You guys are actually buying these processors? I’m still running a 4770 and a 1060.
I’m on a 4770k and GTX 980 as well but I’m really feeling the pain because all the newer games I want to play are CPU bottlenecked.
Is 20% faster than intel a step up, generation on generation?
It’ll be a step up from the 7800x3d, but how much is a question. The 9000 series in general has been a disappointment in terms of the gains that were expected, but it does show some kind of gain. There’s reason to think those issues are fixable. Linux performance does show a decent uplift, for one, which has not been the case with Intel’s Arrow Lake chips.
the main benefit on the performance increase from zen4 to zen 5 is the reordering of the cache and chip layers allowed them to clock the cores higher, as one of the biggest bottlenecks for older x3d designs was clocks, due to the chip internally insulating a lot of the heat, so their clocks were stepped back from their non x3d counterparts.
the 9800x3d base and turbo clocks are a generous step up from previous gen, and likely the biggest contributing factor to the performamce increase when reviews drop.
Finally, now I can afford the 5800x3D.
what game can’t be ran by a 5800x3D ? if anything I feel like graphic cards are the biggest bottle neck right now
Simulators and games with mods can push the cpu. But yeah. Mostly gpu limited.
The gpu has been the gaming bottleneck for decades.
Yup. I have no trouble running modern games on my Ryzen 5600, which doesn’t even have the massive cache of the 3D chips. I’m not spending >$1k on a GPU, so my CPU is likely more than sufficient for quite a while.
Almoast any paradox game , except for maybe victoria 3.
I think I might be the only person who bought a 9950x on launch and was actually very happy with it. Not only it performs excellent, but unlike its predecessor, I can actually use it with air cooling, it’s a very efficient and powerful CPU.
