Just flicked through JayZTwoCents and he/they tested both the 5900X and 5950X with the MSI 3090 Gaming X Trio. Both CPUs matched or outperformed the 10900K. And SotTR was in their list at 1080 and 1440p.

Dude, Igor has a duff CPU.

Good spot. Jay's only testing 1440p/high rather than 1440p/ultra but hopefully that does indicate that Igor might have a dud. Will keep mine in the box for a few days just to be sure, hopefully a few others will bench similar combinations :p

None of those tested the same situation where Igor hit the problems unless I'm mistaken. 5900X, 3090, 1440p/4K ultra, Shadow of Tomb Raider or Far Cry New Dawn (but no doubt there will be others). Hardware Unboxed tested the 5950X, Gamer Nexus only tested 1080p, hardware canucks/optimum tech didn't test those games.

You're grasping at straws now mate. If 1080p looks good, so will 1440p - I will give you $1k if a 5900x drops from top spot to bottom spot going from 1080p to 1440p LMAO. But you won't see a cent because it makes absolutely no sense for a game to become more cpu bottlenecked as resolution increase..

Looking at all of these results, a 5600x is basically all you will likely need for the next couple of years. :D

Now that I have missed the initial miniscule batch of 5900x's, if I don't get any kind of delivery date confirmation in the next few days then I am tempted to cancel and wait until the new year until the 5700x arrives.

I'm not "grasping at straws", I'm simply listing the figures Igor got in his review: https://www.igorslab.de/en/amd-ryze...-wird-intels-10-generation-jetzt-obsolet-2/6/ He might have a faulty chip or there might be something else going on. He's not exactly an amateur reviewer so it's interesting.

Your concern is understandable but is results are not in line with anyone else's so it's a good indiction that something isn't right and that it's very likely not to do with the "specific topology" of the 5900x.

Igor is swapping his out for another this weekend it looks to be faulty.

Thanks for the info! I'll wait for his new figures before unsealing mine, hopefully he just has a dud at the moment.

Edit: On Igors forum someone posted another review with 5900X + 3090 and their 4K Ultra SotTR benchmark seems to be better, so it probably is just a bad chip. Weird that the problem only manifested itself under such specific testing circumstances.

Have ordered a 5950x and a 5800x, but tempted to cancel both and wait for the Ryzen 5700x, same as you.
Think it will be fine for my needs.

I was all set for 5900x but once I went through check out took ages to load and missed out looking back now I think it's blessing for my use just purely gaming its overkill and the 5800x pricing doesn't help

Looking at how the 5600x performs Ideally for me would be 5700x paired with 6800xt

In some games not all, but a good result nonetheless.

30% faster than 10900k in all counter strike games

45% faster than 10900k in valorant

20% faster than 10900k in call of duty

esports gamers who make up much of 1080p users who ill be happy because zen 3 is by far the king of single core latency sensitive competitive shooting games
 
There are large piles of Ryzen 3000 stock and nothing 5000 series - AMD needs to stop the production of the old, inefficient Zen 2-based CPUs and relocate 100% of the wafers for Zen 3!

Is that the 10 nm design backported to 14 nm with less cores? Don't think Intel will be reclaiming anything unless they've figured out how to get to 7ghz....

For gaming, if Rocket Lake delivers IPC improvement, I think the gaming will be again for Core i-something.
