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: Final Fantasy XV
Upon arriving to PC earlier this, Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition was given a graphical overhaul as it was ported over from console, fruits of their successful partnership with NVIDIA, with hardly any hint of the troubles during Final Fantasy XV's original production and development.
In preparation for the launch, Square Enix opted to release a standalone benchmark that they have since updated. Using the Final Fantasy XV standalone benchmark gives us a lengthy standardized sequence to record, although it should be noted that its heavy use of NVIDIA technology means that the Maximum setting has problems - it renders items off screen. To get around this, we use the standard preset which does not have these issues.
Square Enix has patched the benchmark with custom graphics settings and bugfixes to be much more accurate in profiling in-game performance and graphical options. For our testing, we run the standard benchmark with a FRAPs overlay, taking a 6 minute recording of the test.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

Anandtech, can we please have an upvote/downvote system in the comments section? Seems to work very well at Arstechnica in drowning out the trolls. Thanks.Spunjji - Wednesday, May 13, 2020 - link

I imagine this has been mentioned elsewhere before, but why does Zen fare so badly, specifically, in 3DPM v1? Additionally, Geekbench 4's MT test is shown twice, once in place of 3DPM v1's MT test.Scubasausage - Thursday, May 14, 2020 - link
Good to see my old 4790k featured. I can see what I would get for my money if I upgraded. And judging by these results it isn’t really worth the money to upgrade it. Thank god really because I’ve been burned by AMD so many times that if I can I will avoid them. But right now you really can’t avoid them! Good thing I don’t need a CPU!A nice 30xx series Nvidia card will be a good replacement for my RX580 when they release. Hey, might even be able to use my 4K monitor in 4K!

How much did Cyrix/Centaur/VIA pay you for this article? (I forgot to mention Rise lol)DominionSeraph - Sunday, May 17, 2020 - link
I can get i7 4770/4790 systems for $120. AMD's going to have to do better than +10% performance to get me to pay triple the price over Intel's old stock.indiandablu - Wednesday, June 10, 2020 - link
