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.

Yeah, because the average Joe is owning a 2080 TI to play at 1080p...blppt - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Believe it or not, you need a 2080Ti to play 1080p at max settings smoothly in RDR2 at the moment.My oc'd 1080ti (FTW3) chokes on that game at 1080p/max settings.

Not.. 1440p 78 fps avg for RDR2 Benchmark and in game 72 fps avg maxed settings @ 1440p, 2080ti and 9700k@5Ghz.blppt - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
The 2080ti and other 2xxx series cards do MUCH better in RDR2 than their equivalent 10-series cards. Look at the benchmarks---we have Vega 64s challenging 1080tis in this game. That should not happen.https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/red_dead_red...

I have 2080 Ti units standing by, but my current benchmark run is with 1080s until I do a full benchmark reset. Probably Q1 next year, when I'm back at home for longer than 5 days. Supercomputing, Tech Summit, IEDM, and CES are in my next few weeks.Dusk_Star - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
> In our Ryzen 7 3700X review, with the 12-core processorPretty sure the 3700X is 8 cores.

Not a single compilation benchmark...Ian Cutress - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Having issues getting the benchmark to work on Win 10 1909, didn't have time to debug. Hoping to fix it for the next benchmark suite update.Lux88 - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link

Sad,Desperately want to know if the 3950x will make a good developer workstation. 64GB of Ram and a fast nvme, or is it going to be memory bandwidth bottlenecked... and I’ll need to step up to TR3.
