It's due to a trick they used: Days gone doesn't need much CPU power, so even with a 3090 there would be no big difference between CPUs. So to really max out the CPUs and remove the GPU limit, they basically reduced the rendering resolution to 10% of 720p, down to 128x72 pixel. It's blurry af, but that way they finally managed to remove the GPU limit. Days gone doesn't need many CPU, just clock speed and IPC. Since they enforce Intel's TDP limitation (so no endless boosting with 200W+ power consumption) the Intel CPUs can't boost throughout the benchmark and drop down below Zen 3. |
So, basically, this is a pointless test because the scenario used for it is so out of reality that it doesn't matter.
