AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 5950X, 5900X, 5800X and 5600X Tested
by Dr. Ian Cutress on November 5, 2020 9:01 AM ESTGaming Tests: F1 2019
The F1 racing games from Codemasters have been popular benchmarks in the tech community, mostly for ease-of-use and that they seem to take advantage of any area of a machine that might be better than another. The 2019 edition of the game features all 21 circuits on the calendar for that year, and includes a range of retro models and DLC focusing on the careers of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. Built on the EGO Engine 3.0, the game has been criticized similarly to most annual sports games, by not offering enough season-to-season graphical fidelity updates to make investing in the latest title worth it, however the 2019 edition revamps up the Career mode, with features such as in-season driver swaps coming into the mix. The quality of the graphics this time around is also superb, even at 4K low or 1080p Ultra.
For our test, we put Alex Albon in the Red Bull in position #20, for a dry two-lap race around Austin. We test at the following settings:
- 768p Ultra Low, 1440p Ultra Low, 4K Ultra Low, 1080p Ultra
In terms of automation, F1 2019 has an in-game benchmark that can be called from the command line, and the output file has frame times. We repeat each resolution setting for a minimum of 10 minutes, taking the averages and percentiles.

Shame they didn't have the 5800X and 5600X in there, would be interesting to see how they line up too. Strong progress indeed from AMD!5j3rul3 - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
The BEST moment of AMD👍👍👍Tunnah - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
The eventual 5700X is going to be an absolute sales smasher I reckon.Smell This - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Is the Zen2 end-of-life?The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X $300 could sure put a really big squeeze on the i7-10700K

Most likely Zen2 is at the end of the line. Amd will produce Zen3 at TSMC 7nm and zen+ at Globalfounduries 12 or 14nm...FireSnake - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link

We haven't had a CPU worthy of one in quite a while. It's nice to be able to hand out awards like these.=)just4U - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
What's amazing about that Ryan is it's a AMD processor. It seemed like you guys really wanted to give the gold award last time around with the 3000 series... but then opted for the silver award, which wasn't to shabby as it's something that has become very uncommon even if it's a good review of a product that your impressed with. Great review by Ian, good job guys.Byte - Saturday, November 7, 2020 - link
Save your next gold for the radeon 6900!
