Death Stranding is an action game developed by Kojima Productions. It is the first game from director Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions after their split from Konami in 2015. It was released by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 in November 2019 and by 505 Games for Windows in July 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Decima. We test using the Very High preset, with TAA, DX12 API.

 

Moving onto Death Stranding, here we have a good example of Intel outperforming AMD for 1080p gaming, as our Intel system pulls 10% ahead of the 3900XT Gen4 test data.

That difference is eliminated at 1440p resolution, and there we can see the AMD Gen4 system edging ahead of the AMD Gen3 system by 5FPS, or 3%. At 4K, there's a 2FPS/2% lead for the Gen4 data as well.
