AMD 7900X Retested – PBO, SMT & Overclocked

Remnant II

Remnant II is the sequel to the best-selling game Remnant: From the Ashes that pits survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds. Play solo or co-op with two other friends to explore the depths of the unknown to stop an evil from destroying reality itself. To succeed, players will need to rely on their own skills and those of their team to overcome the toughest challenges and to stave off humanity’s extinction.

Available now on Steam.

Remnant II is another game that is very CPU intensive, and due to that, we do start to see some sizable uplifts in performance. The 9700X came in originally at 151 FPS at stock defaults while disabling SMT saw that increase by 11%, now at 168, though that’s where our performance gains end as combining it with PBO on max limits saw the result come in identically in both the averages and the 1% lows.
