. Clocked at 2 610 MHz, it can count on 4 GB of VRAM (GDDR6).
More powerful than the NVIDIA GTX 1650 and the Radeon RX 570, it will be able to reach the 60 FPS cap on Call of Duty: Vanguard

This chip will be compatible with both AMD 400 motherboards and AMD 500 cards and promises to be the fastest on the market. gaming. AMD doesn’t hesitate to compare this Ryzen 7 5800X3D to Intel’s new Core i9-12900K. As it stands, the two chips seem fairly equivalent in game, even if AMD’s processor is able to take a small lead over some AAAs.
