It's another CryEngine game, but this time a more modern vintage having been released in 2018. This content is hosted on an external platform, which will only display it if you accept targeting cookies. The 5900X leads the 3900X and 3900XT by around 16 per cent - proving that higher clock speeds aren't really helping here, but the core layout is! - and the 5800X outdoes the 3700X and 3800XT by nearly 20 per cent. So it's not a blowout, but taking an outright win is an important symbolic gesture for a processor lineup that historically has never done so against Intel opposition.Īgain, looking back of past Ryzen processors, this is a significant evolution. The 5900X still performs excellently, at 208fps, with the Core i9 10900K trailing at 207fps. It's also the first game where Ryzen 5000's raw power allows it to run away with the show, beating out the 10900K for the first time.Īt 1080p, it's actually the Ryzen 7 5800X that turned in the better result of around 210fps, perhaps as a result of having all of its cores within the same core complex instead of split amongst two. One of the reasons we like this test so much is that it's remarkably consistent, with relatively low run-to-run variance that can make comparing otherwise very similar processors a little easier. We return yet again to Crysis 3, where the Welcome to the Jungle level remains surprisingly hard on CPU and GPU for a game from 2013.

Meanwhile, clicking the graph swaps you into percentages, making it a bit easier to judge relative performance at a glance. Remember that you can mouse over the results in the tables below (as long as you're using a desktop browser rather than a phone) to get dynamically generated performance readouts for all processors we've tested. Once again, we have opted for scenes that are repeatable run after run and aren't too difficult to reach, an important factor when you're retesting a troublesome processor for the tenth time in a day - or you're a reader wanting to perform a similar test on your own rig to see if an upgrade would be worthwhile! It's been a bit of a mixed bag for Ryzen 5000 so far, so will these games be the ones to make a stronger case? Metro Exodus and Kingdom Come Deliverance are good examples of modern games that aren't afraid to put processors through their paces, while Crysis 3 and The Witcher 3 are classic games that were surprisingly tough to run back and in the day and remain formidable even in a new decade. We continue our analysis of half of the new Ryzen 5000 processors with four more titles, none of which are canned benchmarks this time around.
