We review the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Zen 4 3D V-Cache Gaming Processor and put it through its paces, focusing on the gameplay experience at 4K, 1440p, and 1080p with and without Ray Tracing. In this gaming-focused review, we find out the overall big picture of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D when it comes to gaming performance. The CPU had similar, or better performance compared to the Ryzen 9 7950X in gaming, and in specific cases, a lot more performance. It had much better performance per Watt efficiency and operated at lower power while gaming while being loaded with features. Overall the value for actual gaming performance uplift, due to the higher price, is offset and demands a premium for premium features that are forward looking.
