Benchmark Ryzen 5 1400/1500

[Rinuko]

Anyone own Ryzen 1400 or 1500 and can tell me your points? I'm build a gaming pc next month and can't decide if I should get quad or 6-core cpu - or save on cpu and get a better gpu

More than 4 cores are a waste of money if u wanna go exclusively for gaming ... until more Dx12 comes out.
Go for an i5 or i7 for better gaming experience.
Ryzen will bring you many problems if you don't know how to set up your ram & CPU .

Newest not always means the best.

You are welcome to tell me what problems i should expect with a Ryzen CPU.


Well you know, reason I'm picking Ryzen over i5 is two main reasons.
- AM4 is going to last longer
- LGA1151 will 99% be replaced with Gen 8 so I don't want to have to change mb and cpu in 2 years
- pricing. 1400 and 1500 is much cheaper than a 7600K not to talk about getting a 7700K

I have no problem to set up the CPU or tweak the speed on the ram but I dont want to waste money where it's not needed.
However. I mainly play this game (on PS4 right now) so I would want to know if it going to make a huge difference by going with a Ryzen 1400/1500 over say a 1600.

Also from what i read, yes team blue do better on single core but this game isnt a single core game

I have R5 1600. At stock clocks with the ram at 2933Mhz using a GTX 980ti I get 14000 on the Benchmark on Max @ 1080p.

That is at like 20% CPU usage. I would highly recommend the R5 1400 for the price point. FFXIV makes good use of the Hyperthreading to increase FPS in highly populated areas so I would recommend it over an i5. And for streaming it is a beast.

Thank you! That's good to know. I'll be using a RX 570 8GB so I don't think I'll have much problem to keep up if I go with a 1400 then.

Definitely not. I changed from an i7 4790 with 2666mhz Ram paired with my 980 ti and was only getting 13,400 on the benchmark. So the only bottleneck for me on Ryzen is the 980ti.

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
