High Refresh Rate Gaming CPU & GPU Analysis

Ghost Recon Breakpoint

We use the Vulkan mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Very High quality preset.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint shows strong preference for Intel’s systems when pushing past 140 FPS. AMD’s mainstream flagship 3950X does, however, hang well with the Intel pair even when coupled with an RTX 3080.

The Ryzen 5 3600XT is clearly struggling to keep pace with the more costly CPUs when coupled with high-end graphics cards. This is one of those somewhat rare situations where the six-core Zen 2 chip with a technically faster graphics card will actually run slower than an Intel competitor with a technically less powerful graphics card.

The stress of 1440p compresses the margins between different CPU options. This time, the Ryzen 5 3600XT can just about hang with the rest of the pack even when coupled with RTX 3080 calibre hardware.

This image quality level and pixel count demand is tough to push at high refresh rates. The RTX 2080 Ti manages to average a triple-digit number, but only the RTX 3080 can get past the 120 FPS level.
