PCWorld – August 2019

AUGUST 2019 PCWorld 75

And the Radeon RX 5700 XT is well

ahead of it.

Ghost Recon Wildlands

Move over, Crysis. If you crank all the

graphics options up to 11, like we do

for these tests, Ghost Recon Wildlands

($50 on Humble at go.pcworld.com/

recn) and its AnvilNext 2.0 engine

absolutely melt GPUs, even with a

sequel due later this year. It’s by far the

most strenuous game in our suite,

even with newer stunners like The

Division 2 in the mix.

Ghost Recon Wildlands also prefers

Nvidia’s GPU architecture in general—or

at least it used to. The overhauled

RDNA architecture definitely shook

something up, leveling the playing field

in games that preferred GeForce GPUs

in prior generations. The Radeon RX

5700 duo manages to draw effectively

even with both Super cards here—as

well as the far pricier $700 Radeon VII.

F1 2018

The latest in a long line of successful

games, F1 2018 ($60 on Humble at

go.pcworld.com/f118) is a gem to

test, supplying a wide array of both

graphical and benchmarking options—

making it a much more reliable (and

fun) option than the Forza series. It’s

built on the fourth version of
