AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Any noticeable difference in games at 4k?

This is what i was wondering myself. but i haven't pre recorded frames of any games. and the differences probably would be close. so im just going off by feeling. but atm only playing sparking zero and thrones and liberty.
Beginning of december ill try my VR games which should tell me more.
At this point i just wanted to be prepared for the 5090 and pickup any gains along the way since i didnt have a 3d chip yet.

4hrs of chicken choking.

Oh didn't realise this was out. I look forward to not noticing any difference over my 7800X3D.

Is there no 16 core 9950X3D cpu to replace the 7950X3D cpu ?

Edit: Googled it and People think it due to be released sometime later in 2025

Yes, it will be shown at CES

wow, I was going to watch later but didn't realise this was 4hrs! Maybe I'll skip that

I did want to watch but only see if that long beard or long hair was going to get caught in the fans

so the long and the short of it is with a 4090 you will notice no difference at 2-4k what's ever so if you do a same gen or last gen amd upgrade only if you game at 1080p

 

[parisv]

So there is a difference with 4k. Nice

Looking at those stats it almost isn't worth upgrading from 5800X3D to 9800X3D for 1440p. Sure if you run 1080P but only small gains in 1440p and 4K is even worse

This one shows there is a difference in games which use the cpu at 1440p and 4k https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2024-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-review?page=2

Thanks for sharing. I think that’s the most comprehensive set of data from any review for 4K, although here it does seem perform relatively better at 4K than a lot of other reviews were suggesting - promising, but might be an ‘outlier’.

I posted earlier links to Polish website and their results, as they also test carefully in CPU bound places in games, even in high resolutions - in such places there are very visible differences in FPS (and 1% lows) between CPUs. But yes, most places in games will be GPU bound, just not all.

after going over the reviews, ill stick with 7800x3d, the performance increase is not worth the cost of the chip.

You could call it 1080p, 1440p and 4k or you could call it

DLSS Performance​

Which would mean 540p, 720p and 1080p being upscaled which is completely fine but it's important to recognise it is being upscaled.

It’s bizarre that they group the results by processor name instead of fastest to slowest like any normal person would.

There’s never a need to upgrade over 1 generation. 5800x3d is perfectly fine too. What will be interesting is zen 6 when they can fit more cores on one ccd.

Exactly. I swear people forget there are processors older than the one they own. lol. Saw one reviewer claim "whats the point of this? yes it's faster than the 7800x3d, but no one should be upgrading from that to this, just throwing their money away" but countless millions of people don't have that CPU. :/

This is what I have been wondering as I have a 5800X3D. I'm going to wait to see a few more benchmarks/reviews, my main game is MS Flight Simulator 2020 (soon to be 2024). I am about to upgrade to a 4K monitor too, so will be becoming more GPU bound anyway I imagine. Although flight simulators have always been more CPU intensive. The 3D V-Cache has proven to be very beneficial in FS2020.

Yes it's easy to look at the benchmarks and be wowed by the 9800x3d. But at 4k the difference between a 5800x3d and the 9800x3d isn't that wide considering the costs involved to do the upgrade.

A 5800x3d is still a great chip and easily capable of powering the latest titles.

Even the Nvidia 5000 series I should* skip. So far a 4080 is handling 4k just fine with DLSS.

Unless vram requirements or something else changes that needs a 5000 series card I think I should be skipping the 5000 series.

But that's what I said about my 3080. The only reason I upgraded was because of the vram. 10gb was becoming an issue even at 1440p.

But to bring this back to CPUs, if I did opt for a new 5000 series GPU I wouldn't want to pair it with my older platform so an upgrade would start to get very expensive when everything is performing just fine.

How many more years does AM5 have? How many more cpu launches?

AM6 can't be round the corner yet surely?

they normally do, the x3d models throw a wrench in that though. because for some tasks they are far slower than higher numbered CPU's. but for other things like gaming, they are miles and miles ahead.

Tbf, Intel now does something similar with their newest processors being slower than last gen, at least they changed the name thoo though.

I swear no company model naming makes any sense, Sony has always been the worst,
