Amd announces initial optimization of ashes of the singularity for ryzen

AMD continues to work closely with the industry to improve the performance of its new Ryzen processors and deliver the maximum to users. One of the fundamental pillars is video games and that is why they are proud to present together with Stardock and Oxide Games the initial optimization of Ashes of the Singularity for the promising new processors.

Ashes of the Singularity improves performance on AMD Ryzen

Ashes of the Singularity users already have a new update on Steam to improve the game's scaling on the new Zen-based processors and increase performance by up to 31% in “Average Frames per Second All Batches”. This brings the new AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor to the top when it comes to performance.

With the arrival of AMD Ryzen 7 processors, it was seen that one of the biggest weaknesses of its Zen microarchitecture is the behavior in video games, especially in 1080p resolution where Intel chips are still the best option. After that, AMD stated that the "poor performance" in games is due to the fact that the graphics engines are not optimized to take advantage of the virtues of the new Zen microarchitecture. AMD has been working with video game developers so that they are able to get the most out of the new Ryzen processors and the first step has been taken in Ashes of the Singularity.

PCworld has set to work to analyze the improvement of the new update of Ashes of the Singularity, for this they have used a Ryzen 7 1800X processor along with 16 GB of DDR4 2933 RAM and an Asus Crosshair VI Hero motherboard with the BIOS updated to the latest version. This system has been completed with a powerful GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.

Performance tests confirm the great improvement Ashes of the Singularity offers with AMD Ryzen processors after the new update, the improvement is very close to the 31% promised by AMD. Remember that this is an initial optimization so it is very likely that in the near future the improvement will be even more significant.

Final words and conclusion

AMD claimed that its Ryzen processors would improve in games through optimization, something that has finally been demonstrated with Ashes of the Singularity. After more than five years of absolute dominance of Intel, the Sunnyvale processors were hardly taken into account when developing a video game, the arrival of the new Zen microarchitecture has made AMD very competitive again and has made the company again in the middle of the game. Hopefully, little by little, more and more games will be able to take full advantage of the new Ryzen processors.
