Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Sol Survivor — Testing on an i5-6500 + RX 6600 8GB — 1080p — Will It Play? — Former Member Exclusive”.
Hello and welcome to Tech deals. This is Soul Survivor. You are all awesome for being supporters of the channel, and this is a bonus video because I can. This is a tower defense game similar to defense grid Awakening. It is better and worse in some regards than that game.
I have played this extensively and I love the fact that it has a basically endurance mode where you survive until you’re completely overwhelmed by the enemy. I play this whenever I just need to chill out and relax we’re playing this on the I5 6500 featuring the RX 6600. It’S all frankly kind of overkill for this, but we are not in fact getting 5000 frames per second, which I do find kind of interesting. I do have the detail cranked up to Max, but it’s not the graphics card.
That’S the issue, it’s the CPU. We are getting 60 frames per second now. Vsync may be forced on here, and this is probably why we’re only getting 60 frames per second, I don’t turn vsync on when I do benchmarks, but in this case sometimes games just won’t run faster than the speed of your monitor, no matter what you do and If you look really carefully you’ll notice, we’re not running faster than 60 hertz, and the monitor I do my benchmarks on is the 60hz Monitor and, of course, the video capture card is only recording at 60 frames a second and so there’s that, but before you all Scream and shout and say it’s worthless, I’m going to show you the end of this battle when it is not running at 60 frames per second, these kind of games when they get quite busy can be fairly demanding and you’ll see the CPU Spike at various times. I don’t really have anything else to say about this other than I like playing this game.
I figured I’d test it on the I5 and, of course, it runs fine on Modern machines. Benchmarking, this on a 3900k is pointless and a waste of time, but it’s kind of interesting sometimes to go back and go. How well does this run on an i5 6500 well well enough, but not as good as it kind of would have thought it would have given how old it is and given what it is.
Let’S move along to later in the battle Yeah, you can see. There’S a lot of towers and a lot of enemies to shoot, and you will notice that the frame rate has dropped to an average of 44 frames per second and we’re getting a real time frame rate of 39 at the moment. Now this is the survival mode.
The screen is far busier than it would be in the campaign, but it’s interesting to see how a relatively simple game can be relatively demanding on the CPU. This is also a good point, of course, members who follow me, you guys are special. You get the message. You you’ve heard me say this a hundred times just because the CPU is not at 100 doesn’t mean the CPU is not a bottleneck. The CPU is at 50, because this is a two core two Thread game. This game doesn’t use four threads.
It doesn’t use four cores, and so that’s why it’s stuck here at 50, but it is using all of the two cores it’s using. What it really wants is a higher clock, speed or a higher per core performance now being a tower defense game. This is not necessarily a click Fest.
The truth is, is that 30 or 40 frames? A second actually is just fine. I didn’t have any problems playing, and this would not prevent me from playing and enjoying this game and, of course, you would not get performance. This low, when you are playing the normal campaign, this is survivor mode with entirely too many things going on.
However, turning the graphic detail down is not going to make a look a difference, because, after all, in fact, I just saw the rx6600 dropped to 200 megahertz. You could run this on integrated Graphics. The video card is so bored. In fact, I really should disable the video card and try running this on the Intel, integrated Graphics. It probably would run a little slower than this, but it probably would be just fine. Some games are just very CPU demanding, and this is one of them regardless. Thank you all so much for being supporters of the channel. It is greatly appreciated. Let me know in the comment section below what you think or just say: hi and you are all awesomely appreciated. You’Ll have a wonderful fantastic day and I will see all of you next time. Foreign .
