CPUs suited for mid-range gaming
This list includes CPUs suited for mid-range games such as Apex Legends, Overwatch, Fortnite, and Dead by Daylight at FHD / 120 FPS.
Ryzen 5 5600 is used as the minimum baseline model for mid-range gaming.
This evaluation assumes the system has a GPU, memory, and storage configuration that is sufficient for the task.
What to Check Beyond the Score
- In general, newer CPUs have more advanced designs, so even at the same score they may allow higher settings or higher FPS.
- Models such as Ryzen X3D CPUs have larger L3 cache, which can improve game performance even when the score is similar.
- Models that do not support Windows 11 should not be chosen. Unsupported models are excluded from this list.
