GIGABYTE has introduced X3D Turbo Mode, a feature for X870E, X870, and 600 series motherboards built to optimize gaming with AMD Ryzen 7000 X3D and Ryzen 9000 series processors. This mode improves gaming by managing core distribution, tuning bandwidth, and balancing hardware power, leading to higher frame rates and reduced latency.
Testing shows that X3D Turbo Mode delivers performance boosts of up to 18% for Ryzen 9000 series processors and 5% for Ryzen 9800 X3D processors. Notably, Ryzen 9000 non-X3D processors reach performance levels similar to their X3D counterparts when using this feature.
The X3D Turbo Mode integrates with AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a in the latest BETA BIOS release and works with AORUS AI SNATCH, allowing users to unlock enhanced CPU performance with a simple BIOS update. This feature is now available through GIGABYTE’s official website.
X3D Turbo Mode For Ryzen 7000 And 9000 Series Explained
GIGABYTE’s X3D Turbo Mode is built to elevate gaming on Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series processors by managing three core areas: core distribution, bandwidth, and power balance. For the Ryzen 9000 series, powered by AMD’s Zen 5 architecture, this mode takes advantage of a 16% improvement in instructions per cycle (IPC), which boosts both single and multi-threaded performance for smoother gameplay. Models with higher core counts, like the Ryzen 9 9900X (12 cores) and 9950X (16 cores), benefit from X3D Turbo Mode’s balanced power across cores, preventing overheating and maintaining stable performance over long gaming sessions.
Additionally, the 7000 and 9000 series’ support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 is fully optimized under X3D Turbo Mode, increasing data transfer rates and ensuring low latency. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X has an 80MB cache, and X3D Turbo Mode works with this larger cache to reduce response times and enhance data access.
X3D Turbo Mode is compatible with AMD’s AGESA 1.2.0.2a, which means that users only need to install a BIOS update to activate it. This feature allows Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series processors to hit higher frame rates and maintain efficiency, providing noticeable performance boosts across supported GIGABYTE motherboards.
