CPU Scaling

CPU Scaling

If you are wondering, what would be the effect of a four-core versus an eight-core processor for this the game? Well, let's test just that a couple of procs!. I have a quick chart I would like to show you, the results below are based on default clock frequencies as well as a couple of tweaked processors. 

Above you can observe a bar chart, stacked based on resolutions and processors. All procs behave roughly in the same spectrum. Vulkan is just simply very efficient with any processor, even with a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, any difference starts to diminish once you pass a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Even at 1280x720 the difference between a stock Ryzen 7 1800X and a Core i7 4790K or tweaked Core i7 5960X is ~5% at best.

Above Ryzen 7 1800X. The proc is overclocked to 4.1 GHz here, but really Vulkan is very nicely threading the game over its 8 cores / 16 threads. That is as efficient as can be. Very nice.
