Kingdom Come Deliverance is a convincing technical showcase, and also happens to include an ultra high graphical preset intended for future hardware. This content is hosted on an external platform, which will only display it if you accept targeting cookies. More cores can deliver smoother, more consistent performance in many games, even if the difference may be subtle in benchmarks. Also interesting is that thanks to access to two more cores, the 2600 (and by extension, 1600 AF) has better lowest one per cent scores, while its average is not skewed as much by the highest one per cent. Given that the Ryzen 1600 AF should perform within a few percentage points of the 2600 and normally costs around $85, this is another instance where that little-advertised processor could be your best value option. The Ryzen 2600 is another interesting point of comparison, recording a score that's three per cent faster than the $100 Ryzen 3100 but ten per cent behind the $120 3300X. Meanwhile, Intel's Core i7 and Core i9 models take the overall win at nearly 200fps. The 3300X is 13 per cent to the better, at 160fps, but the rest of our Ryzen processors are able to use their higher core counts to attain scores in the 170s.

It's all about the averages then, with the 3100 recording the lowest score of only 141fps. Looking first at the worst one per cent scores, we can see that there's little to separate each CPU not even the 3100 sees any stutter or frame-time spikes that will affect playability. While our graphics benchmark showcases the explosive finale to the Welcome To The Jungle mission, our CPU test uses an earlier (and only slightly less explosive) scene from the same level, where Prophet and Psycho have a calm discussion about the best way to handle a tricky situation. We begin with a stone-cold classic: Crysis 3. Meanwhile, clicking the graph swaps you into percentages, which is arguably a worthier metric for judging relative performance. The results here are intriguing, with the 3300X showing it can keep up with processors many times more expensive - and the 3100 not lagging too far behind.Īs usual, remember that you can mouse over the results in the tables below (if you're using a desktop browser) to get dynamically generated performance differentials between all processors. After all, the most challenging scene in the world isn't worth much if it takes twenty minutes to get there from the nearest autosave! In selecting these scenes, we aim for something that requires little player input (to ensure it's repeatable), puts more stress on the CPU than the GPU at lower resolutions and doesn't take too long to capture. Two of these from older titles - Crysis 3 and The Witcher 3 - while the other two are from recent releases, Metro Exodus and Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Our gaming analysis continues with four live gameplay sequences.
