Gaming Performance: 1440p - The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review: AMD's Fastest Gaming Processor

Gaming Performance: 1440p

In our Ryzen 7000 series review, we saw users commenting about testing games for CPU reviews at 1440p, so we have duly obliged here. Those interested in 1440p performance with minimal image quality – particularly the esports crowd – will be glad to know that we will be testing at this resolution going forward into 2023 and beyond.

We are using DDR5 memory on the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the other Ryzen 7000 series we've tested. This also includes Intel's 13th and 12th Gen processors. We tested the aforementioned platforms with the following settings:

  • DDR5-5600B CL46 - Intel 13th Gen
  • DDR5-5200 CL44 - Ryzen 7000
  • DDR5-4800 (B) CL40 - Intel 12th Gen

All other CPUs such as Ryzen 5000 and 3000 were tested at the relevant JEDEC settings as per the processor's individual memory support with DDR4.

At 1440p, things become more GPU limited than CPU limited. In titles that can benefit from the large pool of L3 cache, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D does very well. The biggest win for the 7950X3D at 1440p is in Red Dead Redemption 2, where it is clear of the rest of the field convincingly in average frame rates, but it's not as good as others in the 5% lows.

Overall, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D does well at 1440p, where the 3D V-Cache can be leveraged.
