The AMD Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600 Review: Zen 4 Efficiency at 65 Watts

Gaming Performance: 1080p

Moving along, here's a look at a more balanced gaming scenario, running games at 1080p with maximum image quality.

We are using DDR5 memory on the Ryzen 7000 series 65 W SKUs, as well as the other Ryzen 7000 processors tested, at 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.

Civilization VI

World of Tanks

Borderlands 3

Grand Theft Auto V

We have highlighted a few odd results in our GTA V 1080p testing, including the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 5 7600X, and the Core i5-12600K. We are planning to re-test these processors within the next couple of days, and we will add these results when we have retested them.

Red Dead Redemption 2

We have highlighted some odd results in our RDR2 1080p testing, including the Ryzen 9 7950X and the Ryzen 5 7600X. We are planning to re-test these processors within the next couple of days, and we will add these results when we have retested them.

F1 2022

Hitman 3

Total War: Warhammer 3

Cyberpunk 2077

Moving onto our testing at 1080p, and in most of the games tested, we see the Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600 in a better light. It's quite impressive that all three chips retain a large amount of their performance despite being limited with a 65 W TDP (90 W under load), which shows they have more than enough processing power for most titles on the market.

The only negative we saw came in Cyberpunk 2077, where all three displayed solid performance levels about average frame rates but fell behind a little in 5% low (95th percentile) frames.
