Far Cry 5

Publisher: Ubisoft

We test using the game's built-in benchmark that runs through various zones of the Far Cry 5 world and has a detailed readout of performance, where we record the minimum and average frame rates. We use the ultra setting with an unrestricted frame rate at 1,920 x 1,080 with all other settings at default.

Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark that runs at 1440p. It is designed to properly utilise the advantages of the DirectX 12 API. The benchmark is available for free, but you'll need to pay to change any of the settings, including the resolution. We use the default settings, so you should easily be able to compare your score.

I don't get it.
Carbon, it's not exactly good for thermal performance. It's like Porsche launching the new copper model.
Who wants to own the Porsche copper?
Right at the start I'm put off by lack of trueness, even if it does perform well and is good value and a couple of carbon slap-ons make no difference.
