Gaming Benchmarks

We have recently updated our gaming test platform with an RTX 2080 Ti, and thus the data isn’t comparable with our older results. We have also modified the testing suite to include some more recent titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs Legion.

3DMark 10

We used the latest version of 3DMark 10 available at the time of this writing.

In this test, we again see little variance across our Ryzen 9 5900X test systems.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

In this test, we see almost identical results out of the two 5900X test systems. However, with PBO enabled, we see considerable improvements to maximum FPS, but not averages or minimums.

Once we move into GPU limited territory, the results end up being pretty consistent across all the test platforms.

Hitman 2

There is remarkable consistency in this test even at CPU limited resolutions which was unexpected.

Moving into GPU-bound territory, we see larger differences than I’d usually expect. Hitman 2 has always been weird when it comes to CPU utilization though. Here we see AMD with slightly higher averages but a lower maximum FPS. Minimums favor Intel by quite a bit, making the 10900K the best choice in my opinion. At least, where this one game is concerned.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint – Vulkan

In this case, we see results that are fairly consistent across each CPU configuration. PBO provides some improvements to performance which is unusual.

In the more GPU-limited test, we see more variance than we are used to seeing. This is something that only started happening with the RTX 2080 Ti. Using the 2080 Super or older cards, we never saw this much difference between test configurations. That being said, we do see the 5900X providing the best performance here.

Watch Dogs Legion

Again, the results are about what was expected.

In this test, AMD leads Intel by a good bit. PBO gave us higher maximum FPS, but lower minimums and averages. We are largely GPU limited, and as such our results are consistent in terms of minimums and averages. However, maximum FPS is all a bit more spread out, especially when looking at the PBO vs. stock results for the 5900X. We also see unusually low max FPS from the ASRock X570 PG Velocita, which is unusual.

Cyberpunk 2077 v1.1

Cyberpunk 2077 v.1.1 was used for our testing here. At the time the testing was performed, the 1.2 patches hadn’t yet been released. However, this will be updated soon as version 1.2x does increase performance by a noticeable amount.

In Cyberpunk, we see some pretty odd results, with PBO delivering the highest averages for minimum and average FPS for the 5900X’s. However, the 10900K is ultimately slightly faster in this test.

In this test, we are heavily GPU limited. Oddly, Intel provides the worst minimum FPS, but not the worst averages. The general performance is pretty close across all test systems. Although, Cyberpunk performance isn’t always that consistent in the first place, (even when GPU limited) so take it for what you will.
