guild wars 2 9800x3d

It looks like you're asking about Guild Wars 2 performance on the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D (assuming this is a hypothetical or future CPU, as the latest X3D chip as of 2024 is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Ryzen 9 7950X3D). Guild Wars 2 Performance on Ryzen X3D CPUs Guild Wars 2 is heavily CPU-bound, especially in large-scale events (World vs. World, Meta Events, etc.) due to its aging engine and reliance on single-threaded performance. X3D CPUs (with 3D V-Cache) are among the best choices for GW2 because: Large L3 Cache Benefits GW2 benefits significantly from extra cache, reducing stutters and improving minimum FPS. Strong Single-Core Performance Critical for MMOs and older engines. Efficiency X3D chips run cooler and more efficiently than high-TDP alternatives. Expected Performance (Based on Existing X3D Chips) Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8C/16T, 96MB L3 Cache) Best for GW2 (better than 7950X3D due to no dual-CCD quirks). Ryzen 9 7950X3D (16C/32T, 128MB L3 Cache) Slightly worse in GW2 unless manually tuned (some cores lack 3D V-Cache). Hypothetical 9800X3D If it follows the trend, it would likely be even better, especially if it has higher clocks + more cache. Optimizing GW2 for X3D CPUs Use DirectX 11 (in-game setting). Disable CPU-heavy settings (Reflections, Character Model Limit/Quality). Set CPU affinity (for 7950X3D, ensure GW2 runs on the V-Cache CCD). Consider overclocking RAM (DDR5-6000+) for extra performance. Conclusion If the Ryzen 9 9800X3D becomes a reality, it will likely be one of the best CPUs for GW2, especially if it improves upon the 7800X3Ds design. For now, the 7800X3D is the king of GW2 performance. Would you like recommendations for GPUs to pair with it? (GW2 is not very GPU-heavy, so even an RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT would be overkill unless playing at 4K.)
