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: Red Dead Redemption 2
It’s great to have another Rockstar benchmark in the mix, and the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) on the PC gives us a chance to do that. Building on the success of the original RDR, the second incarnation came to Steam in December 2019 having been released on consoles first. The PC version takes the open-world cowboy genre into the start of the modern age, with a wide array of impressive graphics and features that are eerily close to reality.
For RDR2, Rockstar kept the same benchmark philosophy as with Grand Theft Auto V, with the benchmark consisting of several cut scenes with different weather and lighting effects, with a final scene focusing on an on-rails environment, only this time with mugging a shop leading to a shootout on horseback before riding over a bridge into the great unknown. Luckily most of the command line options from GTA V are present here, and the game also supports resolution scaling. We have the following tests:
- 384p Minimum, 1440p Minimum, 8K Minimum, 1080p Max
For that 8K setting, I originally thought I had the settings file at 4K and 1.0x scaling, but it was actually set at 2.0x giving that 8K. For the sake of it, I decided to keep the 8K settings.
For our results, we run through each resolution and setting configuration for a minimum of 10 minutes, before averaging and parsing the frame time data.

AMD discounts old stock until gone __ it is hard to keep up.
I prefer *less than bleeding edge* __ the example you have given is the Ryzen 5 3600.
$149.06 at Amazon has me interested {| ;--|)

3600X was $250 at launch. You are comparing a discounted 3600 price to a newly released CPU... of a higher tier (non-X vs. X)... during a pandemic with mostly heightened tech prices.Prices will come down, and Ryzen 5 5600 is rumored to come in at $220 in early 2021.

You have to back that up ~~~ LOL
The Ryzen 5 5600x is butting heads with the i7-10770K at $387 (or $88 less). Is this one of your Ass Facts?

It will come down just like Ryzen 3000 CPUs went down. Probably in response to Rocket Lake in Q1.Smell This - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
I don't know.
The AMD product mix is seriously stout with last gen with +2 threads. a 3700X is killer and comparable to the new 5600X. There will be a 5600 but at $260 will slobber-knock Intel 6-core

nandnandnand did say it was a rumour, so there's no need to be rude. A quick search on Google brought up articles on The Guru of 3D, KitGuru, TweakTown, OC3D, NotebookCheck and TechPowerUp, either referring to a Korean translation or a table from VideoCardz.com. One theory is that AMD is waiting for 400-series BIOS updates to be released.Smell This - Thursday, November 5, 2020 - link
Backed up by WCCF ?? LOL
~~ you guys have bumped your heads

And you're just a troll with no counter-argument, and nothing of interest to add.Smell This - Friday, November 6, 2020 - link
Troll? LOLOnce again, you guys have bumped your heads. It is all a circle-jerk that links back to itself and WCCF

"Recently, this article was posted, but I couldn't find the post's source. 😭 My search ability is still low…"
Bigger LOL __ You included searches that have nothing to do with NotebookCheck and TechPowerUp
Who is the TROLL??? HA!
Go away

1) The word "rumor" has been emphasised on various occasions. How you're struggling to comprehend that is beyond me.2) AMD will launch lower-end parts within one or two quarters. It's what they've done since Zen came out in 2017.
3) NotebookCheck did indeed make a news post referencing harukaze5719
4) TechPowerUp did indeed credit the source of their news post to @harukaze5719
