These benchmarks were never intended for the public, they were done in a private convo between friends in the span of many months. That's why the missing specs & extra info.
I posted them due to the raging reaction of AMD fanbois to my previous post.

Since so many AMD fanbois liked my last post so much, I decide to show them even more fun times.

BF6, Borderlands 4, Stalker 2, SotTR, SW Jedi Survivor, SH2, The Witcher 3.
Look at the 0.1% and 1% Lows.
Specs:
i9 is on custom water loop, cores at 61/47/52, DDR5 8200C34, Win10 slimmed down.
X3D also on custom loop because it was holding the cores on some games at 5.7, DDR5 8000C34/2000 with 104.5 eclk, Win11 25H2 slimmed down.
Tests were done in gameplay in CPU bound scenes.
There are plenty of OC-ers showing benchmarks on the OC forum & YT that validate these. Anyone interested should do their own due diligence.
The reaction of AMD fanbois to this post 👇 is the reason for me posting the benchmarks.

How good is a 9800X3D at shader precompilation?
As good as half a 14900K!
My undervolted (not OC-ed) 14900K with only e-cores enabled took roughly the same time as a full 9800X3D chip did.
This is a PS5 emulator running shader precompilation for Demon's Souls remake on PC.

I'm pretty sure a golden bin OC-ed 14900K running only e-cores smokes a 9800X3D in shader precompilation.
Right @facegamefps ?
Not to mention a 270K, that's even better at this.
9800X3D is an overpriced overhyped 8 core CPU.
The only worthy X3D CPU this gen is 9950X3D.
If there ever was doubt about what I said about CFX being better than MSI Af, here is the dev of MSI Af after trying mental gymnastics to make excuses finally admitting MSI Af needs fixing, but of course he call me stupid... 😑

Everyone using MSI Af is being mislead by that program including Hardware Accent that made that video.
MSI Af is just not reporting correctly & accurately.
I've been saying this for years on my X with tests proving how bad it is vs CapFrameX.
Here, MSI Af at top, CFX below it.
9950X3D2 max OC VS 14900KF max OC
Dynasty Warriors Origins (Katana Engine)
by @facegamefps
Both systems run great except in once scene (repeatable) where one dips more than the other.
14900KF
Stuttering = 0.3%
0.1% Low = 114
9950X3D2
Stuttering = 0.8%
0.1% Low = 70
Smoother gameplay > higher avg fps.
This is the actual perf when both are max OC-ed, not like MSM shills show it.
AMD's X3D2 from 2026 is more or less equal to Intel i9 from 2023. 🤷♂️
And here is a quote from another OC-er that perfectly describes the situation. 👇

Rare wccftech good article.
Nvidia disabling the Hotspot sensor showing in telemetry software for RTX 50 GPUs is a definite L for them, they should enable it ASAP.
I don't expect them to do it though, they don't care.

What? This "5090 SE" name is silly!
They should call this 5080 Ti or 5080 Super, but I guess having "5090" in its name gives nvidia an excuse to price it higher than having a "5080" in its name. 😑

This braindead neophyte has the audacity to call me a clown, when he's the one masquerading as a rocket scientist (lol?) turned tech benchmarker that thinks he knows better than experienced OC-ers. 🤦♂️
Imagine being this retarded and not being able to understand what I said here.
He claimed 2DIMM mobos offer no advantage over 4DIMM ones for DRAM OC-ing. That the x870e Hero is as good as x870e Apex.
That's the hill he's willing to die on despite the entire OC community knowing that's incorrect and multiple people telling him this.

This looks great, can't wait for this update!

"Daniel Owen & Club386 got their RTX 5090 connectors melted."
In 2026 & we're still debating if the 12V-2x6 connector has a flawed design? Really?
Never happened before with the 8pin ones & PSU AIBs are coming up with crazy mitigations for this, but we're still not sure? 🤦♂️
Since the launch of this connector there have been many reports of this issue, and like I said above you never heard of the 8pin one melting before.
And it's not just nvidia GPUs, AMD GPUs that are using this same connector suffer from this issue too.
