Question about 7800x3d chipset driver

claulito · 2025-01-06T03:20:19+0000

Hello
I have read many different comments regarding the installation of AMD 3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer & AMD PPM Provisioning when installing the chipset driver, having the 7800x3d. Is it advisable to do so? Or should I not install them? Would it improve gaming performance if I don't install them? I have a b650 m pg riptide asrock, 4080 super, ddr 5 6000mhz cl32 gskill and a 7800x3d.

I tried it, made no noticeable difference to me.

I was under the impression it was for the 7900-7950 and not required for the 8 core.

I'm sure it was this and if you had an 8 core CPU it was not necessary.

I installed it because I had a 7900x before my 9800x3d.

There's only one ccx on the 7800x3d, so those drivers are redundant.

The 7900x3d and 7950x3d have 2 CCXs, 1 x3d and 1 regular. The drivers are for allocating the right tasks to the x3d ccx, and parking the regular ccx when you're gaming.

but if install those drivers, could it decrease performance?
