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: World of Tanks enCore
Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.
World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.

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.
