Gaming Performance (reported FPS)

Average and 1% low frame rates by game, resolution, and quality preset. Bars are scaled against the fastest result on this page.

Gaming frame rates for the Intel Core i9-13900K by game, resolution, and quality preset. Rows from aggregator sites are estimates, not measured runs, dated by when SpecPicks fetched them. “1% low” is the frame-time floor that determines perceived smoothness. A CPU’s frame rate depends on the graphics card it was tested with, named in the Test GPU column when the source records it. Each row links to its original review or benchmark database.
