Ubisoft's new action fighting game 'For Honor' puts you in control of medieval-styled knights, vikings and samurai, each with four classes that can be played through the single player campaign and five online modes. We'll of course be looking at the PC version to see what sort of hardware it takes to power this new triple-A title.
Seems to be using an older game engine/no more then 4 logical cores, common for games using older tech; its not even close to taking advantage of what CPU's have to offer. Look at how good the Core i3-6100 is doing, its keeping pace with an i7-5960X.
With this game at least it likely wont. Seeing as 2500k and 5960x that both have very similar single thread performance are performing near identically but one being a 4c4t CPU and another being 8c16t, it is easy to conclude that this game is not made to properly utilize anything past 4 threads. It being a reasonable expectation that 7700k will hold the title as the processor with the highest single thread performance and being a 4c8t CPU, I have hard time imagining any 4/6/8 core zens surpassing its performance, in this game at least. Since extreme settings are already keeping titan xp overworked and 7700k offers diminishing gains above 3.5GHz zen should be able to perform on par with 7700k in this particular scenario, but say you wanted to play at 144fps for high refresh rate monitors, you would have to lower your graphical settings quite a bit to alleviate the GPU bottleneck and your CPU would again be more relevant.
