Far Cry New Dawn is an action-adventure first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. The game is a spin-off of the Far Cry series and a narrative sequel to Far Cry 5. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 15, 2019. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Ultra preset, with the  HD Textures pack, DX11 API.

There's not a whole lot of difference between any of our 5600 XT configurations at 1080p, as the Gaming X is 2% ahead of the Pulse using the old BIOS, and only 3% behind the Pulse using its new BIOS.

Upping the resolution does change things though – here, the Gaming X is now 3% faster than the Pulse using 12Gbps memory, but it is 6% slower than the Pulse when tested with 14Gbps memory.
