AMD Ryzen 3 1300X & 1200 Performance Review

Editor-in-Chief

Deus Ex – Mankind Divided

Deus Ex titles have historically combined excellent storytelling elements with action-forward gameplay and Mankind Divided is no difference. This run-through uses the streets and a few sewers of the main hub city Prague along with a short action sequence involving gunplay and grenades.

 

Doom

Not many people saw a new Doom as a possible Game of the Year contender but that’s exactly what it has become. Not only is it one of the most intense games currently around but it looks great and is highly optimized. In this run-through we use Mission 6: Into the Fire since it features relatively predictable enemy spawn points and a combination of open air and interior gameplay. 

Deus Ex sees the graphics card become a lot more of a bottleneck so at the top end at the processors between the Ryzen 5 1400 and i7-7700K literally offer the same performance. That includes the surprisingly fast Ryzen 3 1300X as well. The 1200 shows some respectable results too

Much like Call of Duty, Doom has an in-engine rendering cap that limits performance to 200 frames per second. However, while the Ryzen 3 1300X is able to keep up with the big boys, as is the more affordable Ryzen 3 1200.
