AMD says gamers can achieve 1000 FPS in popular eSports games if they pair a high-end GPU with Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs.
AMD Says 1000 FPS is Possible With Ryzen 9800X3D, 99503D, and Ryzen 9950X3D if Users Adopt Their Recommended Settings
We have seen eSports titles like CS2 and Valorant reaching nearly 600-700 FPS, but achieving 1000 FPS isn’t easy. It’s definitely possible, but an incredibly strong CPU is a necessity. Roughly two years ago, Der8auer showed how a Liquid Nitrogen-cooled Core i9 14900K can reach 1000 FPS in CS2 when paired with an RTX 4090. So, basically, you need a monster configuration, and with processors such as Ryzen 9000X3D, it’s even easier to reach higher FPS than ever before.
Still, most reviews end up doing 600-700 FPS with Ryzen 9800X3D and 9950X3D when paired with RTX 5090 or 5080, but AMD says that with their recommended tweaks, users can achieve 1000 FPS in not just one, but six different eSports titles. In a marketing infographic, AMD shares how it was able to achieve 1000 FPS in several esports games, including CS2, Valorant, League of Legends, PUBG, and Naraka: Bladepoint.
AMD says not one but three of its Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs can achieve the 1000 FPS mark in these games, including Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and the mobile Ryzen 9 9955HX3D. With Windows 11 OS (version 24H2), and VBS (Virtualization-based security) and AMD SAM (Smart Access Memory) disabled, all six games were able to reach 1000 FPS using GPUs like GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090D. The memory was clocked at 6000 MT/s at CL30 and the resolution set to 1080p.
With Radeon RX 9070 XT, only two games achieved 1000 FPS, which is still impressive, but this is something that needs to be independently tested, as it isn’t as easy as it looks on paper. Moreover, reaching 1000 FPS isn’t entirely useful at all since we don’t have 1000 Hz gaming monitors yet. The fastest we have heard about is from HKC, which has prepared the world’s first 750Hz gaming monitor.
AMD didn’t show the results with the mobile Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, which should technically do a similar job, but it’s going to be almost useless to play at 1000 FPS on a laptop, since we have even fewer options that offer very high refresh rate displays.
