The Division 2

We run the game with quality set to Ultra, VSync disabled, and DX12 mode.

The Division 2 sees Ryzen 5 5600X once again outperforming the 10600K, 3700X, and 3600XT. Intel’s Core i5 provides the toughest fight, but the Zen 3 six-core is simply faster outside of a 5GHz Intel overclock.

Cranked up to 1440p, performance is similar across the board so there are no inherent upsides or downsides to the Ryzen 5 5600X in this example.
