Counter-Strike 2 passa dos 1000 FPS com CPU AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Tony Yu, general manager of ASUS China, shared some of his tests with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, achieving an impressive overclock of up to 6.9 GHz. The result was possible with LN2 cooling, reaching 1262.9 FPS in Counter-Strike 2.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D offers tremendous gaming potential thanks to its 2nd Gen 3D V-Cache technology. The chip can be overclocked like any standard Ryzen 9000 CPU, allowing extreme overclockers and enthusiasts to get a lot of performance.

Gaming Performance

In Counter-Strike 2, the CPU achieved an average of 1262.9 FPS at maximum 1080p settings, similar to the performance of the Intel Core i9-14900K. The 14900K reached over 1300 FPS, but was running at a much higher frequency of 8 GHz, consuming more power.

Running Valorant, the CPU reached more than 2000 FPS in the character selection menu and more than 1500 FPS, with an average of close to 1100 FPS during the match at maximum settings of 1080p. Power consumption, even when overclocked to 6.9 GHz, was around 100W, highlighting the efficiency of Zen 5 and the 2nd Generation 3D V-Cache.

Settings used

For overclocking purposes, the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard was used, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D running at 6.7–6.9 GHz. In Cinebench R23, the CPU achieved 30,513 CB points, an increase of 36% relative to the PBO scores from our analysis.

The test system was running an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU with 32GB of DDR5-6000 (CL30) memory. In these overclocked configurations, the chip consumes 200W of power at maximum load, above its 120W TDP, but in games, the story is different.

Launch and availability

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D launches today for $479, and based on early reports, there will be plenty of stock for gamers, as indicated by Germany’s largest retailer, Mindfactory.
