ComputerBase has again updated the test course for graphics cards. At the beginning, 23 graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia had to prove themselves in the new Ryzen 5000 test system. The results show shifts that also affect Ampere and RDNA 2. It is also clear: 6 GB of memory are at the end.
Even if the critical delivery situation and massively inflated prices for graphics cards remain in their minds as a reminder of the year 2020 for many PC gamers, the graphics card market was also technically and with a view to the competition between AMD and Nvidia more exciting than ever before.
New games, drivers, Ryzen 5000 and Resizable BAR
Nvidia had presented the GeForce RTX 3000 with Ampere and raised the performance bar a good bit higher than its predecessor. And then came AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 with RDNA 2. With a huge step up in terms of performance, efficiency and features, gamers had the choice of a GeForce or a Radeon graphics card for the first time in seven years. The editorial team accompanied the new product launches, which take place almost every week, with a true graphics card test marathon.
All tests were carried out with a test course, which was only intended as a transition course from the start and primarily contained results from high-end graphics cards. A Ryzen 9 3900 XT was used as the CPU. After the first seven tested graphics cards of the new generation, the transition course is already obsolete after only five months. New games, new drivers, new BIOS versions and the launch of Ryzen 5000 as the fastest gaming PC platform also speak in favor of this step.
In this article, ComputerBase presents what exactly has been changed and what the results and the differences are.
These are the games we tested
The total of 17 games tested included 10 newcomers, so there are more newcomers than long-established titles. And since the games used have a strong influence on the benchmark results, the potential for major changes in the rating is high.
In the past five months there have been numerous new games, especially with the blockbuster products there has been one new release after the other. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs: Legion made it into the course. The other new releases are all a size smaller in terms of production effort, but still have absolutely high-quality cast with Dirt 5, Hitman 3, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Serious Sam 4 and Star Wars: Squadrons. And with Gears 5, a title is now represented in the course that had actually long since passed. But since the PC version has received the same new graphics optimizations as the version for the Xbox Series X, there is an unexpected comeback.
