Borderlands 3 is solid on the Ryzen 9 7900X. AMD’s chip puts in a good score that is very close to the chart-topping pack.

Far Cry 6 is not as strong, with the 7900X dropping down to 7700X-performance levels. In this game, the Intel 13^th Gen chips are notably quicker, but it does seem that Far Cry 6 has a preference for Intel.

Hitman 3 has the 7900X averaging similar to Intel’s Core i7-13700K, but Team Blue’s processor is notably quicker on the 1% Low FPS values.

As Far Cry 6 likes Intel, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has a preference for AMD Zen. As such, the Ryzen 9 7900X is up with the chart-topping pack of AMD’s own 7950X, the 5800X3D, and Intel’s Core i9-13900K and i7-13700K.

Gaming Summary

Gaming performance for the Ryzen 9 7900X varies from title-to-title, as expected. Overall, the chip is clearly no slouch when it comes to FPS and its competitiveness versus Intel is solid.
