Gaming Tests: Deus Ex Mankind Divided

Deus Ex is a franchise with a wide level of popularity. Despite the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (DEMD) version being released in 2016, it has often been heralded as a game that taxes the CPU. It uses the Dawn Engine to create a very complex first-person action game with science-fiction based weapons and interfaces. The game combines first-person, stealth, and role-playing elements, with the game set in Prague, dealing with themes of transhumanism, conspiracy theories, and a cyberpunk future. The game allows the player to select their own path (stealth, gun-toting maniac) and offers multiple solutions to its puzzles.

DEMD has an in-game benchmark, an on-rails look around an environment showcasing some of the game’s most stunning effects, such as lighting, texturing, and others. Even in 2020, it’s still an impressive graphical showcase when everything is jumped up to the max. For this title, we are testing the following resolutions:

  • 600p Low, 1440p Low, 4K Low, 1080p Max

The benchmark runs for about 90 seconds. We do as many runs within 10 minutes per resolution/setting combination, and then take averages and percentiles.

    5800x @ 3.6-4.7ghz draws 219w and hits 82'c and locked at 4.7ghz its 231w and 88'c.

    Thats hotter than my i7-10700k @ 5.1ghz all core locked.

    Yes! All I wanted to see was on the Cache and Latency parts - the unified cache allows 6 core and 12 core setups without the penalties of having partial CCXs!

    It could be as soon as 2022 that they become properly competitive on power and performance, depending on how TSMC 5nm and Zen 4 shake out for AMD.

    Rocket Lake ought to at least given them presence in mid-range gaming, if you can stomach the power...
