About this tag
The pc gaming benchmarks tag collects WindowsForum.com coverage of hardware performance testing, where measured frame rates and scaling results are used to judge real-world value. A recent example examines AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D in Elden Ring, showing that faster DDR5 memory delivered only about a 1% average frame-rate difference across three resolutions once the game's 60 FPS cap was removed with a mod. The discussion highlights how lowest frame-rate results can matter more than average gains, and why a small benchmark lead does not always justify a memory upgrade. Expect practical, test-driven analysis for PC builders and enthusiasts.

    Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy RTX 5070 4K Test: Preset Gains and Frame Generation Questions

    Gizbot's new PC performance review of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has an odd headline result. On an RTX 5070 at 4K, dropping from Ultra to Medium barely moved the frame rate. Frame Generation, meanwhile, behaved in ways the reviewer found confusing. This piece covers what the review...

    PS5 Pro CPU Equivalent Explained: Why Ryzen 7 3700X Is Closer Than Ryzen 5 5600X

    There is no exact retail AMD CPU equivalent to the PlayStation 5 Pro’s processor. The Ryzen 5 5600X is sometimes presented as a gaming-performance counterpart, but it is not a hardware match. Sony’s PS5 Pro manual identifies a custom eight-core, 16-thread Zen 2 CPU, whereas AMD specifies six...

    4GB GPUs in 2026: GTX 1650 Super and RX 5500 XT AAA Gaming Limits

    A 4GB graphics card in 2026 gets about as much respect as a floppy drive. Still, a hands-on test from MakeUseOf's Suman Biswas found that two old budget cards could run a surprising share of this year's and last year's big releases. The results come with a lot of fine print, and the fine print...

    Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Faster DDR5 Barely Lifts Uncapped Elden Ring

    AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D shows little average-frame-rate benefit from faster DDR5 in TechPowerUp’s uncapped Elden Ring memory-scaling tests, with roughly 1% separating the tested configurations at each of three resolutions—a result that gives owners little reason to replace their RAM for this game...
