AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen Review: 2700X And 2600X Deliver More Performance Per Dollar
Ryzen 7 2700X And Ryzen 5 2600X: Physics, Gaming, And Graphics
For our next series of tests, we moved on to some game-related metrics with 3DMark, specifically the physics benchmark that's part of the Fire Strike test, along with a couple of actual games. For the 3DMark Physics test, we simply create a custom 3DMark run consisting solely of the physics test, which is CPU dependent, and report the results...

We also ran some high-resolution game and graphics tests on our test rigs 3DMark, Middle Earth: Shadow Of War and Rise Of The Tomb Raider. We used 3DMark's Fire Strike Extreme preset, and both of the games were run in two different configurations -- either 1080p with Medium details, or 4K with High/Very High details. The lower resolution tests are more CPU bound, while the higher resolution tests are more GPU bound.
With the resolution cranked up to 4K and image quality details increased, the larger performance deltas witnessed in the 1080p tests essentially vanish and all of the platforms are limited by the GPU.
