You will want to upgrade your CPU after this… Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

In a recent video we took a look at the performance of the new AMD Radeon RX 7900XT and we mentioned in that video we had some issues at lower resolutions due to the CPU we were using. Well now this issue is gone and with a new monster of a CPU in hand we are seeing some awesome improvements.

The 5800x3d is going to join the 1080ti in gaming lore for the next 4-5 years.

[UltraGameWorld]

It made a big difference, the 5800X3D is one of the best gaming CPU's ever released and will be good for many more years, good video mate!

I upgraded from the Ryzen 5 3600 to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and it's made a heck of a difference in everything. I do though only run the RTX 3070 and have been looking to upgrade the GPU. Given the benchmarks you were showing, I seriously look at getting the Radeon 7900XT as it looks like a powerhouse of a GPU. I'm not really interested in ray tracing and with the price that Nvidia GPUs are going for these days, they just don't seem like all that great value any more.

I'm doing exactly the same thing right now, going from 5600x to 5800X3D but I game at 1440p, the differences won't be as big but I am doing it for better 1% lows and less frame jumping plus it does play very well with Flight Simulator 2020 and also for a bit of future proofing. I was going to upgrade to AM5 but I think I will wait for the 2nd generation now.

I upgraded from a 3900x to a 5800x3D last week. Improvement is awesome.

Great video thanks!

I did recently upgrade from an R5 2600X, and the 5800X3d CPU was on my shopping list.

I ended up going with an R7 5700X and I'm very please with it.
The deciding factor was cost, I with an Amazon discount code I managed to get the 5700X for £124. £150 less than the 5800X3d at the time.

The 5700X is performing admirably at ultra wide 1440p especially on sim games like Train Sim 3 which is surprisingly demanding. Another nice feature of the 5700x is lower power consumption, 65W, and heat. With a single fan ID cooler it manages to stay around 55c under heavy load.


Id love the Fractal AIO to go in my case, (same as yours) but they are quite pricey at the moment.

Now I really want to upgrade my CPU. It's been holding back my 3080 in quite a few games😅

[andresgallego]

I used to have a 9700k with my 3080 and in some games the bottleneck was real, one of the games that made that very clear was Cyberpunk, I upgraded to the 5800X3D and the difference is noticeable even in the games I did not notice there was a bottleneck, the little stutters you see from time to time I attributed to the game were actually mostly fixed with the 3D chip.

I recently built a new PC with the 5800x3D at its heart. Got some good offers on end of line stock. Coming from a fx8350 the difference is certainly noticeable, though to be honest the fx chip is still capable enough for most tasks, despite having been in my system since 2013, always clocked at 4.6 ghz, with a Corsair H80i that still keeps it cool.

Can't wait to see the improvement over my 3700x, I just got a x3d on sale for under $300

[exstasis]

I think it's a worthy upgrade even for an older Intel CPU user such as myself. I just bought a used AM4 motherboard and used 5800x3D and am waiting for it in the mail right now. I've been long over due for a CPU upgrade due to CPU bottlenecking in VR games, heavily modded Minecraft, Baldur's Gate 3, and soon to be Starfield.

[vellocx]

something that has to be said is that even in scenarious without a cpu bottleneck there is a noticable increase in 1% lows, which makes any game feel more smooth.
I have made exactly this upgrade and it is amazing. I even got my PBO curve to -30 and it's perfectly stable (afaik most should get at least -20)

[Obie]

I'm impressed with my 5800X3D especially with older single threaded games. The extra cache reduces memory swaps to main system ram. It really smooths out game studdering when clocks speeds alone couldn't achieve. Just upgraded my friend's rig from a 5700x to 5800X3D today. AM4 still rocks!

[keadrin]

I went from a R5 1600 to a 5800x3d just recently... no more bottlenecking my 1080 ti, hoping to upgrade to a 7900 XT at some point (or XTX)

[cristiancarbajal]

I just upgraded to this from the Ryzen 5 3600 and im loving it 🔥

[happymusic]

I did the exact same upgrade and I can say it is not only the Framerate, everything runs smoother and it is a better experience overall.

[AvroBellow]

I have an R7-5800X3D coupled with an RX 6800 XT. That CPU is just IN-SANE! Since I didn't have to upgrade my motherboard, I decided to double my RAM instead to 32GB!

I owe you an apology, I wanted to subscribe to you back when you were given problems by one of the big companies because they didn't want you to be honest. I saw Steve Burke talking about you and I wanted to subscribe but I unfortunately forgot. I'm glad that I was able to rectify that and you have a new subscriber in me! Cheers!

[Mr.GameCrazy]

What a difference in performance from 5600X to 5800X3D (besides Horizon Zero Dawn)! I'm glad I chose to go with that chip for my gaming computer! Currently using the RX 6600 XT GPU!

[sprsk]

Good Work ! ... for 1080p is a good upgrade, but for 2K the diference is smaller and for 3K and 4K there are no ( = ZERO ) diference !

[RobBCactive]

I upgraded to a 5800x3D when the prices fell last month, but then my 5600x, X570 board and RAM went to a data analyst who needed a working build fast for her work.
So actually I should have gone to 7600x with B650 & Expo RAM as it would have been just 50€ more and uplifted the whole platform.
I only had weeks before doing 2 rebuilds as I took my used parts in a rucksack building it into a new case.
I really like x3D tech, but the uplift is insanely big sometimes, but it's a little slower than the 6c at common light threaded tasks.
A cool running CPU the large L3 reduces power consumption to/from memory and the stepping improved.
It's like having a torquey V8 vs a 4cyl turbo.
