But... isn't the main purpose of a benchmark to push the system to its limits? I can't complain about the performance of the game, it runs good enough but why keeping the CPU underutilized even in benchmark which suppose to measure the raw performance to assess what's keeping up and what's not or to compare?
Thank you for appreciation of my choice, it's my first AMD after 14 years of Intel. My old 7700K was old enough and it dragged the RTX 3080 down quite a bit.
A very strange result:
After upgrading my CPU from i7 7700K + Z270 motherboard to Ryzen 7 5800x + X570 motherboard there was no improvement in average fps in benchmark. Both benchmarks are stuck at 81 fps but while the i7 was at 79-85% utilization, the Ryzen barely reach 40% but much of the time is under 35%. It is intended to work like that - caped at 80 fps - or it's a bug with the new Ryzen 5000?
I ran other benchmarks, synthetics and in-game and there is a clear difference. In Valhalla, there is none.
I was able to beat Cordelia way underpowered (I am 150-160 right now) because she didn't move at all. She took all of my blows without even evading. The ragdoll wasn't broken, her body still reacted to my hits but nothing more. I was able to get her dagger (I had auto loot skill) and the event was registered but the challenge didn't register. It still says 2 out of 3.
