F1 2020

We use the DirectX 12 mode, TAA, and the Ultra High quality preset.

F1 2020 at 1080p sees the Ryzen 5 5600X delivering the same promising numbers as the higher-end Zen 3 siblings. AMD’s newest six-core chip comfortably outperforms its logical Zen 2 and Comet Lake competitors.

At 1440p, the performance is still strong, with AMD’s Zen 3 6-core basically matching the chart-toppers when accounting for error and variance margins. The Core i5-10600K does score a little better though.
