Is a quad core 3.2 ghz  ryzen 5 1400 good for gaming at 1080p high settings? I will be playing forza horizon 4, fortnite and black ops 4?

Those games will run fine (60fps) on your CPU at 1080p presuming you have a decent GPU.

 

That said, I wouldn't go out and buy a 4 core CPU if I didn't already have it.

 

Get a Ryzen 5 1600 cheap and it will go a lot farther.

The graphics card is going to have the largest effect on gaming performance, unless you had a really weak processor.  A quad core CPU is just fine, and I doubt many games can really take advantage of anything more.  Maybe just the newest AA titles.

Not sure what the deal is with newer games, but lots of them seem to choke on 4/4 chips. 

 

Example is AC:OD and Division 2.

 

Maybe it's console parallelization-based programming finally turning around, maybe it's bad coding in general, or maybe it's DRM.

 

Dunno but those games I see a lot of people complaining about 100% CPU usage on quad cores (not as had on SMT versions, but still bad) with lower GPU utilization.
