Armored Core Verdict Day - i5 10400F vs i7 11700K (95W PL1) - RPCS3 June 2023

Had a chance to compare these 2 CPUs while emulating Armored Core: Verdict Day on PC via RPCS3
11700K is limited to 95W PL1 due to my cooling system being undersized for this CPU's full potential. Thus, the i7 performs closer to a plain 11700
While the i7 doesn't achieve a locked 30 FPS at all time under these conditions, it greatly increases the smoothness of the presented frames, compared to the i5 (see frame time graph)
Subjectively, I think that the game is currently "barely playable" on a 10th gen i5, "playable" on 11th gen i7 and "almost perfect" on an 11700K with unlocked power limits and beefy cooling

What GPU are you using? Or are you on UHD 770 integrated graphics?

[@JC_Rascal]

I'm using a discrete GPU, namely Nvidia RTX 3050
As the game is not GPU-bound - that GPU is perfectly sufficient, even if using upscaling to 1440p
Integrated GPU will not work for this game, I'm afraid

10400F is firee very good

[@JC_Rascal]

It's a fine CPU
Very cold and energy efficient
Not the best for heavy RPCS3 games, as you can see - but good nonetheless
