Benchmarks, Test system and evaluation software
For the benchmarks, I chose the same 10 games, analogous to the launch article, weighting between old and new, and AMD- or NVIDIA-specific. Since everything is very similar to the launch article of the Radeon cards, this time there is only a cumulative summary of all games with a detailed explanation for each resolution. The power consumption is also given in great detail, as you are used to.
The benchmark system is new and I am now also using PCIe 4.0, matching X570 motherboards in the form of the MSI MEG X570 Godlike and a selected Ryzen 9 5900X that has been water cooled overclocked (PBO + 500 MHz). Add to that the matching DDR4 4000 RAM from Corsair, as well as several fast NVMe SSDs. For direct logging during all games and applications, I use my own measurement station with shunts and riser card, as well as NVIDIA’s PCAT in games, which adds to the convenience immensely.
The measurement of the detailed power consumption and other, more profound things takes place here in the special laboratory on a redundant and in detail identical test system then double-tracked by means of high-resolution oscillograph technology…
…and the self-created MCU-based measurement setup for motherboards and graphics cards (pictures below), where at the end in the air-conditioned room also the thermographic infrared images are created with a high-resolution industrial camera. The audio measurements are done outside in my Chamber (room within a room).
I have also summarized the individual components of the test system in a table:
