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.

All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

    So he makes a point about why people want a CPU and he is instant fanboy? Well you certainly got the boy part down pat..

    What are you talking about?

    Zen 2 only has a tiny IPC advantage over Skylake.

    10% isn't tiny, especially when boosting clock speeds by 10% is no longer trivial.

    imagine what it would be like if the clock speeds were higher... if zen 2 is this close, or faster with the clockspeed disadvantage it has now.. what will it be like if zen 2 was hitting 4.6+ ghz ???

    We have a few months until Zen 3 clocks will leak.

    Don't a full 10% of the 3900X samples actually have a core or two hit their advertised 4600 MHz for about 5 full consecutive seconds....sometimes? :)

    dont intel cpus NEED the higher clocks in order to have the performance they get ? clock them at the ryzen equivilents.. and see how well they perform.. when will people realize clock speed isnt everything ??

    What would it be like if it hit 6ghz?

    Does it matter since it can’t?

    I am very eager to see Zen 3 tho. Regardless of all the fanboys. I feel like it’s very much a mixed bag to chose between intel and amd just cause of some of the instruction sets and #of threads used by various things.

    But if even half of the stuff about Zen3 is true 2020 should be AMDs year as I don’t believe anything intel launches until 2021 is really gonna be competitive.

    Zen 2 has more like 13%-15% IPC gain over released Intel CPU's right now at same clock speeds depending on work load. There was a video on Youtube where one of the bigger YT channels did a side by side of AMD Zen 2 CPU and Intel 9900K both @4GHz and I was surprised that the AMD chip was ahead in most everything by a fair amount.

    When it came to gaming though Intel had a slight lead in a few games that seemed to favor Intel. But there were also games that AMD got wins from a s well. This would explain why AMD with a CPU with same core count is now able to match Intel even though AMD has a lower clock speed and even come close or match in a lot of games. I am no fanboy for either camp I currently only own Intel based systems but would be more than willing to look at either camps hardware when I do my next set of upgrades. That is just how good things are now on either side ans with AMD finally back in the game and putting pressure on Intel prices are also now getting better on the Intel side of the street as well. It is a win for everyone when things like this start happening.

    Hey, it's a good thing the 3900X doesn't have slow cores then, does it :)

    Seriously, though. i3-9350KF exists, go buy that if you want clock speed :P
