Ryzen 9 3950X vs. Ryzen 9 5950X - CPU Matters
All of the primary testing is done on our reliable Ryzen 9 3950X machine. It's no secret that Ryzen 9 5950X is faster at lower resolutions thanks to the Zen 3 architecture and improved IPC.
It is reasonable to assume that some will be aspiring to own a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU, representing the best AMD has to offer for gaming PCs in 2020.
We've thus benchmarked a number of titles at FHD, at exactly the same settings on the RX 6900 XT GPU, and plotted the R9 5950X's framerate advantage.
Civ VI is a massive gainer, as is SOTTR and Far Cry New Dawn. You need said chip to get the most out of this GPU. Few gamers are going to say no to an extra 46fps.
