The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X and 3970X Review: 24 and 32 Cores on 7nm
by Dr. Ian Cutress, Andrei Frumusanu & Gavin Bonshor on November 25, 2019 9:05 AM ESTGaming: Strange Brigade (DX12, Vulkan)
Strange Brigade is based in 1903’s Egypt and follows a story which is very similar to that of the Mummy film franchise. This particular third-person shooter is developed by Rebellion Developments which is more widely known for games such as the Sniper Elite and Alien vs Predator series. The game follows the hunt for Seteki the Witch Queen who has arose once again and the only ‘troop’ who can ultimately stop her. Gameplay is cooperative centric with a wide variety of different levels and many puzzles which need solving by the British colonial Secret Service agents sent to put an end to her reign of barbaric and brutality.
The game supports both the DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs and houses its own built-in benchmark which offers various options up for customization including textures, anti-aliasing, reflections, draw distance and even allows users to enable or disable motion blur, ambient occlusion and tessellation among others. AMD has boasted previously that Strange Brigade is part of its Vulkan API implementation offering scalability for AMD multi-graphics card configurations.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

So...at what point will these and other recent results end up in the Bench DB?JEmlay - Thursday, February 6, 2020 - link
I have a 9900K and 3970X side by side and my findings are much different. The 3970X destroys the 9900K in every way. Are you sure you're using the memory properly in the AMD machine? Make sure you're running at least 3600 with 1:1 FClock. Then out of nowhere an Intel 7960X destroys the AMD 3970X? No way.Janie Durham - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
