Gaming Performance Continued
Far Cry 6
In Far Cry 6, we are running the game with HD Textures installed and turned on, at “Ultra” graphics settings, and utilizing the benchmark.
Far Cry 6 is another game where we find large differences in performance between CPUs. The new Intel Core i5-12400 is the clear winner here, offering better performance at all three resolutions, even 4K, compared to all the other CPUs on this graph. The Intel Core i5-12400 is 6% faster than the 5600X at 1080p, 5% faster at 1440p and 2% faster at 4K. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G APU really takes a nosedive in this game on performance, even at 4K. It’s really only on par with the 3600X, considering both are on different architectures (Zen 3 versus Zen 2) this is pretty terrible for the 5600G. The Intel Core i5-12400 is 24% faster at 1080p, 17% faster at 1440p and 8% faster at 4K compared to the 5600G. Those are pretty big numbers for the CPU making a difference in gameplay performance.
Watch Dogs Legion
We also find very large differences in performance in Watch Dogs Legion with these CPUs. Once again the Intel Core i5-12400 is coming out way on top at 1080p and 1440p. The 12400 is 10% faster at 1080p compared to the 5600X and 6% faster at 1440p. The Ryzen 5 5600G once again takes a nosedive in performance and is even slower than the 5600X at 1080p and 1440p. The 12400 is 26% faster at 1080p and 15% faster at 1440p, these are very large and noticeable differences.
Crysis Remastered
Lastly, we also see drastic framerate performance differences in Crysis Remastered. The Ryzen 5 5600X beats the Intel Core i5-12400 at 1080p by just 2%, but at 1440p and 4K they are even. The Ryzen 5 5600G struggles for performance in this game as well, with the 5600X offering better performance at every resolution. The 12400 also offers better performance than the 5600G, it’s 14% faster at 1080p and 9% faster at 1440p, and even 4% faster at 4K.
