          If anyone is interested, Zen 3 5600x 3200mhz DDR4 finished replay on 13:50~. Lowest speed was around +2/+3, dropped for a sec to +1 on air fight. In lobby benchmark gives 100~ score. No overclock on cpu overall.

          I think similar results can be achieved with newest intel cpus, as I would assume most of it comes from good IPC in recent gen cpus.

            +1 in airfights is interesting. Seems as if sup com is aging like wine.

              @xanoxis wow!
              i think it's the ram speed that's really helping here.

                Well it's been said again and again that ram is important for supcom but you people never remember that part.
                Also might as well post the old benchmark I did:

                "Finished the first run for my standard setup
                3.8ghz r5 2600(undervolted) 2666mhz ram 12-13-13-13-44 Lobby score at 197 points avarage after 10 runs.
                It took 16:31:22 to finish the replay at avarage from 3 runs.
                To make it easier to bench I stop the game at 0:10 mark and then set sim speed to +10. Then start simultaneously the replay and the timer.
                I hit the stop on timer the moment replay comes to halt."

                  i5 11600k (no overclocking) with 16gb 3200mhz RAM took about 13m7s to run the replay (pausing the game at the start, setting +10 sim speed, then starting timer and unpausing)

                    Fast RAM is good addition, but to be fair, I used the same setup for DDR4 on Zen 1700 3.7ghz OC, and lobby benchmark was around 240~ and I was dropping to -1 on somewhat big games and air fights. Big jump in IPC in last two CPU gens is what's helping the most.

                    I think with Zen 4 and DDR5 in 2022, all cpu issues in FAF will be solved, even cheapest cpu from it will be enough to run everything smoothly. But sadly, everyone would need to get new cpus, and that won't happen for years.

                          Iโ€™ve got a Ryzen 5600x with a beefy aftermarket cooler and a healthy 64gb of DDR4-3600 ram giving me what I think is the fastest score Iโ€™ve seen of 95. When Iโ€™m back in town Iโ€™ll run the benchmark from earlier in the thread because Iโ€™m curious

                                  integrated GPU
                                  Not very expensive
                                  Not very powerfull
                                  Pretty good for 15 watt
                                  Very very loose default memory timings
                                  No idea what overclocking adjustments are possible
                                  Bios looked very basic.
                                  Replay run time 19:57 (single run)
                                  25-30 FPS during +10 in a replay. Graphix on low except for terrain fidelity on medium.
                                  Forgot to check CPU score and i don't care about it =\

                                  How do i make a freaking spoiler
                                  I did not have time to update AIDA64, that might theoretically be important.
                                  Aida64 mem-test looks pretty horrifying, especially considetring this CPU has not that much cache

                                    Couldn't run the replay, after the loading I got a black screen with cursor.
                                    ???

                                      That means something crashed, likely UI related.

                                          Any gpu with 1 teraflops single precision or more theoretical performance is enough for supcom graphics.
                                          That goes back a decade or more. For example first cards to achieve this were Radeon 4850 and gtx 470.

                                          Regarding integrated graphics most APUs today do pack about 1 teraflops of performance in their gpu, but I would not lose my sleep over them, because they are usually found in expensive packages (more expensive than some decent gaming laptops). And I would not pay more to get some shiny surfaces and good for nothing substance.

                                          Regarding CPUs, any cpu with single core geekbench score of about 400 is good enough for most 1v1 scenarios, with the exception of 20x20 or bigger maps(which is depressing if you think how much silicon is wasted in modern smartphones). Any cpu with single core geekbench score of about 1000 will get you through almost all scenarios,

                                          except the "epic" games of 12v12 players on 81x81 maps. I guess from this viewpoint SupCom is still not played optimally, though latest Alder Lakes should be good enough for a full blown Seton's without a hitch.

                                          PS. And yes , I am old enough to have seen bans on people trying to play Seton's if their cpu did not have a GB score of 400, which was considered to be awesome, getting bans when the demand became 500 , 600 and so on. All these years no-one acknowledging the fact that they did not actually have a Seton's capable cpu ๐Ÿ˜€

                                            This is a cool thread - perhaps more people can join in and do some standard benchmark test to see how a CPU + RAM configuration works in practice? Especially today a computer to run Supreme Commander decently shouldn't be that expensive.

                                            Edit: I have a super-duper expensive laptop that throttles down. My information wouldn't be too relevant I believe ๐Ÿ™‚
