AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Must resist upgrading from a 13600k to a 9800x3d... think I've decided not to!
Whether or not I can resist the upgrade from my 7900xtx to the 5000 series.. that's another question :P

Tbh that would make more sense. A 13600K is a beast especially when finely tuned. Either way, you'll never see close to double the performance gains going to the 9800X3D from it, but GPU on the other hand, almost trivial to do.
 
Started testing memory 6600c28

Back in stock for £500 :(

Gibbo explained the other day why so it shouldn't come as a surprise:

Dont think I would bother 6000/7000 series maybe not much out there to streach a 7900xtx as it is

don't read that thread anymore but it's good to know thanks.

Just read through it there, very fair points from OC side so cant complain

Some further tuning on a different sample. It has weaker IMC (6600 1:1 is not possible), but the cores are a bit stronger and it does 2233Mhz FCLK.

Cyberpunk 1080P Low Preset


Dawntrail 720P Standard Laptop Preset
what are your cpu over clock settings? I'm getting 250 fps but have 3090. At 1080p low I thought it would not use the gpu as much but i see it at 98% usage.
 
@Poneros Thought this might interest you. I've tested that area again with my new tuning settings. More details in the YouTube video below.



Below are the latest results, accompanied by a saved game file and instructions for comparison to achieve a more consistent run.


Results:
0.1% FPS: 108
1% FPS: 122
Average FPS: 165
Max FPS: 183


The full image quality settings are displayed at the end of the video.

1080P Maximum Settings (not RT Overdrive pre-set which is not max settings)
Frame Gen Off
RR+PT On
HDD Mode Off
SMT On

Saved game file attached from the exact location i tested. Place it in your Cyberpunk 2077 save game folder. Load the saved game. Immediately begin recording with the game bar, and wait for the recording overlay to appear. Then, start logging FPS values with MSI Afterburner two seconds later, as demonstrated in my video. When the recording counter reaches 5 seconds, proceed forward. Stop at the same location as shown. Follow the identical path, keeping to the line on the floor. Cease capturing FPS statistics with MSI Afterburner at around 45 seconds. If performed correctly, at 45 seconds into the video, you should be navigating to the video menu. Enter the Video menu, then access the Graphics menu to display the image quality settings, ensuring they correspond with those specified above.

Will the 9900X3D and 9950X3D be performing worse at gaming than the 9800X3D due to the nature of the chip design and Cache placement?

Not sure if I should wait it out or grab a 9800X3D when I see one in stock..

So this is with PBO enabled +200mhz -30 curve x10 scaler, ram has had it's timings tuned.

I just ran again with x1 scaler and got 10 pts more so there's no difference for cinebench

That’s expected as scalar allows the CPU to use a bit more voltage for an extended period of time. More voltage, lower clock speeds. More negative curve optimiser, less voltage higher clock speed and score.
