AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Review

Civilization VI – Turn Time

You want your turns to be as swift as possible in Civilization. After all, how else will you out-tech the competition before dawn? With the Ryzen 7 5800X3D stopping any overclocking fun and games, and the game itself not being too demanding, it’s no shock that the Ryzen doesn’t perform well here. Civ is a game happiest on a couple of blisteringly fast cores, rather than plenty of not-too-quick ones.

20/04/22 – With the processor now boosting properly the reduction in turn time is obvious. Hooray.
