Gaming: Far Cry 5

The latest title in Ubisoft's Far Cry series lands us right into the unwelcoming arms of an armed militant cult in Montana, one of the many middles-of-nowhere in the United States. With a charismatic and enigmatic adversary, gorgeous landscapes of the northwestern American flavor, and lots of violence, it is classic Far Cry fare. Graphically intensive in an open-world environment, the game mixes in action and exploration.

Far Cry 5 does support Vega-centric features with Rapid Packed Math and Shader Intrinsics. Far Cry 5 also supports HDR (HDR10, scRGB, and FreeSync 2). We use the in-game benchmark for our data, and report the average/minimum frame rates.

    How many folks with GTX1080s would be using either of these CPUs tested (even if they were for sale)? :)

    Someone that decided to start gaming, or changed to a game that required more graphics power so bought a graphics card. Maybe a kid whose parents bought a computer, or a hand-me-down computer. Even I have been gaming and building computers a long time and I have upgraded the graphics card on my computers several times around the middle of that system's lifetime (I keep them pretty long). I have friends that play WoW and needed to upgrade.There are plenty of situations.

    Have you seen gaming benchmarks with low end CPUs vs high end CPUs when both have the same high end graphics card?

    wrong power consumption test ...

    Ryzen 5 2500X get DDR4 2933 (1.3 V) vs coffe lake DDR4 2667 (1.2 V).

    (for Ryzen 5 2500X clock up ram freq to 3200, or downclock to 2667)

    ty and sorry for my eng.

    another intel biased review . Why didint youput the price of the i5-8600k like in other reviews??
    maybe because you know that it costs the same as amd 2700 ??? tired of LIARS.

    prove it.. post some links...
  • Irata - Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - link

    The statement by Pajuk is actually not correct - the i5-8600k costs $288.96 boxed, the Ryzen 7 2700 229.99 - both at Newegg - so it's not the same price but $60 more.
