Experience with Ryzen master game mode?

I was watching Jayztwocents video on optimising flight sim 2020 and he mentioned using game mode on his 3950x and said it was a definite improvement.

Has anyone here tried? on what CPU? it and can you recommend it?
Thanks

I tried it on my 3600 but the vcore was too high. Found it better to use that tool to find the optimal overclock and set it manually.
 
i tried it on my 3600 and 3700x and TBF nothing showed any really improvement over just using PBO setting in bios

I thought it reduced the number of threads rather than auto overclocked?

on the 3950x it was reduce the threads and set the higher performing cores to run the game. on lower core cpu's it just for overclocking.
and 32 thread cpu i would this there is good gaines to be had.

That's interesting, especially reserving the higher performing cores.

I have a 3900x in one of my systems so it may be beneficial for that too?
 
I initially tried it to reduce the CPU temps but since using the CTR 1.1 tool it doesn't make that much now so just keep all cores enabled. CTR itself made much more difference if power/temps are important but I haven't tried enough games plus using an RX 5600XT temporarily means the GPU is the currently the limit anyway.

Edge case but when I update drivers and start Horizon Zero Dawn it takes a lot longer to optimise the shader cache if I forgot to re-enable all cores!

the only way to know is try, not all games/systems will give the same results.
But there is nothing to lose, its just a click of a mouse

Play some game, run a few benchmarks and track to systems performance.

I didn't realize AMD made this much effort with tweaking for games. It's pretty cool TBH.
