Ryzen 9 9900X

Measured performance for Ryzen 9 9900X across 4 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. CPU score (the processor's own performance): 11,352 on average over the best run per rig, best run 14,249 — #12 of 69 measured processors. The best rig we measured it in scored 15,624 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just Ryzen 9 9900X). Most often paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080.

What the numbers mean

The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The CPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
