Hey everyone,

I’m trying to get a better idea of what normal benchmark scores look like for the 9800X3D, whether stock or undervolted. I’m mainly interested in CPU results — Cinebench, CPU-Z, 3DMark Time Spy CPU score, etc.

Right now, with just a -20 curve optimizer, I'm getting:

  • CPU-Z Single Core: ~785 (I’ve seen people say they get 800+ even on stock?)
  • CPU-Z Multi Core: ~8700+
  • Cinebench R23 Single Core: ~2090
  • Cinebench R23 Multi Core: ~23,500

Just curious if these seem normal or a bit low compared to what others are seeing.

Also, what are the best well-optimized games to test real in-game CPU performance — specifically looking for:

  • Smooth frametimes
  • No stutter
  • Normal 1% and 0.1% lows
  • Consistency (not games that are just poorly optimized)

Basically I just want to make sure my CPU behaves normally in-game and isn’t underperforming or choking. Would be super helpful!

Thanks! 🙏
