AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D retail processor has been tested ahead of launch

[ChocAndGray]

Yet to find any game I can't get 'high' FPS on at 4k. Of course, can't run all AAA games 4k all settings max, though 4k medium looks so much better than lower resolutions such as 1440P on max, IMO at leasy. Literally can't stand jagged edges and low resolution graphics.

Like yourself I can't stand jaggies, and I'd always prefer to game at 4K. But certain games like Control, Borderlands, and Even Forza Horizon 5 I'm nowhere near getting 120fps at 4k.

I think some games can still look ok rendered at a lower resolution. Borderlands is a good example, I set the resolution scale (at 4k) to 75% and it isn't jarring.

4K TV's (LG OLED's) are typically much better than monitors at £1k or under, though these do require big desks, or wall mounting.

4K OLED have been available brand new at £1k or less, also easy to get second hand ones for far less than this.

Ok but for instance in my situation. I have ps5 and series X in my living room for comfortable gaming on a 65 inch Sony and then pc in my office on 32 inch high FPS monitor (1440p), until I can move to a very decent high FPS monitor (doubles for work 9-5) I am not going near 4k. OLED won't do here due to image retention.

Ryzen 7 5800X3D shines in first gaming benchmarks
XanxoGaming continues to test their Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU, thus far the only media in the world that has the CPU and is not under any embargo. A day after they published synthetic test results of the new AMD CPU, they finally have a gaming benchmark, but it’s probably not what many of us expected.

The publication tested only one game thus far, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, at 720p resolution and custom ultra settings (ultra shadows). Such scenario is commonly used for CPU tests, but more than likely to show smaller differences once the resolution goes higher.

The test has been performed using CapFrameX software with direct help of the developer. This ensures that the process is as accurate and comparable as possible. What is interesting here is that the 5800X3D with RTX 3080 Ti GPU is actually faster than i9-12900KF processor with RTX 3090 Ti, clearly showing that this is a CPU-bound test.

XanxoGaming is currently working on 11 game tests at 1080p resolution. Those tests from what we are told are finished, but the data still needs to be compared to Intel system, which may take time. However, we should expect more results in the coming days.

Try lowering 'some' settings at 4k, can get huge FPS increases and still keep the crisp sharpness of 4K

I've worked and gamed on a LG CX48 since June 2020. That's several thousand hours for work, games and some media mixed in. 0 image retention, as have thousands of other people. LG have conquered image retention.

Bodes well when you need to lower the settings right from the off

Yeah same here. I've owned an E9 for over 2 years and not suffered any screen burn. Image retention can be normal, and it's only usually temporary.

I really don't think it's a major concern on modern tv's.

1% lows on the right hand side screen cap, 250 FPS, for it to keep frame rates as high as that consistently bodes well for its frame pacing prowess, this thing should be as smooth as slightly warm butter.

Yeah it's all about "dem lows".

Really has a massive difference to overall smoothness. I'm not bothered about hitting 120fps if I get huge frametime spikes when the fps drops to 65fps. I'd rather have consistency above all else.

I just wish there were more reviews and benchmarks. Are we not going to see any of this until the 20th of April?

 

[Freddie1980]

Would you class a regression over 5800X scores a success?

Is it a regression? Doesn't the 3D model clock and boost slightly lower then the standard model?

So at a much lower DPI then a 32" 1440 display?

10-11% boost in performance (vs 5800x at stock) as seen in Blender is about what I'd expect for what is basically just a cache upgrade.

The numbers look more favourable when compared to the 5800 (non X).

As some others have pointed out, in games the 0.1/1% lows are probably the most important thing.

Zen 4 will upgrade the L2 cache, which might end up more worthwhile.

Frankly i'm surprised it got anything at all in Blender.

 

[g67575]

I think it might come down to how much AMD allows this thing to be overclocked. If it can at least match the 5800X, it should give a nice boost.

I think it would have been better if it didn't gain anything at all outside of games, that way at least its firmly just an upgrade for gaming, with small upgrades to other stuff i can see how reviewers might take that as licence to treat it like a generation CPU up grade and with that make their entire narrative about how its not good enough.

Because clicks.

 

[ChocAndGray]

I'm sure overclocking is not supported, as there are voltage restrictions hence why it can't boost as high. So certainly PBO2 is out the question.

Or do you mean an all core overclock?

Not everyone wants to play front of massive screen ? 4k isn't even worth it on smaller screens ain't even gonna notice the difference while sacrificing frames

Pretty sure 1440p is called the sweet spot, picture quality with high frames

This generation doesn't even have much headroom at 4k you need all this upscaling don't know how much lifespan you will have at 4k with current cards , maybe next gen will give the headroom at 4k with higher consistent frames

Console's at 4k sometimes they upscale are capped at like 30-60fps , I couldn't go back to that just feels stuttery to me now

Most of this is true, i did notice the difference from 1440p to 4k, but it's not mind blowing as some would make out (surprise surprise)

4k only pretty recently became good anyway for monitors (IMO) because that's when we had noticeably better pixel response times and higher refresh rates.

So at a much lower DPI then a 32" 1440 display?

He will likely not answer. I've made this argument before. PPI & distance to screen matters.

 

[humbug]

I have a 1440P 32" screen, is that bad?

 

[ChocAndGray]

I have a 1440P 32" screen, is that bad?

I'd say it's on the edge in terms of screen size for that resolution. The same way 24" was on the edge for 1080P (with regards to monitors anyway). What I mean by edge is any larger with that resolution starts to look bad in my opinion. Some would argue that 27" is the limit for 1440p.

A higher resolution would look nicer, but if you're happy with it then it doesn't matter.

I think the key thing is viewing distance.

Also resolution aside, image quality matters too. I'd rather have a top quality 1080p screen than a budget 1440p.

 

[Troezar]

I have a 1440P 32" screen, is that bad?

I have one and a 1440p 27". The 32" is definitely not as sharp but more than acceptable. I'd say 4K at 32" would be ideal but GPU prices to drive one are far too high, as are the decent monitor prices.
