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.

    Why use 3200MHz DRAM when 3600 is known to perform best with 3600? I think it was proven here on this server: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14605/the-and-ryzen...

    Very interesting article.
    But I think you should update the motherboard part regarding the new situation of upgrade abilities.

    Hello, I'm here to ask if what's the difference between Ryzen 5 3600 and 5 3600X? I need to buy one but I couldn't decide yet.
