The AMD Radeon VII Review: An Unexpected Shot At The High-End
by Nate Oh on February 7, 2019 9:00 AM ESTFar Cry 5 (DX11)
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). This testing was done without HD Textures enabled, an option that was recently patched in.
The Far Cry 5 built-in benchmark isn't known for its sensitivity, but in this case the differences aren't drastic in how the Radeon VII takes the lead at 4K but slips behind at lower resolutions. For 4K and 1440p, the takeaway is that the Radeon VII, GTX 1080 Ti FE, and RTX 2080 are more-or-less in the same league.

What does that have to do with anything? No console game, ever, could be installed on a PC.Current consoles having x86 processors means absolutely nothing. Consoles are defined by their platform, not processors.
It'd be like complaining about switch (which you deem a real console) not being able to install android games; or complain they switch games can't be installed on android phones.

1) wheres the proof ?? links to this perhaps ?2) again.. where is the proof ?? considering they are also DirectX based.. that should make porting them to the comp.. a little easier..... so, not splintering anything....
the same can be said about cpus and gpus.

The proof is that PS and MS "console" games won't install and run in Windows nor in Linux.Korguz - Friday, February 8, 2019 - link
sorry man.. but thats not proof.... thats just differences in the programming of the games..D. Lister - Saturday, February 9, 2019 - link
@Korguz:You actually believe developers make seperate versions for every platform? Wow.

never said that... while the core of the game could be the same.. the underlying software that allows the games to be run, is different.. as Eddman said.. no console game can be run on a comp, and vice versa... i know i can't take any of the console games i have in install them on my comp.. cant even read the disc.. same goes for a comp game on a console... just wont read it...D lister.. are you able to do this some how ? ( and i dont mean by use of an emulator, either )

Forgot to scrub a cell when cleaning out a table. At the moment there isn't an official price for the card.
