F1 2020 shows very little difference between all of the CPU setups, though the 5800X3D did deliver consistently higher 1% low FPS values.

There’s practically no difference between any of these processors in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1440p, as is the level of load placed on the GPU.

Watch Dogs Legion at 1440p clearly had an axe to grind with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, thus resulting in AMD’s latest offering sitting at the chart bottom (which is only two FPS from the chart top).

As expected, the performance differences between CPUs in 1440p gaming are minor. Significantly higher GPU horsepower will be required to highlight the similar performance changes that we see at 1080p. What this highlights, though, is that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is able to maintain its highly competitive position versus Intel’s Alder Lake competitors even when the gaming resolution is cranked up.
