10 months agoOn a 3060 Ti, RDR2 should run at 60-80 FPS in St. Denis with ultra settings at 1080p. With HUB optimized settings you can get over 100 FPS with a 3060 Ti. This is with a 5900X. Without DLSS too.
Don’t even need to say anything about CS2.
It’s a waste of money to upgrade for the games you play.
I don’t expect a 30% perf/clock improvement over Raptor Cove cores. I will stick with Intel’s record of delivering ~19% perf/clock with each “tock” in recent years, if we are to still follow that terminology.
Meteor Lake is targeting 5.0-5.1 GHz fmax on mobile, which is due to how Intel 4 ended up. Historically speaking, in the FinFET era, Intel has a learning phase with process nodes - they take their time to figure out a particular node, address its shortcomings, and then come out hitting hard on the next node shrink.
It happened with 22nm to 14nm, and again with 10nm (which was a colossal disaster), from which they salvaged Intel 7, where fmax can reach 6 GHz and more!
Intel 4 is not the disaster that 10nm was, which bodes well for Intel 3. That, coupled with some leaks suggesting that Arrow Lake-S will have a PL2 of 177 W means that Intel 3 is likely to have a steep voltage-frequency curve, therefore I agree with the larger point that you are making.
