AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X & 1950X Review

Grand Theft Auto V

In GTA V we take a simple approach to benchmarking: the in-game benchmark tool is used. However, due to the randomness within the game itself, only the last sequence is actually used since it best represents gameplay mechanics. 

Overwatch

Overwatch happens to be one of the most popular games around right now and while it isn’t particularly stressful upon a system’s resources, its Epic setting can provide a decent workout for all but the highest end GPUs. In order to eliminate as much variability as possible, for this benchmark we use a simple “offline” Bot Match so performance isn’t affected by outside factors like ping times and network latency.

Finally we start to see some separation in GTA but once again the real stars of this show are the lower priced four to eight core models from AMD and Intel. Those little CPUs are just amazing values for gaming! Threadripper keeps it close to the i9 though, which is great news. Finally Overwatch is just more of the same as it doesn’t care if you have a $200 processor or one that costs $1000 to deliver the best performance.
