Gaming Performance (Dy-St)
In our game performance testing, we are utilizing an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 FE video card. We are running each game at 1080p, Native Resolution, and we are using mostly the highest game settings. However, in Clair Obscur, we have lowered the game settings. We are using manual in-game run-throughs for each game and reporting the average FPS and 1% Lows. It is important to note the 1% Lows in many instances, especially in those where the AVG is close; the 1% Lows may not be. All games are running the latest versions. All graphs are organized from fastest to slowest, which means in this case the Ryzen 7 7700X3D will be at the bottom of each graph, highlighted in orange.
Dying Light The Beast
In Dying Light The Beast, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has the same AVG performance as the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. However, they do not have the same 1% Lows; the Ryzen 7 9800X3D improves upon the 1% Low performance by 15% over the Ryzen 7 7700X3D.
Hogwarts Legacy
In Hogwarts Legacy, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is much faster at 25% more performance over the Ryzen 7 7700X3D and 16% faster in 1% Lows.
Horizon Forbidden West
In Horizon Forbidden West, both CPUs seem to perform very similarly, no difference in this area of the game, though there may be other areas, in villages or town areas that show a performance difference to a greater degree.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is just 2% faster than the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, with similar 1% Lows.
Resident Evil Requiem
In Resident Evil Requiem, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 9% faster in average performance and 9% faster in 1% Lows.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Note: we have Stalker 2 updated to the new Update 2.0, specifically patch 2.0.2. In Stalker 2, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 17% faster in the average performance and 21% faster in the 1% Lows, which at these framerates helps a whole lot!

Join Discussion →Seems a big uograde.. but all the other costs make me think.. if i was on the previous Gen I would stick there. Make it a 2 gen leap to feel worth while.
I'm still on Zen3/DDR4 but right now sure as heck isn't the time to jump from that platform.
It is curious this Zen4 is being released now, and I'm actually surprised it's as competitive as it is (with respect to price/performance and all)
Could be yields that couldn't cut it at the 7800X3D spec. But they must have a lot of them to release it as a new SKU. I dunno.
Its a decent config for a budget gamer, or wanting a small, not power hungry, cool running build.
Or more concerned with the GPU that's another 100 bucks you can put toward your GPU tier.
