Borderlands 3 has the Ryzen 5 7600X performing above its price competitors from the previous generation, but slightly below the Core i5-13600K. Nevertheless, 142 FPS average and 1% lows in triple-digits are good results.

Far Cry 6 shows a wider spread in favour of the Intel chips and higher-end AMD parts. The Ryzen 5 7600X is a little slower than the 12600K and a lot quicker than the Ryzen 7 5800X, but compared to the Core i5-13600K, Intel has a very healthy lead.

Despite not working properly on our AM4 test system, we still include some data for Hitman 3. The lack of AM4 test data forces the Ryzen 5 7600X to the bottom of our performance chart. But the reality is that a 166 FPS average figure will be absolutely fine for the vast majority of gamers, even if the 13600K from Leo’s review is considerably faster.
