After yesterday we told you about the results in the benchmarks, today it’s the turn of the gaming performance in the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and honestly the results that were obtained are, as we expected, they have Was much better than in benchmarks. Until what point ? Well, let’s say we were surprised and very pleasantly. Let’s see why?
Yesterday the first performance tests on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D leaked, problem: there are benchmarks that cannot take advantage of the V-Cache and if we add to that a lower clock frequency than the 5800X, because the results end up being less good. However, observations in benchmarks based on RAM access told us otherwise and we hoped to see the results in real-world applications.
And it is that in the background almost all the applications of our PC work in RAM memory. And if there’s one quintessential type of application that, nationwide, demands more from a processor than all the others, it’s PC video games. That’s why they tested the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D in games and the results were better than expected.
AMD’s judo strike to Intel, the 5800X3D beats the i9-12900KS in gaming!
While most enthusiasts await the launch of the Ryzen 7000 based on the Zen 4 architecture, the reality for AMD is in the third generation Zen, which has met two generations of Intel Core since its launch. The answer to the Intel Core 12? Well, AMD has launched a single processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which with its 96 MB L3, thanks to V-Cache, is able to increase, according to its creators, the average performance by 15%.
Of course, words need real demonstrations and this has been done. And it was measured Ryzen 7 5800X3D performance in gamesin particular, it was taken for the game Shadow of the Tomb Raider as a performance benchmark in comparison with i9-12900K and i9-12900KS. However, the hardware the game was tested on was different, as Intel systems used memory DDR5-4800while with AMD’s they did it with DDR4-3200 memory. Graphics card used? Nail RTX-3090Ti in the case of Core 12. In the case of AMD? An RTX 3080Ti.
The test results? Well, on the face of it, the Intel processors should win, but setting the game to 720P resolution so that the graphics influence the performance as little as possible. In other words, forcing an underutilization of the two NVIDIA beasts. What was achieved was a 231 FPS result for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D compared to the 190 frames per second and the 200FPS i9-12900 and i9-12900KS respectively. In any case, we cannot trust a single sample and we have to see how the AMD processor performs in the rest of the games.
