MSI has just unveiled its latest gaming-focused innovation, the ‘X3D Gaming Mode’, designed to unleash the full potential of AMD’s Ryzen X3D processors, specifically targeting the new Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This groundbreaking BIOS feature allows users to disable the secondary CCD (Core Complex Die) or SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading), resulting in a noticeable boost in gaming performance.
The introduction of this feature comes at a perfect time, as AMD’s newest Ryzen 7 9800X3D is making waves in the gaming world. With its groundbreaking 3D V-Cache technology, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is already known for its exceptional gaming prowess. However, MSI’s X3D Gaming Mode takes things to the next level, further enhancing the chip’s performance potential.
Testing by Wccftech using a pre-release version of X3D Gaming Mode on the Ryzen 7 9800X3D revealed impressive results. When paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card and running Far Cry 6 at 1080p resolution with Ultra settings, they saw a remarkable 20% increase in average FPS, jumping from 219FPS to 263FPS. While the performance gains vary from game to game, the X3D Gaming Mode consistently delivered a noticeable improvement. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, for example, they observed a 10% FPS increase.
The X3D Gaming Mode is currently available on MSI’s latest X870E and X870 motherboards, including the high-end MEG X870E GODLIKE, the MPG X870E Carbon Wi-Fi, and the popular MAG X870 Tomahawk Wi-Fi. This innovative feature is set to revolutionize the gaming experience for users of AMD’s Ryzen X3D processors, pushing the boundaries of performance and offering gamers a significant edge in their favorite titles.
