Gaming: World of Tanks enCore
Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.
World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.

As with a lot of the CPU benchmarks, the overclocked 2600K sits between the 2600K at stock and the 7700K, at least up to 1080p Ultra. At 4K Ultra, the OC and 7700K are essentially the same performance, but the 2600K at stock certainly has a lower 95th percentile result.

60fps min cpu game and cpu render benchmark. Could probably ray tracing up a bit in the actual game for most of it.denise23 - Sunday, October 24, 2021 - link
