Dunia engine, and it’s slightly more
strenuous than Far Cry 5’s built-in
benchmark.
Although we start to see frame
rates stall as the game becomes
increasingly CPU-bound at lower
resolutions with the most-ultra
powerful graphics cards, the same
trends continue as before: The Super
duo kicks a lot more butt than their
predecessors do, and the Radeon VII
succumbs to the might of a graphics
card that costs $200 less.

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
and infused with features like HDR
support and the ability to toggle
asynchronous compute on and off.
It uses Rebellion’s custom Azure
engine. We test the DX12 renderer
with async compute off.
This game adores Radeon’s
architecture, and the Radeon VII
manages to stave off the GeForce RTX
2070 Super for once—barely. But the
