2060 Super and equals the original

RTX 2070 in performance. The

GeForce RTX 2070 Super is the fastest

new card of the lot, but it costs

significantly more than AMD’s Navi

duo after their pre-launch price drops.

Far Cry: New Dawn

Another Ubisoft title, Far Cry: New

Dawn drags Far Cry 5’s wonderful

gameplay into a post-apocalyptic

future of its own, though this vision

is a lot more bombastic—and

pink—than The Division 2’s bleak

setting. The game runs on the latest

version of the long-running Dunia

engine, and it’s slightly more

strenuous than Far Cry 5’s built-in

benchmark.

The Radeon RX 5700 wallops the

RTX 2060 Founders Edition for the

same price, while the Radeon RX

5700 XT delivers performance on a

par with its competitor.

Strange Brigade

Strange Brigade ($50 on Humble at

go.pcworld.com/bysb) is a

cooperative third-person shooter

where a team of adventurers blasts

through hordes of mythological

enemies. It’s a technological

showcase, built around the next-gen

Vulkan and DirectX 12 technologies
