@pearl12 said in Minimum CPU for long Seton's/Dual Gap games:
Thinking of upgrading my CPU and want to get something I can play longer, larger games on. Current CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 2600) is rated 255 by cpu test and game speed starts dropping around the 1-hour mark. I see most other players with cpus rated around 100 or so.
Yes, I can play 10x10s just fine. I want to play larger, longer games.
Thinking about the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. Would that do? Anybody have one and can say what it rates?
Other suggestions?
Your CPU is fine. See the initial benchmark results. Anything between 60 and 90 is perfect. There are two similar processors, but they have a significantly lower score in the lobby benchmark. Are you sure that your memory is setup properly?
Note that the game slowing down after one hour of playing is quite usual on a lot of maps. We're working on improving the performance, but at some point the simulation will always start to slow down.
