Most informative, I will use this to help set mine up

I'm very disappointed with 2 things.....

1. not optimized for AMD multicore cpu, intel had a 16fps advantage.  I dont want to buy intel at this point, no way.  limited to 10 core and not utilizing pci-e 4, not to mention not a good investment for anything BUT gaming.  Their future roadmap doesnt show much hope either.....

2.  the R5 3600x has the same fps result as the R9 3900x! what the h3ll is going on here! 

I'm hoping the AMD 4000 series chips will change these results for the better.

Asobo lets get some AMD optimization going for this game, the new xbox will be using AMD cpu's.

Not a lot of difference between a 2080ti and the 1080ti. I guess I expected there to be more.

"...the Microsoft Store version we used for testing relies on DirectX 12 — the game is also available on Steam, however, apparently with DX11 support."

Surely this is not true !?

It is not.

Tom should stick to hardware and toothpaste. He doesn't seem to know much about software.

I really hope they can scale with more cores in the near future. I was expecting a little better performance in the low end, as the delta between hardware is small (which is good in a fashion) but when you’re dropping settings you’d hope to create a gulf rather than hit a cpu bottleneck so early.

I went with AMD because of all the hype on the internet and the intel bashing. Really disappointed right now, if I only listened to my gut I would have picked an i7 10700k, but went for the 3700X because people say "intel bad" all over the internet. Now I will be cpu limited for ever ... nice.

A little over dramatic aren't we ?

If you look at a lot of gaming benchmarks the 10600K looks the best bang for bucks in gaming at the moment.

I just lost all my money buying AMD hardware, CPU & MOBO, because of so called experts on the internet giving bad advice. I have 0 faith in Zen 3, AMD has been and will always be inferior to intel.

first at higher resolution than 1080p, the difference between your AMD and Intel is very negligible. Also your AMD will run cooler, consume less power , cost less money and will perform better in all multithreaded operation.  So, no you didn't lose your money.

yeah, surprising.  I guess that means I can hang on to my 1080ti for a bit longer!  Glad I upgraded to the 10900K though.

That is the CPU that will be going into my new build. Apparently it runs cooler than the 9th gen.
