AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU Review

A Plague Tale

Follow the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo, in a heartrending journey through the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo will come to know and trust each other. As they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds, they will fight to find purpose in this brutal, unforgiving world.

Available now on Steam.

So starting our gaming benchmarks off with A Plague Tale Requiem on the ultra preset, and sadly, we only see a 1% increase in performance over the 7700X, though looking at the rest of the CPUs tested, it does seem that we’re somewhat limited, especially on the AMD platform, where even the 7800X3D comes in matching the performance of the new Zen 5 CPU.
