GTA: V and Hitman 2

Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V favors Intel architectures and, more generally, multi-core designs with high clock rates. The 3700X with its combination of PBO and an all-core overclock again offers roughly the same performance as the tuned 3800X.

Hitman

Hitman finds an oddity: The tuned 3700X actually ekes out a slim win over both overclocked 3800X configurations, but the differences are slight.
