Power plan: Balanced

Average of 3 runs:

AVG FPS: 273.78
Min FPS: 157.99
Max FPS: 380.07
Number of Frames: 17,593

Vcache tray setup:

vcache tray on prefer frequency
Cyberpunk.exe on prefer cache

Average of 3 runs:

AVG FPS: 244.98
Min FPS: 131.10
Max FPS: 310.91
Number of Frames: 15,742

Is this normal behavior? Am I using the vcache tray setup wrong? Why is it performing worse when it should be at least equal?

Dunno, haven't played cyberpunk ever. Maybe its a freq prefered game. You need to tune for your games constantly for best configurations.

I believe Cyberpunk runs on cache ccd and uses frequency one when needed (uses more than 8 cores)

On games that you've tried how is the frame rate vs normal game bar setup?

I have exchanged my 7950x3d for 7950x.
Usually play pubg on 4K, there is even no differences (within delta 5fps) between freq/cache and 7950x.
BTW, later when I was on 7950x3d, I enabled "L3 CACHE as NUMA" in bios AMD CBS section, tiny freezes in genshin were fixed, although enabling this option will make driver fail to sched ccd anymore. AMD's scheduling could make things worse.
