Ryzen 7 9800X3D showed a significant increase in minimum FPS in games compared to Ryzen 7 9700X

The publication of the first independent reviews of the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming processor is expected tomorrow, November 6, the day before the start of sales of the new chip. As VideoCardz writes, one of the reviewers decided not to wait for the ban on publishing game tests of the new processor to end, so you can familiarize yourself with them now.

It should immediately be noted that the source published test results for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D in a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels, which is atypical for testing processor performance, instead of 1920 × 1080 pixels, and also used a mid-level video card GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, instead of the older RTX 4090 or RTX 4080. which are usually used to eliminate the influence of the GPU on benchmark performance.

However, the overall picture shows a significant increase in gaming performance of the new chip compared to the previously released regular Ryzen 7 9700X (also eight-core, without additional cache, and with a TDP of 65 W instead of 120 W for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D). The increase is especially noticeable in terms of minimum FPS (1% low and 0.1% low).

In Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield gaming tests run at high graphics settings without ray tracing, FSR and DLSS, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D provided a 10.3 percent and 27.9 percent performance advantage in minimum FPS (1% low), but In terms of average FPS (average), the new product turned out to be 1 frame per second slower than the Ryzen 7 9700X model.

In Project Cars 3 and Counter Strike (both games ran at 1440p with maximum graphics quality settings), the Ryzen 7 9800X3D was on average 11-15% faster than the regular Ryzen 7 9700X and 25-29% more efficient in terms of minimum FPS.

In the rendering test, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D showed a 5.1% increase in multi-threaded performance in Cinebench 2024, but in the single-threaded performance test, the new product was 1.5% behind the Ryzen 7 9700X. In Blender tests, the new chip was 2-3% slower.

Full reviews of the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, in which the new chip will be compared with competitors, are expected on November 6.
