Yes I looked at the 7600 and saw it was good enough for gaming right now and was relatively cheap. I'll upgrade in the future when there are plenty of choices from much faster CPU's (X3D etc) but at greatly reduced prices.

Glad you saw the light
Sorry for resurrecting this older post but I have just ordered a 5700x3D for my B450 Tomahawk. Obviously I understand the 5700x3D is not as quick as the 5800x3D but it's in the same ballpark. It's to replace my Ryzen 2700 which I have had paired with a EVGA 1080Ti SC2 for the past 5 years and after a period in the wilderness I want to get going in PC gaming. I was originally going to upgrade the GPU as well but can't afford it as yet, just going for the CPU upgrade. Plus I'd rather hang back on the GPU until the new ones come out which I assume will be a matter of months from now.
Regarding minimums and average FPS, I am not expecting to have a massive uplift seeing as though the 1080ti is a bit long in the tooth now (plus I play at 1440p) but I just wondered if anyone else had made a similar move and if there was any improvement? I do play Starfield a lot and am expecting the CPU bottlenecks to be removed with the upgrade. I also play other stuff like Wreckfest, Anno 1800, No Mans Sky, Dishonoured. I assume I will get something out of the 1080ti for Spiderman but not holding my breath.

You should see a great improvement over the 2700, especially in minimums.
The 1080ti is old, but will be given another shot of life with the new CPU. I ran games on my P40 for a while, which is basically a 1080ti, and it's surprising how well it does.

Great combo right, my CH6 is one of the best computer purchases in my 20+ history. Cost me £231 back then (or £301 adjusted for inflation) and the equivalent is now double that which just shows you how silly the PC market has become.Went from a 3700x to a 5800x3D and I love it using it on my Crosshair VI Hero 7 year old motherboard, should get me a couple more years out of it before I need to upgrade again

Not much difference? Not like going from dual to hex etc.
Yep never thought 7 years later I would still be using it let alone doing another CPU upgrade.

It's the minimum FPS that matters in games, and I'll die on this hill. Which makes the 5800X3D the king tbh, as we see in the Fallout 4 and Oblivion benchmark thread. Sure the 7800X3D is faster, but it costs more too.
your link show it gets the highest honor the site as for gaming
and for speed in general its 120 ranks in front of the 3700x
Userbenchmark isn't accurate, in fact it's a flat out terrible resource.
One of the main benefits of X3D chips is increasing minimum frames, I went from a 3700X to a 5800X3D with a 4070 myself and the difference was night and day. Even outside of minimums, a lot of the games I play saw way beyond 20% in max frames too. It does depend to an extent on what you play, some games really don't care about the extra L3, but there's others that absolutely love it. World of Warcraft for example benefits massively, a lot of sims, MMO's, and grand strategy 4x or RTS games love the X3D chips, CoD Warzone is an FPS that massively gets on with it. Colony/management type games such as Factorio often see a big improvement.
Things aren't as black and white with CPU's as a lot of people seem to think.
Just read some of their reviews and look are the ranking system Userbenchmark is heavily Intel and NVIDIA biased, they claim to be independent and only interested in real world results and performance but if you read any of their reviews and see what they say about AMD CPU's and GPU's then compare it to what they say in the Intel and NVIDIA...
Then they go on to call pretty much all of the tech media AMD shills who are payed to make Intel and NVIDIA look bad...
just read the Userbenchmark about and Q&A section it's good for a laugh.
This is not new infomation? i never linked it
They are a scam site with a chip on their shoulder

Absolutely. I dont think you need to die on the hill though, most sensible people have come to that realisation.
I went from a 3600 to a 5700x3d and the difference is ridiculous. I could literally see in real time my cpu creaking in a lot of games (elden ring, tekken 8 for example) under a 3600.
Unless you building a new system then going for am4 would be silly. But if you already have a am4 based system it’s a no brainier
