Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the clear performance champion here, delivering a CPU score 54.6% higher than the Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics. This significant lead is primarily driven by its superior single-thread performance, reaching 0.86 Gop/s compared to the 5600G's 0.53 Gop/s, which is crucial for maximizing in-game frame rates. Further boosting its gaming prowess, the 9800X3D features a massive 96 MB L3 cache, a higher 5427 MHz peak clock, and nearly double the multi-threaded integer performance at 9.3 Gop/s, culminating in 99.9 FPS in our Supernova DX11 test versus 74.8 FPS for the Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics. While the Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics only has one verified run, its overall lower specifications across the board make the Ryzen 7 9800X3D the undeniable choice for top-tier gaming performance.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
