Benchmark Ryzen 5 1400/1500

Definitely not. ...was only getting 13,400 on the benchmark...

You still are over the esport-grade 60fps, the only problem I see is scoring less in the benchmark scoreboard, that is imo just a ego-boost thing. Anything over 9000 is overkill, when it comes to play the game.

Having a system doing more than 9000 is not overkill for some of the other games you might play on PC, however.

Agree on that, exists games requiring trice the power to run. But the context here was about a less expensive cpu, so I guessed the main goal is have no worries about playing XIV with a less expensive cpu.

Oh definitely. I was just using that as an example of how well a Ryzen 1400 would do for the price point.

Here's a link for someone using an Intel i5 6500 and a GTX 1070 getting a score of 12363 on the SB Bench. The 1070 should get a bit higher than a GTX 980ti ~14,500-15,000 on the Bench.

So technically you could get a R5 1400 for $50 less and have better performance which I think is simply due to he added CMT (Hyperthreading) compared to just getting an i5
