Older Ryzen CPUs Just Got Buffed

Its amazing to see how well the Ryzen 5000 series is still doing and how good the Ryzen 7000 processors are hanging on. And now there's supposedly a way to get even better gaming performance and framerates with a simple update. But what's the catch? Or is this a situation where better framerates are "free"?

5800x3d is reminding me of the 1080ti. Just one of those once in a generation bangers

[option_n]

The 5800x3d keeps aging like a fine wine. 🥂

[liptonx]

I bought a 5700x3d this year (half the price of a 5800x3d in my country) and it just gets better and better. AM4 is such a wonderful platform.

[carlosguevara]

I run a 7800X3D but the folks who bought the 5800X3D definitely made a smart purchase. what a beast lol

[lil----lil]

Wow...HUGE improvements on the charts... CLEAR, PERTINENT, Uncrowded and easily digested. A BIG THUMB UP!! 👍👍

[J_Gilliam]

I am still proudly running the 5800X3D on a B550 Motherboard! (I mainly play Starcraft II at 4K) But I can't bring myself to upgrade! It has been an insane value!

[Unicornpirate]

This is cementing my 5800x3d as one of the best gaming CPU's of all time.

[kevintaylor]

Ryzen 5xxx cpu system just fine today for gaming. Better gpu, oled screen. Very pleased with 5800x3d. Ftw.

[fern]

I think the 5800 and 5700x3d will go down as CPUs on the same level as the i5 2500k, probably even more legendary. I don't see myself upgrading again until there is another paradigm shift in computing. It's crazy to think that a $100 B450 motherboard from 2018 might last through 3 major GPU upgrades and over a decade.

"older Ryzen CPUs"

Suddenly my 3800X feels vintage...

[Izanagi-Arsene]

i can confirm the 5900x saw an uplift with this update, it may not be a huge one but honestly an uplift with no impact on performance or thermals is much welcome. the other thing to account for is of course some engines or the game themselves were programmed to have a hard cap on the framerate and it will not allow them to go a frame beyond that.

[bigdaz]

Damn, we used to have to upgrade our Motherboard + CPU, even memory at times with Intel for almost 10 Years to see a 5% bump in performance, now we getting more than that with just Windows sorting out some of their Funked up Code.

[Kvantum]

What about the 5900X and 5950X? Curious about how the updates impact 2x CCD chips.

[snipeyboi]

the thumb line looks so fun, I love it :D

[knotsable]

A comparison vs windows 10 would be nice

[ineedyoutostop]

Wow, really liked this format. Super short and concise, straight to the point and informative!

[john]

5800x3d is the 1080ti of CPU’s. So glad I have one. Thinking the 4090 will last for a couple generations too.

[billdagoe]

Still very happy with my 7950X and RTX3800 12GB. Anything over 60FPS is just frosting on the cake for me with my 28" 4K 60Hz monitor. Great review!

[Pezturbator]

I just built a Ryzen 5 3600 system with parts i have lying around and id love to see the performance improvements with this new update. Gonna pair it with a 5700xt

[Oi]

ive been using a ryzen 7 1700 since it came out with the same 120 aio for 8 years and its still going strong
