    FM20 Performance Benchmarking Thread

    My new work desktop

    Type: Desktop

    CPU Model:Ryzen 9 3950X

    CPU Base Frequency: 3.5GHz

    CPU Turbo Frequency: 4.7 GHz

    RAM: 32GB

    RAM Clockspeed: 2933Mhz

    GPU: Radeon 5600XT

    Storage Type: SSD - Samsung 970 EVO Plus

    OS: Windows 10 1909 X64

    Benchmark A: 1 min 01 Sec

    Benchmark B: 6 min 25 Sec

    Benchmark C: 4 min 50 Sec

    That is interesting as in most games the Ryzen is really dependent on the RAM speed but not so much in FM it would seem as our times are really similar, even with an 800MHz ram difference and I’m guessing a 400MHz infinity fabric difference. Unless your 4 extra cores are being utilised 😀

    It’s nice to see more cores and threads being used when the detail is ramped up, the only issue is I think I’d rather use my processing power on more active leagues than compromise on less but with full detail 

    what do others think?

    I have found no noticeable speed difference by adding full detail to the 5 major European leagues and both European competitions on my save. I’m sure it is slower but it doesn’t feel it. Personally I like the added detail without loading the extra leagues. I currently have 20 nations and 30 leagues loaded. Hopefully one day FM will use more cores even more effectively so we don’t have to choose.

    Oh no!  I was slower in Benchmark C than @jonpt!  Must be time to build a new PC!

    Kidding.  Looks like C is more thread dependent.  It would be interesting to see how that scales.  Anyone have a 32 or 64-core Threadripper?

    Ha ha, I’m thinking the same about benchmark A and B

    it would be interesting to see if the extra cores would add anything. Mine wasn’t getting close to using all of the cores. I have an AIO cooler and the fans were in zero rpm mode for quite a while so it certainly wasn’t taxing the CPU that much.

    I would be happy to benchmark for a longer period of time but I can understand why others would not. 

    For full detail are you setting every match in every division in the countries or just the top league? Perhaps that could be the tweak, Otherwise a shorter time period would work. Ideally if the number of days were reduced the holiday would still be over a weekend so the leagues loaded would still have matches.

     

    Just thoughts.

    Okay i'm definitely thinking of setting up a Benchmarking thread for FM20 but i'm wondering what tests I should have

    I'm thinking maybe test what i imagine is one of the most common types of setup (England, Italy and Spain - Large database)

    so maybe

    1 - England, Italy and Spain all divisions active - Full detail on only the one active league

    2 - England, Italy and Spain all divisions active - Full detail 3 divisions

    3 - England, Italy and Spain all divisions active - Full detail 10 divisions

    This would be testing the multi core and threading of processors as i think we're at the point now where I don't really see the point of running the test with all leagues loaded as the results of the above will scale upwards anyway

    I have 4 computers in the house that are all different

    • An overclocked desktop
    • A 17 inch desktop replacement Laptop
    • A Windows Tablet
    • An Intel NUC that i use as a media centre through my TV

    This should give a nice variation of results

    I'll set up the 3 saves tonight and run them on my own kit to see how it goes first and report back

    What does everyone think?

    I've mentioned before though i'm crap at graphs and spreadsheets but i'm sure I can knock something up based on what has gone before

    I would be really interested to see how those scenarios would pan out. Especially the third file with 10 leagues in full detail.

    I have a desktop version of the Ryzen 5 and it performs really well. from what I can see looking at the way my processor utilises its cores you only get the benefit of the extra cores if the detail level is turned up. If I set the detail level to simulate all matches in a few leagues then all cores are fully utilised. If the detail levels are "default" then it tends to use one or two cores. 

    I would say either would be a good purchase for FM.  I also find that since FM has spikes of CPU intensity (eg when you press continue) then the boost clocks should be attainable as they will not be required to sustain a boost for more than say 30 seconds.

    Clock speed is king so go with whatever has the highest clock speed.
