1st party still, but nice to have a per game breakdown of all models.
Seems SAM is enabled, which I am not sure how much this affects anything.
Either way, if you were planning on using a new Zen 3 CPU anyway, these 1440p results are really impressive. Assuming they’re correct, anyway.
At least SAM is one of those “you will actually experience it” things, not some specific optimisation made for one benchmark that does nothing anywhere else. Naturally the amount of benefit will vary (and there’s doubtless going to be the odd edge case where there’s a regression) but more for free is still more.
Damned shame it requires a 5K Ryzen to use, though. Can’t put one of those on my X370. But I guess it needs the PCIe controller to work in tandem.
Really interested in seeing third party benchmarks when the cards are released.
While I’m really happy with what I’m seeing and hope AMD is actually starting to reach parity, I think I’ll probably skip this generation. My 2070 is handling Shadowlands at 1440p/144hz and it doesn’t look like wow RT is worthwhile yet.
I’m hoping that by the next generation, high refresh 4k will be a realistic affordable alternative.
BTW: My forum toons were level squished out of being able to post. I had to level them both back up to 10 - thought the forums were broken for a few days when they disappeared! 
SAM is nothing new. It exists on Linux already. The perf uplift is generally tiny.
Even without SAM right now the 6800 non-XT is looking like the upcoming price/perf winner of this gen’s GPU battle.
