Discrete GPU Gaming Tests

1080p Max with RTX 2080 Ti

The last generation flagship GPU might be considered a bit overkill for 1080p gaming, however when we start cranking up settings, we end up crossing the realm from high refresh rate gaming down to regular gaming, and the CPU can end up being the bottleneck here. It provides an interesting set of results.

A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.

(a-4) Chernobylite - 1080p Max - Average FPS

Generation on generation, we're getting a small bump in Chernobylite.

(b-7) Civilization VI - 1080p Max - Average FPS(b-8) Civilization VI - 1080p Max - 95th Percentile

One of the critical elements here is that Civilization 6 likes the Zen 3 cores, but only when there's enough L3 cache to go around.

(c-7) Deus Ex MD - 1080p Max - Average FPS(c-8) Deus Ex MD - 1080p Max - 95th Percentile

Deus Ex gets a sizeable uplift with the new APUs over the previous generation.

(d-4) Final Fantasy 14 - 1080p Max - Average FPS

144 Hz on Final Fantasy 14, these chips are ready.

(h-7) F1 2019 - 1080p Ultra - Average FPS(h-8) F1 2019 - 1080p Ultra - 95th Percentile

F1 2019 is a game that enjoys the Zen 3 change as well.

(i-7) Far Cry 5 - 1080p Ultra - Average FPS(i-8) Far Cry 5 - 1080p Ultra - 95th Percentile

(l-7) Red Dead 2 - 1080p Max - Average FPS(l-8) Red Dead 2 - 1080p Max - 95th Percentile

    There's a silly number of errors in the first page of this review. The 5600G does not have "8 cores". Intel didn't "cut" AMD products from the market. Cezanne processors don't use "Zen 3 graphics".

    Please proof your work, we expect better from Anandtech.

    "we expect better from Anandtech"

    If you've been around since Anand left, you really shouldn't. I don't know who's nominally in charge nowadays but they CBA to perform basic proofreading on most articles.

    When are we going to see 16-20 CUs? Then you could really say you're replacing a GPU.

    Rembrandt will have RDNA 2 and up to 12 CUs, which should provide acceptable 1080p performance. It will fall short of the Xbox Series S, but not by too much if the graphics clock is higher. It will also have DDR5, better I/O, AV1 decode, etc.

    Imagine if a Ryzen 7 6700G (OEM) came out in the next 8 months or so.

    Will Rembrandt run on AM4 still?
  • nandnandnand - Wednesday, August 4, 2021 - link

    DDR5 = AM5. In fact, maybe it will end up being the very first CPUs on AM5.

    As I mentioned above, Rembrandt will likely use RDNA1 instead of RDNA2. Drivers for an RDNA1 based APU were just submitted to the Linux kernel a few days ago.
  • nandnandnand - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link

    See above. Rembrandt will use RDNA 2. It might be referred to as "Yellow Carp".

    since Van Gogh (Steam Deck) uses 8CU of RDNA2, I think the next generation of APU (Rembrandt) will also features 8CU. Although the moves to DDR5 and possible inclusion of 3D cache (similar to infinity cache) will help performance a lot.

    This is all are rumour, though.

    Rembrandt should have up to 12 CUs. With higher bandwidth from DDR5, perhaps integrated graphics performance will be doubled from the 5800H/5700G. 1080p60 should be achievable in many games, with some settings turned down.

    I do not expect Rembrandt to have Infinity Cache, 3D V-Cache, L4 cache/HBM, or increased cache whatsoever (Cezanne already doubled from Renoir, and quadrupled the amount each core could access). Any cache improvement would be a pleasant surprise.
