Much love guys for the support to the thread and the community <3

Agree CPU was with me for a while and it's time to upgrade..

Again, thank you

You’re gonna need a new motherboard to go with your new CPU, which also more than likely means upgrading to DDR4. Lucky for you, you missed out on the price gouging of the last 2yrs and can get decent sticks at reasonable prices.

Just throwing this out there, found something that helped me with ffxi performance. Using rivatuner to cap fps to 70 and let windower run unlimited fps has given be constant smooth 70 fps. Even with this powerful rig I would slow down multi boxing. For some reason using this combination has made gameplay like butta.

Get an AMD 2700X or better and you will be fine :D

Has anybody tried setting the CPU affinity to the different instances to different cores?

I previously had a 8700k and I quad-boxed on a private server for a while. All instances at 1920x1080. I never had an issue.

From my experience anything AMD with XI just results in frequent crashes for whatever reason. I haven't had a good run on an AMD build that hasn't resulted in multiple crashes over the course of a week yet my intel build could go from patch to patch without so much as a hiccup, maybe that's changed with AMDs more recent products. Spec for spec the only difference between the two were the cpu.

Exactly the opposite for me. I recently switched from an i7 to a Ryzen 7 and guess what : no more crashes !

I recently upgraded from a 3770k to a 3700X, no issues.

That said, I have had AMD systems that were more troublesome. The first time I tried building AMD, the board/CPU went back and I just bought a Pentium 4. With that, and the Opteron system I had later, the issues were far more about the chipset than the CPU. Something that hasn't been as much of a problem since AMD started making their own.

Must be something u do, maybe? I have been playing (6box), on Ryzen 7 1800X, Threadripper 1950X, Ryzen 7 2700X and latest on a 3700X. All of those have been working fine with multibox and other work at same time.

Reading comprehension is hard, thread ripper is a 2 year old architecture for AMD in comparison to their previous line up of AMD FX chips.

Lemme bold the hard part for you

I wish I could go through my day cherry picking what I want to read and not look like a buffoon when trying to talk about it.

Lol kay, if u are talking about the era before Ryzen, then it is a different story.
But that been said, that shouldnt be relevant, imo. Why would anyone even concider buying a cpu that old? ;)

Exactly AMD’s reputation is not what it used to be. The Ryzen series is pretty remarkable especially for tasks outside of gaming. Not to mention the value for the dollar. AMD GPUs on the other hand is a different story; while decent Nvidia is still on a lofty perch.

That being said I have an i7 8700 but it was free and I’m pretty happy with it.

You described an extremely common "degradation" of CPUs directly in your "well ackckckcktuallllyyyyyy" answer. +1

If you want to be technical, the CPU's capabilities haven't changed. You wouldn't say a fan has degraded because it kept the room comfortable in spring, but failed in an Arizona summer. The CPU still works every bit the same, it's environment has just become warmer and it's specced to use less power in a warmer environment. So, no, the CPU hasn't degraded. The cooling around it has changed.

The truth is that a 10 year old CPU will work every bit as well as it did on day 1, provided it can stay cool. A bit of dusting and a reapplication of thermal paste will have the CPU working as good as new, that just may not be good enough for this guy's desired usage.

It's an important distinction, because an average user will hear 'your cpu has degraded' as 'buy a new cpu, shits old and busted'. They will hear 'may have dust or need new thermal paste' as 'dust your ***out and find someone who can redo the thermal paste'.


(If you're actually interested in the topic, any real/permanent degradation will manifest as BSOD or instability, not speed loss, and can be remedied by lowering clock speeds or increasing voltage. A stationary machine that isn't overclocked is likely to go well over 50 years before this happens, though other parts would have died long beforehand. If your PC is running reliably at stock clocks, no matter how slow it feels, your CPU has not lost any speed. The loss is from software like intel turbo boost that applies minor heat-based overclocks in real time.. more heat means it will do less overclocking.)

I read what you said, you still shouldn't do that. You should just have the frd set to 1.

Naw its way smoother at 70, at least for me and a few others. What are you worried about?

You should never run with it uncapped. I'm not sure if that utility fixes the issues it causes but it's not recommended.

That being said: I laugh at the absurdity.

Anyone have any tips for getting the game to feel a little smoother. I have dg vodoo, i7, 1080ti blah blah. So I should be able to hit 60 fps but Jeuno just sucks and don't get me started on aAoulin even with shadows off.

Yes you set windower to uncap then have rivatuner cap you at 70, from mine and others experience it makes a smoother gameplay instead of stuck at 60 fps. Not for everyone but was something for OP to try.
