones but I did not touch my G2 resolution at all; so whatever it is natively (I assume 100%?) is what I ran both tests with. I used the CPU 1080p settings for VRtest1 and then just added extreme clouds and MSAA x8 for VRtest2. So I skipped the one that required any adjusting of my native rendering on the G2.

OK then. If it is 100% then your first VRtest would correspond tot he VRtest2 and your second exactly to the VRtest3.

I am not familiar with OpenXR toolkit (I have been always using SteamVR since I use the Index).

Do you know where you can see the render scale you use or the pixels per eye in OpenXR?

[chiliwili69]

It looks like you can see it in Settings:

 

Does anybody know if for the G2 when you put 100% in OpenXR for WMR Custom Render scale the resolution per eye is then around 3162x3093 (so 19.5 million pixels in total)?

I just checked in Open XR toolkit and the per eye resolution is showing as 3168x3096. In OpenXR tools for WMR, I do not have the custom render box checked, so it should be defaulted to 100. Hope that helps!

[=SRS=SLaXOR]

Hi guys. I'm getting interesting results when overclocking my i7-7700k. When I get from 4.5Ghz to 4.8Ghz (no change to Ucore nor memory clocks) I got around 8-9 FPS extra in 1080 CPU test. But going any higher (I tried 4.9-5.1) I'm not getting any extra FPS at all. Basically max performance stays at 4.8 level. Anyone has any ideas why it may be the case? I also tried to increase uncore to 4.5 but no improvements as well.

Thanks in advance.

Since you use openxr toolkit, i think that the resolution which is indicated inside openxr toolkit is what finally matters.

Hi guys. I'm getting interesting results when overclocking my i7-7700k. When I get from 4.5Ghz to 4.8Ghz (no change to Ucore nor memory clocks) I got around 8-9 FPS extra in 1080 CPU test. But going any higher (I tried 4.9-5.1) I'm not getting any extra FPS at all. Basically max performance stays at 4.8 level. Anyone has any ideas why it may be the case? I also tried to increase uncore to 4.5 but no improvements as well.

Thanks in advance.

 

My hardware:

i7-7700K / RTX4080/ 32GB DDR4 3000@CL15 / Quest 2

i think that's normal, the same thing happened to me while overclocking, after achieving 5.1 ghz from O.C i didnt get any more fps gain from further overclocking.

Ok thanks.

Then your first test was VRtest2 and the second was VRtest3.  In the VRtest2 you are on pair with the 13700K and 13900K CPU, but in the VRtest3 you are well above (69fps) the other test of a 13900K (45fps).

 

BTW, did you activated PBO in the BIOS?

What CPU cooling do you use (liquid, air, what model)?

 

And just in case you want to experiment a bit more, have you tried to disable the CCD1 to see if it gives you an extra performance in IL-2?

In the past I was also experimenting with my previous Intel CPU (now I am on a Ryzen 5600X,  thinking to upgrade).

Here you can see my results, but I remember that when trying to go further the gain was not the same.

I think this could be some bottleneck of the CPU (throtling because Amps limit, or power limit) or perhaps internal bandwiths of the CPU. But I really didn´t know.

I have the same effect on the i9-7900X. At a certain frequency, the CPU starts internal throttling during the game even if you set higher frequencies. In my case that happens even if I disable cores down to four. 4.7ish GHz is about the top it will reach even when set to 4.9.

[=SRS=SLaXOR]

When you say "throttling", do you mean CPU freq throttling? I don't see on graph - freq stays at 5.1 all the time. Also other benchmark shows improved performance at higher freq but not IL2 1080 test.

[dgiatr]

So after doing all tests 1080 cpu, vrtest1, vrtest2 and vrtest3 with my new cpu and some basic cpu overclocking here are my results :

 

Motherboard: Asus z690 P D4
CPU: i9 13900kf
CPU Freq: 5900 Mhz, OCTVB to boost1 , (P cores 2x59, 4x58, 6x57, 8x56 and E cores to: 16x44)
Cores: 8P, 16E
Threads: 32
RAM: 16 GB DDR4
RAM Freq: 3200 Mhz XMPI
NB Freq: 4600 Mhz
RAM timings: 14 14 14 34
GPU: 3090 Ti with default clocks 

 

Basically, at the beginning i have done some cpu undervolting in order to achieve lower temps from my stock cpu BIOS settings using the following BIOS settings :

 

• MCE=Enforce All Limits
• LLC#4
• DC_LL = 0.70 ( only with that setting vid core matches to v core....)
• AC_LL = 0.12
• IA VR Voltage limit = AUTO

 

and after that i created frequency groups for P-Cores and done some "thermal opportunity" overclocking by setting OCTVB to : +1Boost,

so my P cores work to the following combinations: 2x59, 4x58, 6x57, 8x56 and E cores to: 16x44.

 

Generally i dont run any other heavy multi core applications in my P.C. and with that settings I dont suffer from any instability issues playing heavy il2 scenarios with G2

 

So with that settings i get only about 3 more fps during Synvander 1080 cpu test comparing to 1080 cpu test with stock cpu bios settings BUT my cpu runs WAY MORE cooler than before with no thermal throttling at all during dense il2 playing with G2 headset.

 

So :

Frames: 9348 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 155.800 - Min: 136 - Max: 199

 

as you can see i dont get any more fps during 1080 cpu test , i also suffer from thermal throttling during heavy il2 playing.

 

I also suspect that i cannot get more fps than 157 due to DDR4 memory plus mobo d4 combination?

Looks like it's time for me to change my 12900k to at least 13700k.

Wow!,  Thank so much for taking the time to perform all those test after adjusting your CPU settings.

All your results are well aligned with the other 13th gen, even with DDR5.

It is very interesting and illustrative all the tests done with SteamVR. It is amazing the free improvement you get just by using OC/XR in all the tests. You showed that quite well.

 

I am only curious about your Uncore frequency (1600). Is there any way to increase that in the Intel platform? (I don´t know if it would have any impact on performance).

[thermoregulator]

I wanted to try to benchmark 7590x3d. The benchmark mission does not load and all it says is "Mission description is loading". Any ideas?

 

Edit: Ok, it works. I have still some issues with fps capped on 120 Hz, so no results yet.

Sorry my mistake! NB freq is 4600 Mhz not 1600 Mhz ,

 

i changed that so you can change it in your online sheet..

 

Thank you for your remark!

Is your monitor a 120Hz monitor?  (Remember that Fraps always shows the monitor freq, either 60 or 120 or whatever, before you launch the mission. While you run the mission is uncaped).
