Thanks, I think for the games I play, The uptick is not too bad. Warzone/COD, Battlefield, Cyberpunk, and a few other randoms thrown in. Still not 100% sold, If it came in a bit lower I may pounce.

I now need to somehow justify it to my wife or basically apply husband economics to it (take purchase price and reduce by 50%. "It was a great price at £175!!!").
Mine just offered to pay for it for my birthday, I declined in the hope I can bag something even better/bigger 
.
As for husband economics...........something something future proofing, catching it at the best price, CPUs are going to be too expensive in X months, it will make you do more chores as it's more efficient in your gaming/productivity needs. Fill in the rest and you're sound

Edit - what a wife, she paid for it

Hahahaha! I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that!
I ordered mine elsewhere as had work vouchers and next day delivery so £338 in the end, not too bad. Shall do some before and after benches, coming from 5600x and main gaming res. is 3440x1440 and use dlss where and when possible so should see decent enough improvement.

Lying to your wife about your purchases may not be a good long-term strategy if she ever finds out you were BS'ing her.

You're 100% right of course, this time I avoided revealing exactly how much I spent after the sale of my 5900X. No harm no foul...and if this is my last post on the forum take that as Richdog's lesson!

I had a 5950X prior to the 5800X3D, I simply opened task manager one day and then closely monitored it on a daily basis for the next couple of week, for my everyday usage not including benchmarks of course, out of the 32 threads, I was using only 16, the other 16 were either ----------- or ~~~~~~~~~~~~ doing next to nothing, I was ready to pay the full £450 for the 5800X3D, two days before I brought it.....it dropped to £350 and that made my mind up.

Im honestly just trying to find a way to make a nice silent gaming PC with this CPU without the it going into the high 80/90's

Sounds like I'll be swapping my 3900x out in the next week or so then! Stretch the legs of the 4090 a bit more!
After reading up several threads around the internet, I'm just not so sure if I can justify the jump from 5800X to 3D. Sure some games benefit more but probably not worth it for me. If I was still rocking my R5 3600, I would have been all over this.
I'll maybe play about with curve optimiser and PBO instead.

@Gibbo will there be any BF deals this year on Ryzen or intel cpus or even Bundles?? ( Can they be on payday haha )

My thoughts on it too, was looking for an excuse to swap from my 5800x to the 3D and the 1% lows seem really impressive - but it feels like I'd be more sensible waiting for a couple of years and doing a full platform upgrade.
I'm in the same boat...I have my 5700X which happily boosts to 4.85Ghz without fail on a -30/+200 PBO setting so there really would be no real benefit for me especially given I game at 4K. The 4090 is currently hitting the 144hz cap with ease so I'll be fine for a while. I need to just learn to settle
If I was still on my 2700x however, in a heartbeat!I think thats what I'll do too. Wait for it to mature a bit before moving over. I could probably gain some of the difference back if I spent some time tuning my B-die RAM and doing the curve optimiser and PBO. Maybe not so much on the 1% lows but who knows.
Yeah I think that would definitely be a bit of a waste being at 4k, I don't think there is any difference at that resolution?I'm in the same boat...I have my 5700X which happily boosts to 4.85Ghz without fail on a -30/+200 PBO setting so there really would be no real benefit for me especially given I game at 4K.

Even at native 4K ultra there is definitely a difference if you’re using a 4090. In the Division 2 base on my 5950x I was getting drops to around 90fps, since swapping to the 5800x3D it’s now 120fps locked with GPU headroom to spare.
A good 20fps increase in frame rate I posted a little while ago here in Far Cry 6 at native 4K and games that use DLSS this chip is pushing my 4090 harder than my 5950x did.
I may have lost half the cores and lost 500mhz on on the single core performance but if mainly gaming this 5800x3D is amazing.
It’s insane to think even at 4K ultra 120 high end CPUs after now a big bottleneck. Really hope AMD and Intels next CPUs are really fast because they are going to have a hard time pushing future cards at this rate unless 8k gaming picks up in popularity.
