Gaming Performance (Al-Do)
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 and Dying Light The Beast, 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 by AVG.
Alan Wake 2

Now it comes to gaming, and we are all interested in this result! Starting off with Alan Wake 2, there is an actual gaming performance difference between the CPUs! The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is 4% faster than the Ryzen 9 9900X on average, and the 1% Lows are 5% faster, so there is a real difference here with the 9950X.
Battlefield 6

In Battlefield 6, the results are a bit more tempered between the CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is 2% faster than the Ryzen 9 9900X in average performance, and the 1% Lows are the same.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

However, that changes in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We lowered this game to Medium quality to avoid GPU bottlenecking in this particular game. We can clearly see a nice advantage with the AMD Ryzen 9950X in this game. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is 6% faster in average FPS and 5% faster in 1% Lows.
Crimson Desert

In Crimson Desert we are using a new manual run-through inside a town, that stresses the CPU more than the out and open world for GPU testing. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is actually 6% faster than the Ryzen 9 9900X in average FPS and 13% faster in 1% Lows! That is very significant for this game and its playstyle.
Cyberpunk 2077

Note that for ALL testing above, we are using the newly released Patch 2.5 Update for Cyberpunk 2077. This data represents the new patch being installed. Cyberpunk 2077 is more tamed; the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is 3% faster than the Ryzen 9 9900X in average FPS and 5% faster in 1% Lows.
Doom: The Dark Ages

In Doom: The Dark Ages, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X is 3% faster than the Ryzen 9 9900X in average FPS and the 1% Lows are the same.
