AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT CPU Review – 4.6GHz OC!

Red Dead Redemption 2

We run the game with image settings manually set to High and the DirectX 12 mode enabled.

Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1080P shows the stock clocked Ryzen 5 3600XT to be just as fast as other Zen 2 chips when accounting for margins of error. Overclocking technically delivers a gain in average and 1% low FPS numbers, but the difference is realistically minimal.

Intel’s stock clocked Core i5-10600K is better able to leverage the GPU horsepower and delivers numbers closer to its Comet Lake siblings at around 10-15 FPS higher than the 3600XT. If you are a high refresh rate 1080P gamer, that frame rate improvement from the 10600K versus the 3600XT may be important to you.

With the resolution increased to 1440P, the Ryzen 5 3600XT continues to show strong performance that is comparable to even the higher core count Zen 2 chips. Overclocking to the lofty 4.6GHz frequency also delivers a small but repeatable gain in performance.

Once again, the Core i5-10600K is faster, but this time the margin of improvement is closer to around 6 FPS and may therefore be of slightly less importance even to high refresh rate gamers.
