Gaming: Strange Brigade (DX12, Vulkan)

Strange Brigade is based in 1903’s Egypt and follows a story which is very similar to that of the Mummy film franchise. This particular third-person shooter is developed by Rebellion Developments which is more widely known for games such as the Sniper Elite and Alien vs Predator series. The game follows the hunt for Seteki the Witch Queen who has arose once again and the only ‘troop’ who can ultimately stop her. Gameplay is cooperative centric with a wide variety of different levels and many puzzles which need solving by the British colonial Secret Service agents sent to put an end to her reign of barbaric and brutality.

The game supports both the DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs and houses its own built-in benchmark which offers various options up for customization including textures, anti-aliasing, reflections, draw distance and even allows users to enable or disable motion blur, ambient occlusion and tessellation among others. AMD has boasted previously that Strange Brigade is part of its Vulkan API implementation offering scalability for AMD multi-graphics card configurations.

    Yes. The integrated memory controller is on the IO die, which is part of the Ryzen SoC, not the chipset.

    Right now, there's no indication what CL / timings are applied to all the other systems. CL16 is indeed bottom of the barrel for DDR-3200, you would hope there's no shenanigans with Intel getting CL12 DDR-2666. Why not just run all the systems with the same DDR-3200, it's not like they can't do it.

    Not to be too rude, but the IMC is on the io chipLet, not the chipSet. The chipset actually has an important role for the memory speed, in that a chipset defines a platform and a platform imposes requirements on the power supply and trace routing. While the IMC in 3rd gen can handle 3200MT/s+ completely fine, it is guaranteed to do so only one X570. Anything older is a dice roll as the boards were not designed for such speeds (not a requirement for the older platform).

    Just as note for those who haven’t been following: This review wasn’t written by our usual resident CPU editor, Dr Ian Cutress as he unfortunately the timing didn’t work out. We only had a few days time with the new Ryzen CPUs, as such, you might noticed a few bits and pieces missing in our article that we’ll try to address in the next hours and days. We’ll be trying to update the piece with more information and data as soon as we can. Thanks.
    Also huge thanks to Gavin Bonshor who actually did all the testing and collected all the data for this review, thumb up to him.

    hoping a speedy recovery for him! loved his video with Wendell!

    loving the article, too. don't suppose you could test cross-CCX latency?
  • plonk420 - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link

    e.g. pcper.com/2017/06/the-intel-core-i9-7900x-10-core-skylake-x-processor-review/3/

    main interest is if it is low enough to be harnessed by RPCS3 (PS3 emulator)
  • ballsystemlord - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link

    CCX benchmarks would be nice.
    IF power benchmarks were also done last time and probably in the works.
  • shakazulu667 - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link

    Are Intel results with or without spectre et al mitigations?
  • Ryan Smith - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link

    They are with Spectre and Meltdown mitigations. They are not new enough results to include anything for Fallout/ZombieLoad.
