AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Review: Why Is This Amazon's Best Selling CPU?
by Dr. Ian Cutress on May 18, 2020 9:00 AM ESTGaming: 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.

They make plenty of money and they are paid well. Otherwise they would not be able to afford the fancy cars and the dinner parties. I have found that all writers on the internet are rich and have the best of everything. I want to one day be able to write for internet and get rich too.Kaihekoa - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
I recommend gamers nexus for this kind of data and game-specific benches. Anandtech is outdated in many regards.Alistair - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
Gamers Nexus is often not up to date either, which is the most important consideration in the context of his comment. Check Hardware Unboxed on Youtube, or Techspot for the latest info, and the most games tested.Pewzor - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
Yep GN uses very old games. Even GTA V with a broken engine, and usually quite favor Intel and Nvidia, he used it since the game come out until today. Some turn based strategy game that I don't know anyone plays and so on.HideOut - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
I honestly cant watch gamers nexus. He puts me to sleep with his non stop charts...jrbales@outlook.com - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - link
I like the videos except they go on way too long, which is mainly due to all the charts. Would be better if he cut the videos by 10 minutes and create a webpage with the charts for those wanting a more in-depth review.0ldman79 - Wednesday, June 24, 2020 - link
They have a website.It has those charts.
You know you can grab the progress slider and fast forward, right?

Amazing how many people are prepared to tell on their own lack of attention span.mikato - Sunday, May 24, 2020 - link
Haha yeah what I was thinking was that I will sometimes skim through whole articles (especially when repeated content) just to see the charts since they are the meat of the content here and show results of the work I’m not going to do myself. And for that person the charts put them to sleep. I’m curious what do they watch Gamers Nexus for then? Entertainment aspects I guess but odd choice.
