CPU question for VAM

[Clyde Cash]

Since VAM relies heavily on single core performance, should I prioritise getting a CPU with the best single core performance or would this be irrelevant if the performance patch was implemented?

To make my question clear, would a i3-14100f perform better than an older X3D AMD CPU? Since it maybe has better single core performance than a AMD 7 5800X3D (maybe if it's a i5 idrk) VAM would run better in theory. My question is if I want 60 frames on desktop mode with two characters on high settings with the performance patch and simple optimisations, will VAM run better with a CPU with better single core performance even with the performance patch?

You should prioritize a CPU you can use for your average use. Not VAM specifically.

Also, no matter what CPU you will get, at the same "tier/budget" you won't have like a 50% difference making it worth (or not) going Intel or AMD. To be clearer, let's say you have a 500 bucks budget, the difference is gonna be so thin that it's not really relevant.

If you have a CPU which is at most 3yo (to current gens) and a 3070 at least and above. You will get far beyond 60 fps on desktop at two chars. The problem as always been the diminish returns at more than 2.

Way better with a 5800X3D than a 1400F
