Quartet Infernale from Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X – Which Ryzen type are you and what should you really afford as a gamer?

1 - Intro, Details and Test Setup 2 - As expected: Horizon New Dawn 3 - Even better: Total War: Three Kingdoms 4 - Best Case: World War Z 5 - Lara meets Lisa: Shadow of the Tomb Raider 6 - Intel strikes back: Far Cry New Dawn 7 - Conclusion for Gaming Performance

In the former Intel flagship game of the 9. With the new Ryzens, AMD is again ahead of Intel in the second generation, whereby the power consumption in relation to the performance is roughly balanced. The Ryzen 3000 again plays no role here and the growth of the new generation is almost frightening in direct AMD comparison and the Ryzen 7 5800X again doesn’t cut a bad figure here. The battle benchmark was tested with a lot of AI hype.

With Full-HD the field moves closer together. The two Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X offer the best reproducible image progression, but also swallow considerably more. In return you get the lowest variances in the test field and Intel (once again) lines up a bit further back.

The GPU limit already hits a bit hard, the Ryzen 9 5900X and the 5950X both lose an above average amount of performance with slower memory, even if you move from 2 FPS or less. But it was exactly reproducible. And in the sprint to the power socket, the Ryzen 9 5950X is once again first, while the Ryzen 5 5600X is hardly slower, but much more abstinent.

Now there is pure equality, as the percentiles are also finely aligned. The graphics card sweats and snorts and you can also see that the tolerance range is really nice and small. What is not so small is the thirst of the two big Ryzen 9’s, which still consume 13 to 20 watts more than the older Ryzen 9 3900X, while the i9-10900K looks like it just came out of the Betty Ford clinic.
