The Ryzen 5600, 5700x, 5900x, 5950x and 5800x3D processors were tested. Games were launched in stock and overclocked, with full ultra settings, RT. The projects included A Total War Saga Troy, CS 2, Hunt Showdown, Cyberpunk 2077, STALKER 2, Mount and Blade II, Dragons Dogma II, The Last of Us, Spider Man 2, Hogwarts Legacy, The Witcher 3.

In Troy, the stock 5800x3D is not that much inferior to the 5900x and 5950x. At the same time, with overclocking, the FPS values ​​of the 5800x3D and 5700x are equalized. The Ryzen 5600 shows itself as expectedly poorly.

You can see all the test results below by yourself, looking at the graphs (in overclocking, the author simply did not change the signatures: they are still in the same order 5600, 5700x, 5900x, 5950x, 5800x3D).

Conclusions

If you upgrade from a 6-core processor to an 8-core one, the performance gain in overclocked and stock mode will be 6%. The situation is the same when upgrading from an 8- to a 12- or 16-core processor: a 6% improvement. However, in this case, you will spend a lot of money on a motherboard and liquid cooling compared to an 8-core processor. Therefore, if you do not use a PC for work and only play on it, then there is definitely no point in getting a 16-core processor.

The obvious winner in testing was the 5800x3D: it was 30% faster in stock and 15% faster when overclocked. But if you are thinking about buying it on the secondary market, it is better not to. A safer option in this case would be to buy a new 5700x3D.Source: sirVikman
