Testing Windows 11 23H2 Performance With Star Citizen
For those of you unaware, the new 23H2 patch that came out for Windows 11 contains an update for the CPU scheduler that gives rather large performance gains for Ryzen CPUs. Specifically 5000-9000 era CPUs, and particularly the X3D ones. But I've seen reports that even Zen2 CPUs are getting boosts in some games.
So I wanted to test what the effect would be in my favorite game, /starcitizen, and did some light benchmarking before and after installing the 23H2 patch.
My system:
- 5800X3D, air cooled, stock
- 32GB DDR4 3600 CL18
- Radeon 7900GRE on 24.7.1 drivers
- NVME drive
The specs I tested at:
- 1280x720 (to take weight off GPU) and 2560x1440
- Vulkan renderer, Upscaling OFF (I play with this on, and it gives me close to the 720p performance, but left off for testing)
- All graphics options at highest settings
