Assassin’s Creed Valhalla puts the Ryzen 7 5800X3D to the top of our performance chart, albeit by a practically-equal frame rate to the Core i9-12900K. This one is realistically a tie.

Borderlands 3 is a clear victory for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. This time, the eight-core chip and its 96MB of L3 cache put in a convincing performance increase versus the next best chip in our chart – the Core i9-12900K.

And we get another 3D V-Cache victory in Far Cry 6, albeit by a practically equivalent score to the Core i9-12900K. AMD’s newfound performance improvement versus the standard Zen 3 chips is significant in this game.
