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: 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.

It's the mark of an uninformed troll to misquote Socrates in support of obvious trolling.Unashamed_unoriginal_username_x86 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
"AMD's new processor is better than Intel's recent flagship at a third of the price, and Intel's i3 chips are barely available so it will be great for budget gaming""HOW MUCH IS INTEL PAYING YOU"
What, should he have manipulated the benchmarks?
Or should he have unprofessionally craptalked Intel because his identity revolves around an alliterative antagonistic absolutist dogmatic dichotomy between fooking TECH companies?
