Shadow of the Tomb Raider plays very well on Zen 4, particularly when compared to Intel 12^th Gen and Ryzen 5000 competitors. The 13600K is only slightly quicker here, so AMD’s Ryzen 5 7600X does well.

Watch Dogs Legion is a somewhat rare victory for the Ryzen 5 7600X, with AMD’s new chip outperforming the Core i5-13600K, 12600K, and 5800X by slim margins.

Gaming Summary

When looking at a summary of 1080p gaming performance for the Ryzen 5 7600X, it looks to be perfectly strong in isolation and generally good versus the previous generation competitors that are similarly priced.

But compared to Intel’s current 13^th Gen competitor – the Core i5-13600K – the Ryzen 5 7600X is not as strong a gaming CPU, even if it is £50-60 cheaper than Intel’s option.
