Don’t use Ryzen Master Eco Mode with Ryzen 9 7900X 7950X CPUs until you read this

Far Cry 6

All recent Far Cry games are known to be very CPU heavy, requiring a lot of single-threaded CPU performance and a strong memory/cache structure to achieve ultra-high performance levels. Since Eco mode mostly impacts multi-threaded performance, Far Cry 6 sees no major framerate drops when AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X is set to Eco mode, be it in its 105W or 65W forms.

(This game was tested at 1080p with a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition)
