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.

Intel's 10th gen is a hard pass for me.I'll wait patiently with my 4770K.

Haswell was the last time I remember being excited about an Intel CPU.AnarchoPrimitiv - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Why is the article stating that the 10900k is "around the same price" as the 3900x when its literally around $100 more (3900x currently goes for $417 and the 10900k has listed at $522, $488 is only the tray price when you buy 1000 or more CPUs)? In my opinion a 25% more expensive CPU isn't "around the same price"dirkdigles - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Same thoughts - I commented on that earlier. Quite misleading IMO.drothgery - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
comparing retail prices of something just released vs something that's been out for months is silly, so they went by MSRP (which for CPUs is the tray price)?GreenReaper - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Don't see how that works. You buy based on the performance available now, that is what the charts are based on - so why not the price now?duploxxx - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
perhaps a reviews site should start testing with the defaults…. so put a default cooler on this system and test again in a case and heating next to it and see how much is reall left from this marketing turbo and theoretical benchmarking....jameslr - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
What's a "default cooler"? None of these CPUs come with a "cooler" or HSF unit.GreenReaper - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
So test it anyway, see what happens when you don't include a vital bit of kit in the comparison price.Spunjji - Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - link
The AMD ones do. They could throw in a known-equivalent cooler on the Intel side and repeat a few of the tests with it to see how it fares - one of those $30 Coolermaster jobs should do the trick.At least that way you'd get an idea of the extremes - "properly" cooled with a water loop vs. cooled the way most people used to do home builds.
