AMD Ryzen has committed to improving its gaming performance in the coming days after it poorly performed on real-world 1080p gaming. The company is working with game developers to ensure that players finally experience what they were previously promised. AMD promised that the processor will only get better soon.
Users were initially disappointed with the performance of the AMD Ryzen chip in 1080p gaming applications, notes PC Gamer. However, they should expect the chipset's performance to improve as their developers spend more time on it. AMD chief executive Lisa Su said that they have over 300 developers working with "Zen" and the developers of "Total War: Warhammer" and "Ashes of Singularity" are also actively optimizing its performance for 1080p gaming.
Based on a report by PCWorld, the AMD Ryzen allegedly had its instructions per clock increased by over 50 percent compared to the previous generation, but it surprisingly underperformed in actual gaming. Developers are currently busy to address the issues. AMD promised that 1080p and 1440p gaming performance will improve via patches.
According to Robert Hallock, an AMD CPU technical marketing team member, reviewers used some unoptimized benchmarks. He acknowledged that they have to collaborate with game developers on some titles to enhance performance on the new microarchitecture. Reportedly, Sega, Bethesda and Oxide Games are currently working with AMD to boost gaming performance. It will take time, but he confirmed that they will accomplish their objectives. Hallock added that games will be patched to enhance performance on the AMD Ryzen.
Hallock explained that some games run well, while others do not, although it was unfortunate for some notable titles included in the poorly performing list. The upside is that many game developers stated that there is a lot of improvement that can be done soon. Many users were initially concerned that the architecture of the AMD Ryzen was too limiting, but Hallock said that it was satisfactory for 98 percent of the desktop markets. The 40 PCI Express lanes and dual-channel RAM will remain the same.
AMD plans to refine their BIOSes and the AMD Ryzen's memory controller. The initial issues in the chipset are said to be part of the early growing pains that they can overcome with time. More updates and details on the AMD Ryzen are expected soon.
