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.

All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

It would have the exact same power draw under AVX512 as AVX2. The 142ishW draw is socket maximum. The only way to increase power draw to the CPU socket is to change sockets.maroon1 - Tuesday, March 30, 2021 - link
Only way to get same power draw with AVX-512 is to lower clock speed a lot which effects performanceschujj07 - Tuesday, March 30, 2021 - link
That doesn't change the fact that Ryzen is socket limited for power draw. While lowering clocks affects performance, AVX512 could still be faster at same power draw on Ryzen.whatthe123 - Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - link
Zen 3 isn't socket limited. All you have to do is enable PBO and you can manually set the package limit to whatever you want. I can set my 5900x power limit to whatever I want, though the boost gains aren't worth the extra heat.Qasar - Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - link
um yes it is, 142 watts is as much as it can use : " Notably, AMD's decision to stick with the AM4 socket still constrains its maximum power consumption to 142W, which means that it could not increase power consumption for the new flagship models.

Hrm um yeah, no, you're wrong.Gamers nexus measured over 190 watts on a 2700x, which is socket AM4:

Thats overclocked, non overclocked wattage is 142W. Nice try.SaturnusDK - Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - link
AM4 and whatever intel calls the current iteration of the 1150/1151/1200 socket has the exact same technical power limit. Well, almost. It's 142W vs 144W. Usually written as 125W (+15%).You can safely draw double that wattage through the socket though on both platforms. The interesting thing is that the 11th gen apparently throws all sense and caution to the wind in an attempt to stay competitive that they're willing to accept an obscene RMA percentage on the sales.

Toms literally contradicts itself in that article by running 5900x with PBO at 172 watt. Socket is not the limit, the bios imposed PPT is the limit.Oxford Guy - Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - link
What cooler was used? It bet it was stronger than the Noctua used here for AMD.
