I guess maybe they need a bit of extra income to ensure they can keep these forums up and running so that folks have the ability to publicly whinge about their pricing policies. Makes you wander why these other retailers don't go to the bother of paying for and staffing their own forums out of their own pocket for the benefit of the community.

Yeah that must be it....

Notice quite a few people *side grading* from the 5900x to the 5800x3d. I’m intrigued, is it a worthwhile move? (For 1440p gaming)

I think it very much depends on the games you play, some may benefit from the extra clock speed of the 5900X others may benefit from the 3D VCache of the 5800X3D so it's very much worthwhile looking at benchmarks that contain the games / game engines you are most interested in (Gamers Nexus / Hardware Unboxed). Anecdotal evidence would point to the 5800X3D chip being better from a gaming perspective and I am sure that there are posts in the pages before this one from folks that have made the switch from 59000X to 5800X3D with their experiences.

Very nice, what's the motherboard and settings for CPU ?

Gigabyte x570 aorus pro, 2 by 8gb sticks of 3200 cl14 and minus 30 on pbo2.

before pbo 2 it wouldn't go over 4250mhz

How did you get an extra 70 pts over me on the same test? I'm guessing memory timings yours are a lot tighter than mine.

Could be down to temps ?

margin of error ? are you doing all the tricks closing everything ? fans maxed ? cb23 running set to high priority ? wouldnt worry about it when its that close

Mr.Cookie · 30 Jan 2023 at 22:52

Only thing I closed was steam, had hwinfo running and fans on a standard curve, it's quite cool in the room though.
What's the high priority?

I upgraded from a 3900x to the 5800x3D which was a nice boost.

I play MSFS and currently have a 5900x with a 4090, and thinking about swapping for a 5800x3d. Not sure I really want to invest in a whole new mobo, DDR5 etc for new AMD chips.

You'll have to eventually, though bear in mind more games will need more cores as time goes by. Cyberpunk has areas that bring 8 core CPU's to their knees for example.

You will only see a boost in some games/engines going from a 5900x to a 5800x3D, so check reviews/benchmarks to see if they are the kinds of games you play. Bethesda games benefit and VR gets a nice boost.

I'm joining the 3D cache club, managed to get the B grade one. From benchmarks I'm hoping to gain 20 fps in warzone.

Have a look at benchmarks for MSFS but the ones i have seen show the 5800x3d as one of the best cpus for the game

I hope you paid less than £330 for it

Good idea and makes sense. Will be selling my 5800x3d when I upgrade and expect a fair few others to do the same so you might see some good bargains on the second hand market.

I managed to get it for £280, pretty good price I think.

Not sure how this will work with the new zen 4 3dx processors if you need 8+ cores but you only have 8 vcache cores. Hopefully it work well but I don’t know and don’t have much confidence either. How will this even work with the 7900x3D having less vcache cores than a 7800x3D with gaming. Will it result in less gaming performance but greater non gaming performance?
