AMD Optimized Performance Profile (OPP), a new feature that is being introduced alongside Ryzen 9000 Series processors, offering a DDR5-6000 CL30 overclocking profile to enhance memory and gaming performance, is capable of boosting gaming performance as high as 17%, according to new benchmarks shared by MSI derived from the testing of various titles, including Far Cry 6, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Cyberpunk 2077. Further performance gains can be achieved by enabling some of MSI’s unique settings, including MSI High-Efficiency Mode and MSI Memory Try It! + High-Efficiency Mode, the latter of which is said to deliver up to 10% faster performance than AMD OPP.
Performance claims from MSI:
- “AMD Optimized Performance Profile – Boosts Gaming Performance by 17%.”
- “AMD OPP + MSI High-Efficiency Mode – Further Boosts Gaming Performance by 2~8%.”
- “MSI Memory Try It! + High-Efficiency Mode – Gaming Performance 3~10% Faster than AMD OPP, 6~21% Faster than Default.”
The hardware involved includes:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- Motherboard: MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI
- Memory: Galax HOF Pro D5-7200 16GB x2, Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-6000 16GB x2
- Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB SUPRIM X
- CPU Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID I360
- Power Supply: MSI MEG Ai1000P PCIE5
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2
Memory profiles tested:
- Stock – DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39-77
- EXPO – DDR5-6000 CL36-38-38-80
- AMD OPP – DDR5-6000 CL30-38-38-96
- Memory Try It! – DDR5-6000 CL28-35-35-60
MSI Memory Try It! + High-Efficiency Mode benchmarks:
MSI on the performance-enhancing combo:
Compared to the AMD OPP DDR5-6000 CL30-38-38-96 setting, Memory Try It! offers higher frequency and tighter timing combinations for better performance. For example, the DDR5-6000 CL28-35-35-60 setting reduces memory latency by about 7% compared to AMD OPP. When combined with the Tighter preset from High-Efficiency Mode, latency is reduced by about 10% compared to AMD OPP.

So, did the reviewers that have been complaining that Zen5 is a disappointment just miss this little nugget, or is it already baked into their results?

Can you link a couple of those reviews because I've missed them.

Difference is miniscule compared to the 6000C30 kit that AMD recommends themselves.

Tubesphere is full of them; main complaint is that power usage and performance are the same as previous for gaming, while cost increased versus current retail.
So it's not complaints that the first two 9000-series are bad, just that they aren't a good value for gaming.

The value equation will likely change - I don't expect the 7000 series to remain on the market once they sell through stock at current prices. That will allow the 9000 series prices to fall a little bit with nothing to cannibalize.

Yup. If anything, we should understand that AMD essentially doesn't have a choice in releasing the 9000-series - it's what they're making now, these dies have already been in Epyc SKUs and will replace all production.

It's almost as if people forget PC's are used for more than just gaming.
If all you want to do is game, just wait for the X3D variants.
probably less than 1% of the time I spend on PC's is spent gaming, and I get the impression I play more games than the average grown ass adult.

they are no good value for 1080p gaming
