AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 5 7600X Review: Retaking The High-End
by Ryan Smith & Gavin Bonshor on September 26, 2022 9:00 AM ESTGaming Performance: 4K
All of our game testing results, including other resolutions, can be found in our benchmark database: www.anandtech.com/bench. All gaming tests were with an RTX 2080 Ti.
We are using DDR5 memory on the Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 5 7600X, as well as Intel's 12th Gen (Alder Lake) processors at the following settings:
- 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 appropriate kits of DDR4.
Civilization VI
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Far Cry 5
Grand Theft Auto V
Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)
Strange Brigade (Vulcan)
At 4K resolutions, much like our 1080p results, the Ryzen 7000 processors are very competitive, although their dominance isn't assured as it is in compute tasks such as rendering and encoding.
In World of Tanks at 4K, both Ryzen 7000 series chips perform well, while performance in the other games tested show that things look to be on an even keel; the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is still the stand-out CPU for gaming performance from AMD.

This paragraph reads like someone having a stroke while writing it..."Although this is overridable through manually overclocking with a maximum TJ Max of up to 115°C, it’s key tovitalte that users will need to use more premium and aggressive cooling types to squeeze every last drop of performance from ZAMD intended thistended when designing Zen 4, and as such, has opted not to bundls own CPU coolers with the retail packages."
and someone's spell checker is broken.

Hi, yeah something screwy happened, but it's fixed now. Apologies. I think it may be time to update to a new system, and software. This isn't the first time it's jumbled stuff up for me.Cow86 - Monday, September 26, 2022 - link
I wish I could say that all the errors in the article are fixed, but that very paragraph even still has several (big) errors in it... A missing letter is one thing, half a sentence just missing and going into the next is another.herozeros - Monday, September 26, 2022 - link
Keep the copy editor awake, or fire them. Grammar/syntax/CMS error, it doesn't matter if it gives me a headache reading this.Ryan Smith - Monday, September 26, 2022 - link
Unfortunately we're having to do this kind of live. It's been a very busy past two weeks and we haven't had as much time to prepare as we like. So most of what you're seeing is first-draft copy, which I'll get around to editing as I can.Digital publications do not employ dedicated copy editors any more. They have all been let go for cost efficiency reasons.

What? Come on now.Hifihedgehog - Monday, September 26, 2022 - link
@flypants265: It's kind of like Microsoft who got rid of their QA team and made all of their developers honorary QA tests. They can't help it that their leadership is being stupid. Don't blame Ryan or Gavin. Blame these greedy cheapskates that likewise didn't want to pay Ian Cutress enough to want to stay.Hifihedgehog - Monday, September 26, 2022 - link
