most things come in pairs or force or even singles but not threes three is just weird that's it's rare but not impossible my Hyundai Veloster Turbo has three doors there's a band called three doors down and third time is definitely the charm so let's try this out with a modern CPU this is part three of four where we fittingly simulate a triple core gaming experience because why not I want to be this in part one but I'm going to do it again because reinforcement so click advance down at the bottom right and then I click advanced again then you're going to see CPU configuration can you kind of see that it's a little overexposed let me fix that there we go CPU configuration let's click that and then scroll down ways now you see here hyper threading and active processor cores so for this scenario here we're going to disable hyper threading and then we're going to enable only three cores so we're gonna have three physical cores running but no hyper threading up up here to the top click exit click Save Changes and reset double check the settings you've changed are correct here in this final little notification and then click OK you can check and make sure everything's cool by opening up something like hardware monitor and scrolling down to utilizations here it's going to show you the CPU basically all your threads and right now we're seeing CPU 0 cpu 2 and CPU 4 1 3 & 5 are the respective hyper threads because we have hyper threading disabled all you're seeing here is 0 2 & 4 indicating three physical cores working right now so something I haven't done the last two parts but that I will do starting now I guess for the last two it shows CPU usages while we're running the benchmark so that's really not focusing the sunlight is like just blasting the screen okay so everything's exactly the same I know that because for one leg and tells which by looking at the memory usage it's exactly the same so yeah here we go no advanced graphics oops forgot to start fraps ok now we're going to start the benchmark okay so this is definitely good stuff I'm not really surprised because it ran perfectly fine on two cores I have several videos covering Pentiums and i3 is running GTA 5 so right now three cores really shouldn't change much it's just odd to have a three core processor doing this work because you really don't see many three core processors being sold anymore you can see as we're benchmarking the game CPU usage is well it's fairly high higher than it normally is look at that 100% we are maxed out right now assuming in it's been pegged at 100% this entire time we are definitely CPU bound in the scenario okay so now we're going to benchmark city skylines pay special attention to raps counter up here in the top left corner check this out folks a scene like that boom 100% CPU usage well it was a second ago but yeah check it out I mean at least two or three of our CPUs are over 95 percent right now they are too and look at scene like this you're looking at this saying wow this must be super intensive that's not really an intensive scene right there you know so in some cases you will run into severe cpu bottlenecks and games like these especially where there's a lot of stuff going on the CPU plays it like this right here CPU plays a huge role in scenes like this and boom that's why it's a hundred percent across the board but here's the cool thing despite having only three cores we obviously were CPU bound according to MSI Afterburner we still achieve very respectable frame rates these are actually comparable to just a full-on i7 6700 K with all four cores and hyper threading activated hey on a side note this stuff came in the mail I have no idea what's in either of these boxes so let's go ahead and open these up oh really ooh that looked high-tech this has nothing to do with the video at hand but I really want to see what's see what this is some advanced audio weaponry right here like this it even comes with its own amplifier yet review of this coming very soon folks from psycho it's a pretty cool name - if I do say so myself again advanced audio weaponry when someone's got the bollocks to put that on the cover of their box yeah worthy of a science studio review that is for sure just so everyone knows this is like impossible to do with one hand where's my where's my camera man obviously some sensitive material all up in here ooh an a pacer ARMA 60 give it per second six gigabyte per second excuse me that's a gigabyte that the capital b solid-state drive to 40 gig alright I smell a PC build in the very near future what else we have in here some blade ddr4 16 gigs 3200 megahertz oh yeah this a heavy box what I think like how heavy are Dems like this is getting really out of hand but there's something else in here no way oh they got me a t-shirt oh yeah we can open this up it is a very tasteful graphic if I do say so myself look at that ooh I can already say Wow frame rate has gone way up since the one core hyper threaded video well folks I can say without a doubt this one will run well over your monitors refresh rate we're looking at around 200 FPS just you know out of first glance here nice and smooth this time no frame stuttering of skipping no artifacts just good old game play if you could definitely play this game with three cores no problem even though it is CPU intensive yeah very pleasant very smooth overall look at that look at the consistency and let me zoom in real quick I know you guys can see that my poor out look at how consistent those frames were the entire time so we didn't have that weird dip that we had in parts 1 & 2 at about 10% 20% of the way in average FPS 78 point for pretty much across the board not really much else to say other than that's it's a great score wow I'm getting sniped by somebody right where I spawn ah wow I'm not good at this game I'm back inside dog so sick of these kids camping man what's up with that yeah he was coming to camp again he was coming to camp by the way something I should point out here CPU usage pretty much pegged at 100% this entire time so something to take note of I recommend a quad-core processor at least for Battlefield one huh I killed one of them that was worth it all right let's see what we scored here 101 average FPS up top there not bad at all so here are the official benchmarks for each game starting off with GTA 5 we see a very sharp increase in frame rates coming from a single hyper threaded core but not enough to pull us into four core territory it is worth noting that our minimum frame rate did substantially improve indicating a much more consistent and fluid experience overall with three physical cores city skylines mirrors much of what we see in GT a noticeable improvements across the board but especially in the case of the minimum a jump from 13 to 24 is substantial and it's I mean it's basically the difference between unplayable and bearable your results may vary in ashes that the singularity however something strange happened the three core simulation yielded higher frame rates across the board and in the averages you're seeing here while I wouldn't say two FPS is a big deal under normal circumstances in games like these relying on fewer more powerful cores power powerful cores overclocking even higher would likely result in an even larger gap keep in mind it is easier to overclock fewer course on our simple first-person shooter csgo ran with flying colors surprise surprise we still aren't up to par with true quad cores in this one surprisingly but 212 FPS and even 176 on the minimum should yield a very smooth and an enjoyable experience even on a high refresh rate monitor total war war hammer piece of cake we saw very stable and consistent frame rates and even a slight lead when it came to the minimum fps notice a huge jump - from 1 to 3 cores and also how hyper setting really didn't make much of a difference in that scenario lastly the battlefield 1 beta these benchmarks aren't 100% consistent I use the same map in same weapons but I can't guarantee 100% repetition obviously it's not going to happen however I did not notice any difference in gameplay between a full-fledged i7 6700 K and this three core simulation keep in mind with hyper-threading disabled the benchmarks reinforced this claimed average frame rates actually past that of my i7 and the minimum stayed within a respectable 5 frames of the top-tier the difference between one and three cores in this scenario is actually quite staggering do keep in mind however that most of the games we tested here had CPU usage pegged at or near 100% for all three physical cores so while a few games appear to benefit from the reduced core count on paper four cores is still the way to go in terms of future proofing astana word but just get over it and multitasking I must say I've been enjoying this experiment lately if you have any ideas for part 4 I really don't know what I'm gonna do maybe like a dual core dual core hybrid even though I've done that with the pentium g 4400 and other CPUs in that category I'm just I don't know if you guys wanted to see the same thing done over again with the only difference being l3 cache and the small frequency change but we can do that if you want in part for something else that you want to see in part 4 we can do that as well if you have any suggestions for future experiments like different series altogether we can definitely make those things happen as long as it's affordable and within the realm of possibilities here in the studio you liked the video be sure to give it a thumbs up give it a thumbs down if you do feel the complete opposite or if you hate everything my life be sure to click subscribe button if you haven't already in stay tuned report for this series and my first well non introduction blog vlog is it a blog of lots of vlog if it's on video I guess it's a vlog of my Apple experience so I've been sporting the new MacBook 2016 the iPhone se and the Apple sport watch I must say at this point I am huge fans of all of them surprise surprise but more on that in the vlog stay tuned for that this is science studio thanks for the 100k folks stick around good stuff on the way thanks for learning with us Oh
