3DMark Steel Nomad and Time Spy (AMD FX-8350 with MSI RTX 3060 12GB)

(Disclaimer: If your motherboard can handle a higher load/increase in temps, turn off Cool & Quiet in the bios along with other power management features that favor throttling. This will help with stutter/frame drops some and in general, contribute to maximum performance. Also keep in mind that recording utilities do have some impact on performance. And lastly, the goal of any given test is to see if the game can at least be run at some kind of console experience, if not better. Due to that, if necessary, I will point out if a frame cap would be ideal.)

Testing out Steel Nomad and Time Spy on the AMD FX-8350, with the RTX 3060 12GB, and 32GB system ram with SSD for game storage. Will probably be the final test of the year, as enough has now been tested out on the FX-8350 from the past few years to show its current status in gaming usability.
