We’re again with one other large Spider-Man Remastered benchmark, this time specializing in CPU efficiency. Last week we threw 43 GPUs on the sport to see which fashions carried out the perfect of their respective worth ranges, however famous on the time that CPU efficiency additionally gave the impression to be an actual concern for this sport, with very excessive utilization seen with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
Following that efficiency evaluate, many readers reported seeing a lot decrease efficiency than what was proven with the 5800X3D, and also you have been after all utilizing a slower processor, however now we will get a great have a look at simply how a lot distinction your CPU could make relating to body charges in Spider-Man Remastered.
For this CPU benchmark take a look at we’ll be utilizing the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and Game Ready show drivers 516.94. We’ll be testing at 1080p, but additionally 1440p and 4K, utilizing a spread of high quality settings together with the medium preset, very excessive, after which a ray tracing configuration utilizing the prime quality preset, so there’s a great deal of knowledge to go over.
On the reminiscence entrance, all CPUs have been examined utilizing dual-rank, dual-channel DDR4-3200 CL14 reminiscence, so it is an apples-to-apples comparability by way of reminiscence efficiency. That stated, we have now included a second configuration for the Core i9-12900K utilizing DDR5-6400.
When in comparison with the GPU benchmark, we have tweaked our CPU move, it is very comparable however we have included a number of fast twitches with an internet swing on the finish. So with that allow’s get into the outcomes…
Benchmarks
Medium Quality 1080p, 1440p, 4K
First up we have now the medium high quality preset knowledge at 1080p, and we’ll begin from the highest the place we discover the 12900K utilizing DDR5-6400 reminiscence permitting for 175 fps on common, which is a 17% enchancment when in comparison with the DDR4-3200 configuration.
The 5800X3D which we used for the GPU benchmark is slower than the DDR5-enabled 12900K, trailing by a 7% margin with 162 fps on common. That stated, it was 8% quicker than the 12900K when utilizing the identical DDR4 reminiscence.
As you might need anticipated, the Intel Alder Lake CPUs outperform the usual Zen 3 elements, however in such a CPU intensive sport you may not have anticipated the 12600K to match the 5950X and the E-core disabled 12400 to come back in forward of the 12400F.
Quite surprisingly, the Eleventh-gen Core processors additionally carried out very well because the 11900K will be seen matching the 5900X which is not exceptional, however half the time the 11900K finally ends up slower than the 10900K. The Core i7-11700K and Ryzen 7 5800X will also be seen neck and neck that means the 12700K was 16% quicker than AMD’s 8-core Zen 3 half when utilizing the identical reminiscence.
The 5600X and 11600K are additionally discovered delivering an analogous stage of efficiency, although the 1% lows of the 6-core Zen 3 half have been barely stronger, and far stronger than the 10-core 10900K. It’s fascinating to see the 5600X beating the 10900K and delivering virtually 10% better 1% low efficiency after all of the speak of video games needing extra cores, particularly in what seems to be probably the most CPU intensive video games we have ever seen.
That’s to not say the 8, 12 and 16-core Zen 3 CPUs aren’t quicker, they clearly are, however the 5600X had no difficulty delivering excessive refresh price efficiency with out a hitch.
Interestingly, the 4-core / 8-thread Core i3-12100 additionally managed to ship completely playable easy efficiency with 115 fps on common. We performed the sport for about half an hour with this CPU simply to see what it was like and the numbers do not lie, the Core i3 was flawless regardless of a continuing utilization of over 90% and sometimes being maxed out.
It was additionally intriguing to see the i3-12100 beating the Core i7-10700K, Intel’s Tenth-gen is not significantly spectacular on this sport regardless of working nicely sufficient.
The backside half of the graph is dominated by AMD. The major clarification is that we did not take a look at many low-end or older Intel CPUs as it is a severe ache within the bottom. All the AMD CPUs examined right here have been finished with a single take a look at system utilizing the MSI X570S Carbon Max motherboard. For Intel, we have been pressured to make use of three totally different take a look at methods for the outcomes proven, and if I needed to return to first-gen Ryzen we might want yet one more take a look at system.
We already know elements such because the Core i5-7600K are finished for, so we did not need to spend one other day flogging that useless horse. So we’re not basing AMD right here, slightly we’re saying Intel older CPUs are too tough and too sluggish to even trouble with.
With that disclaimer out of the way in which, let’s proceed… the Ryzen 5 5500 and Ryzen 7 3800X and 5700G have been all good for round 106 – 108 fps in our take a look at, with comparable 1% low efficiency. Then we have now the Core i5-10400F roughly matching the Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 3 3300X and Ryzen 5 5600G, all with round 100 fps on common.
The previous Core i3-10105F which is mainly the identical because the 10100 managed to crack the 90 fps barrier, which remains to be very playable on this title and that put it alongside the Ryzen 3 5300G. Old Zen+ elements such because the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X carried out poorly relative to extra trendy processors, however we’re nonetheless 78 fps on common with 1% lows of 63 fps when paired with prime quality reminiscence.
The first-gen Ryzen CPUs which might be going up in opposition to Intel Seventh-gen dropped beneath 60 fps for the 1% lows, so you may definitely discover some sluggish downs for those who’re used to 60 fps-plus.
We’re not going to pour over the 1440p medium knowledge as we’re nonetheless closely CPU restricted and due to this fact the info does not change a lot. We’re very comparable margins and round a 3% decline in efficiency on the high-end because the RTX 3090 Ti drops a number of frames on the increased decision, so let’s transfer on to 4K now…
The sport turns into extra GPU certain at 4K as anticipated, although that is solely true when utilizing a high-end CPU. Interestingly, the 5800X3D overtakes the Core i9-12000K right here, even when pairing the Intel CPU with DDR5 reminiscence. The margin may be very small although, only a 3% win for the 5800X3D.
The Core i9-12900K was additionally 4% quicker utilizing the DDR5-6400 reminiscence versus DDR4-3200, so for these of you utilizing a high-end GPU focusing on excessive resolutions reminiscent of 4K, which we assume you’d do for a single participant motion journey sport, reminiscence efficiency is way much less of a problem.
The 5950X was just like the 12600K and 11900K, pushing 130 fps whereas the 5900X was simply 3 fps slower, matching the less expensive 12400F, a private favourite of ours.
Further down, we discover the 5600X with 117 fps and though that solely made it barely quicker than the 11400, it did outpace the 10900K. The Core i3-12100 was once more spectacular with robust 1% low efficiency and 112 fps on common.
Below that we discover the 10700K, 9900K and 10600K all delivering comparable efficiency with simply over 100 fps on common. The Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 7 3800X and 5700G additionally delivered an analogous stage of efficiency. Again, it isn’t till we get to the Zen and Zen+ elements that efficiency begins to drop away.
Very High Quality – 1080p, 1440p, 4K
Moving to the very prime quality preset, we’ll as soon as once more begin with 1080p outcomes. Once once more, the 12900K utilizing DDR5-6400 reminiscence topped our chart, this time with 165 fps making it 7% quicker than the 5800X3D and 17% quicker than its DDR4-3200 configuration. That means when utilizing the identical DDR4 reminiscence, the 5800X3D was truly 9% quicker than the 12900K.
But it additionally signifies that the 12900K, 12700K and 12600K are all a great bit quicker than the non-3D V-Cache Zen 3 processors, such because the 5950X, 5900X, 5800X and 5600X. The 8, 12 and 16-core Zen 4 processors all delivered mainly the identical consequence with the 5600X dropping off the tempo a little bit to come back in 6% slower, however once more body pacing was good.
Intel’s Eleventh-gen was once more spectacular and the 11400 sport in simply behind the 5600X, as did the Twelfth-gen Core i3-12100. The a lot older Intel’s Tenth-gen wasn’t significantly spectacular and the 10-core 10900K could not even beat the 5600X.
Further down, we see that the Ryzen 5 5500 was in a position to beat the Core i5-10600K and the Ryzen 5 3600 matched the typical body price of the Core i5-10400F, however delivered a lot stronger 1% lows. The Ryzen 5 5300G carried out surprisingly nicely and simply outperformed the Core i3-10105F, significantly when trying on the 1% lows. At the very backside of our graph we discover the Zen and Zen+ processors with sub 60 fps 1% lows.
The 1440p knowledge may be very a lot CPU restricted as soon as once more and due to this fact the outcomes do not change all that a lot. We see a little bit of motion on the high finish, however apart from that the standings and margins are a lot the identical to what was simply proven at 1080p utilizing the very prime quality preset. This means for a lot of of you with a mid-range to high-end GPU, reducing the standard settings will not truly enhance your body price when taking part in Spider-Man Remastered.
Most CPUs such because the Core i9-10900K dropped simply 2fps when going from 1080p to 1440p, after which we noticed simply an 8 fps discount from 1440p medium to very excessive, so that you may as nicely crank up these visuals and benefit from the single participant title in all of its glory.
Once we attain 4K the sport turns into GPU restricted, even with an excessive high-end graphics card such because the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. We nonetheless see an enchancment in 1% lows, however they don’t seem to be almost as important as what was proven when extra CPU restricted at decrease resolutions reminiscent of 1080p and 1440p.
The 1% lows of the 12400F, for instance, trailied the DDR5 enabled 12900K by simply an 8% margin right here whereas at 1440p that margin was 26%. The Zen 3 CPUs topped out at 108 fps which is simply 2 fps lower than that of the Intel CPUs, although we’re seeing barely slower 1% lows of as much as 6 fps.
It’s price noting that from the Core i3-12100 and up you’d have a tough time telling any of those configurations aside underneath these take a look at circumstances, which frankly we might contemplate to be essentially the most real-world testing proven to date for somebody utilizing an RTX 3090 Ti.
Closely following the 12100 we discover the 11400, 10900K, 10700K and 9900K, all of which delivered extremely playable efficiency. The Ryzen 7 5700G and Ryzen 5 5500 have been additionally there, each delivering robust 1% low efficiency.
Then for round 90 fps the Ryzen 3 5300G, 3300X, 5600G, 10400F, 3600 and 3800X have been all proper across the mark. The Core i3-10105F did have some consistency points, as did the Zen and Zen+ processors.
Enabling Ray Tracing
As you’ll anticipate, enabling ray tracing even with the marginally dialed down ‘excessive’ high quality preset vastly reduces body charges, even at 1080p. But as many have famous, this does enhance CPU utilization additional. Given that these outcomes may shock you.
Despite the upper CPU utilization, decrease core rely CPUs do not undergo. The Core i3-12100, for instance, was simply 6% slower than the 12400F and you’ll attribute that to the distinction in cache capability slightly than core rely. It’s the identical deal when Zen 3 processors, the 5600X is now a lot nearer to the 5800X, 5900X and 5950X, mainly matching them.
Despite that, the DDR5-enabled Core i9-12900K runs away with the prize, delivering virtually 20% extra efficiency than the 5800X3D and an enormous 36% enchancment over its DDR4 configuration.
As far as we are able to inform, enabling ray tracing on this sport considerably will increase the quantity of visitors crossing the PCI Express bus. It additionally will increase the quantity of RAM used and due to this fact the quantity of information being shifted out and in of reminiscence. So though CPU utilization has elevated, it seems as if reminiscence bandwidth is the first bottleneck for many processors.
Throwing extra cores on the downside is not the answer, which is a bit stunning given the sport will unfold the load fairly nicely throughout even 12 cores, however like most video games it does seem like major thread dependent.
That means particular person core efficiency is essential and it is why the 12900K is so quick relative to the 5950X, for instance. It’s additionally why the 5950X, 5900X, 5800X and 5600X are all very comparable, whereas the distinction in efficiency between the Twelfth-gen Core processors will be largely attributed to L3 Cache capability.
Looking at CPU utilization alone, we had anticipated the Core i3-12100 to crumble, however that wasn’t the case and actually it comfortably beat the 10-core Core i9-10900K, suggesting that IPC is king right here slightly than core rely, inside motive after all.
More proof of this may be seen with AMD’s APUs, the 5700G has 8-cores/16-threads however half the L3 cache of the Zen 3 CPU fashions such because the 5600X which have been virtually 20% quicker. The 5300G halves its cache once more and that is possible why the 5700G was 15% quicker.
The older Zen and Zen+ processors aren’t significantly spectacular relating to reminiscence efficiency and just like the APUs in addition they lack PCIe 4.0 help, which might be taking part in a job right here. Despite packing 8-cores / 16-threads, the 1800X and 2700X actually battle on this title.
As was proven earlier than, transferring to 1440p from 1080p does little to vary the margins and this was additionally true with ray tracing enabled. The Core i9-12900K DDR5 configuration was a lot quicker than the DDR4 model, in addition to AMD’s 5800X3D. Then the remainder of the outcomes which have been very closely CPU restricted remained virtually the identical.
Now as we transfer to 4K, the sport turns into more and more GPU restricted on the high-end, however nonetheless very a lot CPU restricted for the majority of the outcomes. The GPU restrict on the high-end means the DDR5 configuration for the 12900K provided little or no profit over DDR4 and that the 5800X3D was in a position to roughly match its efficiency.
Then the Core i7-12700K and Zen 3 processors all delivered about the identical stage of efficiency, together with the 12600K and even the 12400F. The subsequent tier down managed to take care of 60 fps for the 1% low and this included the 12100, 11900K, 11700K and 11600K.
The Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 5 3600 additionally managed to interrupt the 60 fps barrier for the 1% lows. In truth, many of the CPUs examined delivered passable efficiency underneath these take a look at circumstances with the exceptions being the Core i3-10105F and Zen and Zen+ CPUs.
Resizable BAR on/off
Before wrapping up the testing, here is a have a look at how Resizable BAR influences efficiency in Spider-Man Remastered and as you’ll be able to see it does not.
Results must be the identical with or with out this PCI Express characteristic enabled which is true of most video games. The solely main exception could be for Intel Arc GPUs which can possible profit from the know-how, however this is not true for Radeon or GeForce GPUs, we’re exhibiting the Radeon RX 6800 XT right here.
Memory Performance
DDR4
Now here is a have a look at DDR4-3200 CL14 efficiency in a single-rank after which the dual-rank configuration that we used for testing. As we have discovered prior to now, dual-rank reminiscence sometimes gives good efficiency positive aspects in video games and right here we’re an 8% uplift at 1080p and 6% at 1440p, definitely not huge however nonetheless spectacular given frequency and timings stay the identical.
Now here is a have a look at some low-cost DDR4-3800 CL19 modules versus our dual-rank DDR4-3200 CL14 reminiscence. This time we’re a 10-12% efficiency benefit utilizing our take a look at configuration over excessive clocked, but additionally increased latency reminiscence.
Finally, we needed to take a fast have a look at PCI Express efficiency with the Core i9-12900K utilizing DDR5-6400 reminiscence. For a little bit of context, the largest distinction we have seen beforehand utilizing an RTX 3080 between PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 was about 5%, although admittedly we’ve not checked out this for fairly a while.
We have been shocked to discover a 9% efficiency enchancment at 1080p utilizing PCIe 4.0 over 3.0, that is fairly a big margin. Of course, as we have discovered prior to now, that margin virtually solely evaporates at 4K the place we’re driving fewer frames. Still, the 1080p outcomes have been eye opening and it means for these of you utilizing not simply slower DDR reminiscence but additionally an older PCIe interface will be sacrificing various efficiency.
This is probably another excuse why Intel’s Tenth-gen carried out a bit weaker than anticipated as they’re restricted to PCIe 3.0.
A Word About Stuttering
Something lots of people talked about within the GPU benchmark feedback was that Spider-Man Remastered has loads of efficiency associated points, from body stuttering to reminiscence leaks. We definitely do not doubt these claims for a second as there isn’t any scarcity of stories on-line, however we are able to inform you that we bumped into no such points, both taking part in the sport which we have finished now for a number of hours utilizing numerous configurations, or from our detailed benchmarking.
The sport has been buttery easy for us, except for a number of older configurations utilizing Zen and Zen+ processors, and we might anticipate the expertise to be dramatically worse with the likes of the older Core i5-7600K because the Core i3-10105F — which is mainly a 7700K, which is mainly a 6700K — wasn’t excellent.
We can’t inform you why our expertise was so flawless to what many are reporting, as at all times with computer systems it might be any variety of issues from the precise {hardware} configuration to what we do or haven’t got put in in Windows.
Hopefully although patches proceed to deal with any efficiency associated points. Assuming you are within the clear like we’re, most CPUs will allow a great gaming expertise, significantly newer fashions. AMD’s Zen 3 CPU vary carried out nicely, as did Intel Eleventh and Twelfth-gen collection.
It was fascinating to see how the sport behaved with ray tracing enabled, and for those who have been to have a look at CPU utilization alone, you would be given the mistaken impression. Provided you’ve 4 cores with 8 threads on a contemporary processor, the sport ought to run simply effective. Rather, the bottom line is IPC efficiency with a heavy emphasis on reminiscence and PCIe bandwidth, or a minimum of that was the case with the 12900K.
We most likely need not waffle on any longer, the outcomes have stated all of it. This was an enormous enterprise so we hope you discovered the outcomes fascinating, we all know we did and Spider-Man Remastered is now going to hitch the numerous video games we take a look at with frequently.
