The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and 3100 CPU Review: A Budget Gaming Bonanza
by Dr. Ian Cutress on May 7, 2020 9:00 AM EST*We are currently in the middle of revisiting our CPU gaming benchmarks, but the new suite was not ready in time for this review. We plan to add in some new games (Borderland 3, Gears Tactics) and also upgrade our gaming GPU to a RTX 2080 Ti.
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.

well maxipadking, if this site pisses you off so much, and all you do is whine about how bad the reviews are, and how they test low end garbage cpus, why do you even bother coming here ? it is just to be a biased intel shill ?? go back the site that praises your god intel.Deicidium369 - Friday, May 8, 2020 - link
Look it's the resident, no life AMD shill in his natural habitat - offering absolutely nothing to conversation and just sniping.. he will also follow you to other forums - he's a creepy little guyKorguz - Friday, May 8, 2020 - link
your funny man, go look in the mirror, and work on getting your OWN personal facts straight.Spunjji - Monday, May 11, 2020 - link
I am enjoying how "I got caught shitposting in multiple forums" went through Deicidium's flamebot troll filter and came out as "watch out, this guy will stalk you".dwade123 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
It’s crazy how Skylake is still the fastest for gaming. Beats having to spend and spend on endless minor upgrades with AMD... and still be slower in gaming ROFL.Makaveli - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
And maybe that matters to man children who never leave the basement. For the rest of the adults, price/performance matters more than a few extra fps. And even more so now with alot of people being layed off due to the pandemic and trying to save money.stardude82 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
Heck, for most people a 10 year old Lynn field is good enough.rUmX - Saturday, May 9, 2020 - link
I just recently rebuilt a i5 760 for a friend, and you're absolutely right. It is still a pretty quick cpu for most users for basic tasks. However its super slow compared to even Zen 1. Part of that is the low clocks, and lacking boost. My Ryzen 1600 non-AF runs circles around it even single threaded.Spunjji - Monday, May 11, 2020 - link
When the best reach you can manage is "My favourite company's abject failure to improve performance is a plus, actually."ExarKun333 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
This is AMD 90nm all over again.
