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.

    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.

    I recommend gamers nexus for this kind of data and game-specific benches. Anandtech is outdated in many regards.

    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.

    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.

    I honestly cant watch gamers nexus. He puts me to sleep with his non stop charts...

    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.

    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.

    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.
