Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Which processor is faster for gaming? Estimated FPS in 8 CPU-heavy games at 1080p High, once with an RTX 5090 (so the processor is the limit) and once with an RTX 4060, the more typical case.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is about 8% faster in games than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D when the graphics card is not the limit. With a mid-range card like the RTX 4060 the difference practically disappears.
