AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D vs AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Processor comparison for gaming — benchmark scores, estimated framerates and which one suits your build.
The short answer
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the faster of the two for gaming, by roughly 28% over the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X.
Gap measured from estimated framerates across 5 games, not from benchmark scores — scores rank parts reliably but compress the distance between two fast ones.
Note on 3D V-Cache: the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D carries AMD's stacked cache, which no PassMark figure can see — you can see it in the L3 cache row below. Our gaming score applies a measured premium for it, so the ranking here deliberately differs from a raw multi-core comparison.

The gaming score damps high-core-count parts, which win productivity benchmarks without delivering proportional framerate, and credits 3D V-Cache where it is measurably earned.
Estimated FPS at 1080p
Both measured against the same reference graphics card — a GeForce RTX 4090 — so the processor is the variable being tested. Ranges, not exact figures.
| Game | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X |
|---|---|---|
| Fortnite | 361–601 CPU | 284–473 CPU |
| CS:GO | 461–769 CPU | 360–601 CPU |
| GTA V | 157–262 CPU | 123–205 CPU |
| Apex Legends | 170–283 CPU | 132–220 CPU |
| PUBG | 184–307 CPU | 144–240 CPU |
Which suits your build?
These figures hold a reference graphics card constant. Your own build decides the answer: a faster processor buys nothing if the other component is already the limit. Run both against your actual hardware:
