The Intel Core i9-9900KS Review: The 5 GHz Consumer Special
by Dr. Ian Cutress on October 31, 2019 10:45 AM ESTGaming: 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.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

Let's not forget thr new agesa efficiency mode where losing 1-3% fps the cpu power consumption goes down by 35%.Maxiking - Sunday, November 10, 2019 - link
Yeah, let's not forget that agesa was supposed to fix the boost and it didn't again.Qasar - Sunday, November 10, 2019 - link
ok maxiking, IF you THINK you are so smart and know it ALL let me ask you this:WHY does it take a HIGHER clocked intel chip, to beat a LOWER clocked equivalent ?? i would LOVE to read your reason for this one.
clock both intel and AMD at the SAME clocks, and i bet, AMD's chips would slaughter intels, in EVERY metric, performance, and power usage.
i will tell you what, i will save you the trouble, you WON'T reasonably answer those 2 questions with a real, logical answer, you will just attack me like you do others on here, call me names, or insult me, among other things, but the answer for both, is amd's current chips, now either match, or surpass intel in IPC, and performance per what.
come one maxiking, i dare you to answer those 2 questions with a reasonable, logicial answer, WITH OUT being insulting, or resorting to name calling.
