Onimusha: Way of the Sword CPU Benchmark: 31 CPUs Compared

Onimusha: Way of the Sword CPU Benchmark:

Tom’s Hardware used an RTX 5090 Founders Edition to run 31 CPUs through Capcom’s free Onimusha: Way of the Sword benchmark. Two outcomes stood out. The Core i9-14900K, Intel’s fastest chip in this game, is 11.3% behind the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Additionally, Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs, which were introduced two generations earlier, outperform Intel’s newest component, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus.

The final discovery—that this game little cares about your CPU—is the one that truly modifies build recommendations. When combined with an RTX 5090, a 2018 Ryzen 7 2700X still achieved nearly 90 frames per second at 1080p Ultra without ray tracing. Because RE Engine is GPU-bound by design, the CPU scaling information provided here mostly indicates where your money is going.

If you’re planning a build around this title or the broader RE Engine catalog that now includes Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, the tier breakdown below is more useful than any single chart position. Here’s what the Onimusha CPU benchmark data actually means at each price point.
