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.

Hmmm.. looks like most of your posts in this thread are responding to Korguz, they're primarily focused on being critical of him, and they add nothing to the discussion.If you were projecting any harder you'd burn a hole through the screen.

Not sure if you're just trolling but which part of this review is biased to you? It seems factual and well written to me.boozed - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
The problem with the internet is that it's difficult for people to tell when you're jokingThreska - Friday, May 8, 2020 - link

Yes, I'm sure Intel was very quite pleased and eager to have both their famous 7700K and 8086K equaled or surpassed in most games by a $120 CPU....; they insisted and 'bribed' the powers that be that their former flagships be included! :)
