In Cyberpunk 2077, we once again see an improvement going to a 5900X over the 3900X. Interestingly, Intel continues to do worse than their AMD counterparts in this game. That said, overclocking makes the results a little less consistent as the average and minimums are slightly below that of the stock CPU. Overclocking gets almost no gain over the stock 5900X, but there is one in maximum FPS. In this test, we see lower performance from the 3900X compared to the 5900X which essentially dominates this test. As a result, these results are in no way comparable to earlier results we’ve done using older versions of the game. Note: Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone significant performance changes over many patches. The maximum FPS goes to the overclocked 5900X, but it’s not anywhere near a sustained frame rate. Interestingly, the 5900X at stock speeds shows a substantial gain over the 3900X but the average is almost identical. The Core i9 11900K is still slightly faster here, but the 5900X remains competitive with it.Īt 4K, none of the systems are able to deliver a 60FPS minimum. Here, the 5900X shows definite improvement over the older 3900X. However, the 3900X provides slightly better performance here. This isn’t shocking as you are typically GPU limited at 4K. However, the maximum is the lowest in the roundup.Īt 4K, the results are all extremely close. It offers the highest minimum and average frame rates. While it lacks the absurdly high maximum FPS of the 5900X, it does have the most consistent frame rates. Interestingly, the Intel Core i9 11900K is the standout here. The 5900X achieves lower minimums but has better averages and maximum frame rates than the 3900X. Here, we see much of the same story we saw with Ghost Recon. However, the average and maximum FPS of the 3900X falls well short of the 5900X at stock or overclocked speeds. Strangely, the 5900X in PB2 falters slightly in terms of the minimum frame rates. Again, this is maxed frame rates and at these settings, you wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference between these systems.Īgain, at 4K I omitted the 11900K results due to the change in GPUs. This was a big improvement over the 5900X at stock speeds and right in the middle was the Core i9 11900K. The Ryzen 9 5900X actually achieved the highest score when overclocked. Interestingly, the only place we saw an appreciable difference in performance was in terms of maximum frame rates. However, the Core i9 11900K manages to pull the same results as the AMD CPUs. Ghost Recon is a bit odd in that it does seem to reach a little deeper into multi-threading than most games do.

In this test, we get similar performance across all of the test platforms. There is a small increase in performance going from the 3900X to the 5900X.

We see almost no change between an overclocked 5900X and a stock one. This is unsurprising as your GPU has a bigger impact on these scores than your CPU typically does. In this test, we see relatively close results between all of the test systems. However, take the 11900K results with a small grain of salt.
#Watch dogs legions 1080p#
As a result, we left the 1080p results in as we are far more CPU-bound here. However, there are cases where the RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 3090 didn’t seem to score much different at 1920×1080, low-quality settings. Those results were omitted as the RTX 3090 would obviously win any benchmark. As a result, we are not comparing the Intel platform to the AMD platform at 4K. However, due to technical issues with the RTX 2080 Ti’s cooling system, (water-cooled) we had to replace the card without a lot of time for retesting. In this section, we will examine gaming performance on the various CPUs.
