The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Review: 16 Cores on 7nm with PCIe 4.0
by Dr. Ian Cutress on November 14, 2019 9:00 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.

we have nearly 400 million dollars - you give us gold award and then we release the money to you. my lawyer will call you...either that or my attorney general. stay close to phone!Kishoreshack - Friday, November 15, 2019 - link
That's a good thingI hope we scrap out gold awards in all together
Only recommended is what matters
soo we know all Anandtech recommendations carry same weight

No brown envelope at the usual deadrop.Irata - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Just curious: Were the Intel systems fully patched, including the new JCC Microcode update ?ydeer - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Excellent question.Ian Cutress - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Did I run 30hr+ of tests on each of those Intel processors with a patch from an announcement 24 hours prior? No, of course not.Irata - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
I did not expect this to be honest. Must not be fun testing with the different security related updates from Intel or Bios patches from AMD that come out regularly.Might be worth adding a mention to the review since the JCC and Zombieload 2 updates can have a performance impact (as per Phoronix).

Oh, and not to be rude - thank you very much for this through review Ian.Flying Aardvark - Friday, November 15, 2019 - link
Can you at notate that in the review in large bold print, and that it's likely to affect performance, possibly dramatically for the Intel CPUs?lukx - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
