Poll: Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

I tested the same area as hardware unboxed, which you can see from their video, being the dogtown area from Phantom Liberty. (I never took a recording of it though) I remember getting around 120-130fps, while they claimed to get around 189 avg.

Not really sure what could be wrong, already done a clean install of Windows. Everything is setup the way it should be.
The Cyberpunk 2.0 update brought a huge increase to the games CPU requirements, I lost a lot of CPU performance after the patch.

Recently benchmarked the CPU getting 35-36K in Cinebench multi-core without PBO.

Those results you are getting in Cyberpunk are crazy. Like a good 40% higher than other benchmarks I have seen people post of that area on the same chip. Is that with crowd density on high? Would be interesting to see what you get in this area with RT on and high crowd density.

Especially when driving through the tunnel under the glass during the day. That’s probably the most CPU heavy area in the game right now. That’s where I am dropping into the 60s.

That was using 1080P Ultra Ray Tracing preset with Crowd Density at high. I showed the settings at the start bar the crowd density option which at that time was under a different menu.

Not sure I can access the other area yet in my single player game as I'm not that far into the game. How do you get there exactly? The image you posted doesn't work btw.

My results are usually higher than what HUB get, so if they get 189 FPS I'll probably get more than that.

Because I am currently forced to use my mobile right now, imgur is of course refusing to upload lol, try this link instead.

Corporate Plaza (2077)

Corporate Plaza[1] (also known as Corpo Plaza[2] or Corporate Center[1]) is a sub-district of City Center in Night City. Corpo Plaza is the jewel of neopostmodern, neomilitaristic architecture, paradoxically owing its style to the tragedy that occurred in 2023 during the Fourth Corporate War...

This area, when driving under the glass circle during the day, is without a doubt the most demanding location in the game.

Update:
Here found a video of the area on YouTube.

With RT ultra preset (+DLSS perf) at 1080p I'm seeing drops into the 80s and occasionally high 70s in that area on the 7800X3D

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Is the 7800X3D decent (or maybe the 7900?)? Not sure whether I’ll upgrade yet, but if I did it would be the one I’d go for. Not interested in overclocking. Would it pair well with a 7900XTX? Gaming at 4K which I figure uses less CPU?

 

[Mugen_fd2]

If you are gaming it’s probably the best cpu you can get right now.

its super efficient, inexpensive, easy to cool and the fastest gaming CPU there is....... even if you don't need it to be all that why bother with a lesser alternative if its going to cost the same?

You can’t go wrong with the 7800X3D for the reasons said above. A big plus, you dont need to spend money on high end memory due to the cache. It won’t affect performance in any meaningful way.

Another plus is the cooling requirements are really low.

Is there any benchmark that support this? I'm interested because I'm going to buy a lot of memory and on 64GB savings can be substantial.

 

[henry hoov3r]

I used the fastest memory I could get at the time for my 7800X3D.

Yes, just have a look around. My testing with with some cheap Corsair B-Die vengeance against Hynix A-Die, both tuned, showed very little difference. The 3D Cache offsets the need for fast memory. Over 6000 CL34 shows very little gain.

 

[RaiderX]

I was planning an upgrade to the 7800x3d and was wondering about memory speeds. Looks like I won't have to worry too much and can focus on capacity.

The sweetspot is DDR 6000 CL30, don't go any lower and there's no benefit going higher. Don't make the mistake of assuming that means some cheaper 4800 RAM will be a good purchase. Lower speed RAM will have a 5% - 10% impact.

Pairing fast RAM with a top-end CPU is a logical choice, but what happens when that processor is a Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 128 MB of cache?...

G skill are off the naughty step now im assuming.

Thats the kit im using and its been spot on.

The benefit of going higher is that in the future if AMD release next gen CPUs with higher memory capability’s, say 7600mhz I’d have ram that I know will run those higher speeds.

Future proofing is a myth perpetuated by hardware companies. Paying £120 or more over the odds for RAM you can’t get benefit from now is a mugs game. The idea that someday “maybe you will see that potential”, is rarely ever realised in PC HW. I’m sure all those 2080Ti and 3090Ti owners are delighted with their future proofed GPUs.

If you have an extra £120+ in your budget then put it towards a better CPU and get a 7950X3D instead of a 7800X3D (or 7900X3D if productivity is your main goal with gaming also important). Or maybe get 64GB instead of 32GB. That way you get instant actual benefits instead of “potential” that may never be reached.

Non RGB ram is preferred these days, runs a tad cooler draws a tad less power, can be helpful when going for those OC’s.

How’s it paying £120 more? It’s more like £10-35 more and if future CPU support faster memory which is likey with what happened over the course of AM4 then your covered in the future.
