anyone upgraded 5800x3d to the 9800x3d?

ImMrChris · 10 Jan 2025 at 16:48

it's on a racing rig that uses triples with 1440p panels or Varjo Aero VR just wondered if i'd notice any difference?

9800x3d is on average 42% faster than the 5800x3d mite be worth trawling threw some reviews to see if you can get any benchmarks on specific games.

@ImMrChris

If you do make the jump you want ddr5 6000mhz C30 memory which is optimal for AM5

I'm considering this switch as I aim to get a 5080 at the end of the month, mainly because my 5800X3D/6800XT build would then become a second system for my wife and kids, so I'd be interested to see what sort of performance increase I'd see at 3440x1440.

I just did this a couple weeks ago. I have only been running AMS2 on a Reverb (G1), and haven't noticed a difference.

My 5800X3D was also solid with the Reverb at 90fps though, so I didn't expect a noticable difference in the sim. Desktop is a bit snappier, but that could also be the fresh Windows 10 install I did when I upgraded.

Check out Dan Suzuki on Youtube. From memory he's benchmarked all the X3D chips: https://www.youtube.com/@DanSuzuki/videos

Depends what GPU you have.

with you having so many screens and VR the 7800x3d/9800x3d would be be very good CPU's,

obviously this is a massive factor

ImMrChris · 13 Jan 2025 at 17:29

ATM it's a 4090 but depending on benchmarks probably a 5090

In that case you would 100% benefit from a 9800X3D. It would be a better buy than a 5090.

I am thinking the same 5800x3d for about 3 years now and fancy the jump to AM5

in your use case you need to look into the sim game and see if it benefits from 3D cache. but i would think if your going to grab a 5090 a new CPU would be needed no mater the use case

i just dont want to spend £3k+ on both :cry:

your 5800x3d will 100% be a bottle neck for a 4080.. so it will 100% be a bigger bottle neck for a 5090

in this case i would do the CPU, its not like on the 1st of feb your GPU will become a total piece of poo just because the new cards come out.
but i will still like into the support of 3D cache on the game, if its not supported you could crab a 9700x.

5800x3d/4090 here, I decided to buy 9800x3d which is coming tmr I will see and tell you whether its worth

ImMrChris · 17 Jan 2025 at 15:50

I just pulled the trigger my upgrade itch was driving me mad :cry:

i'm building a totally new system so if it's no faster for me i'll sell it hopefully

What's that 42% from

TPU has a best case scenario of being an average of 26% faster at 720p Ultra and the gap shrinks to almost nothing up to 4K.

I think you should at least have way better minimums , the 5800x3d is 7600x levels if performance along with ddr5 should get more things .

What did you order?

That site rips off real reviewers and posts as their own. They took those numbers from the Techspot/HUB review: https://www.techspot.com/review/2915-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/

Unless Techspot/HUB has a partner in pakistan who rebadges their work without credit for some reason.

The numbers are real, the benchmarks are different to TPU even when the games are the same because they use different areas so it's differently real.
