Far Cry 5
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V favors Intel architectures and, more generally, multi-core designs with high clock rates.
This title prefers the higher boost clock rates available through PBO. Though Intel led through our benchmark, it is clear that AMD's targeted improvements made Threadripper 2950X a much more agile competitor than the previous-gen model.
Hitman
Our Hitman benchmark was rendered almost useless by a patch that imposed a 90 FPS performance cap. A subsequent update restored our test to its prior glory.
The 0.3 FPS difference between our all-core overclock and PBO turned on fell within a margin of error.
