Whenever the 5800x3D is mentioned I think that the undervolting tutorial should be included . -30v on all eight cores has made a huge difference to me. CPU temp is down between 20-30 degrees for me on CPU intensive games and it's performing even better in benchmarks. And is 100% stable.

Went from a 5900x to a 5800x3D (gaming system only). My monitor is 3440x1440p and have it paired with a 3080ti. Overall I feel the system is pretty well balanced and do not have any bottlenecking concerns. My current plan is to skip Ryzen 7000 (even the 3D V-Cache chips), skip RTX4000 and reassess things when the following gen comes out. Time to just enjoy my system for a while rather than be stuck in the never ending upgrade loop in the hunt for more and more FPS.

Dudes couldn't recommend one other gpu, the majority of your viewers can't afford a 4090

People get so obsessed with cpu and gpu bottlenecks but completely forget monitor refresh rates. When I look at cpu benchmarks, any part that is achieving over 240 fps is good for a long time.

Just upgraded from a R9 3900X to a R7 5800X3D for my RTX 3080 and oh my God. Didn't realise how much that older Ryzen 9 CPU was holding me back! I've gained 20- 30 more FPS on PUBG, COD, HALO and Escape from Tarkov on an Ultrawide but it is my minimum frame rate that have shot up dramatically that are the star of the show. Everything is so smooth now. I struggled with Escape from Takove especially and often droped to 45 - 60 FPS. Now I am hovering over 100 FPS most of the time! I still can't believe it. The content on this chanel is absolutely next level...Thanks again Steve and Tim!

Love the nuanced responses as always.

The simple answer to this question is the 3080 or 3080ti or a 6800xt or 6900xt on AMD. This paralysis by analysis is getting old, I expect clarity from from these Youtubers.

There is also the thing that CPU utilization can differ massively between games. Some which use a lot of AI entities can suck up the same CPU totally while in another game it'll be barely used. If you're the type of gamer that plays everything, you're bound to have imbalanced scenarios often. There's no optimization that can work across the board. Resolution has the biggest impact though so decide based on that.

For what is worth (SimRacer here), the comments of FPS requirement is car simulators/games is accurate. I personally use 120fps block on my 144hz panel (I match the refresh rate w/o VSync, of course). Going from 60 to 120 is a HUGE change, specifically to be precise on braking points and markers. Then input latency from 60 to 120 is... ALSO VERY important.

Currently I have a 5800x3D with a 7900 XTX and I can do 200+ fps in games at EPIC settings (ACC for example) and I tried lowering the detail to medium and drive at 300+ fps for a couple of races in some competition environment.

ZERO difference in latency I noted and Zero improvement elsewhere. In fact, I benefit by seeing more detail on the track as a Shadow on the asphalt or a scratch in a wall can better be used as a braking reference. Same for avoiding the trees and far distance cars popping in and out of the image. That distracts you a lot.

So in summary I agree with the "how many fps do you need on a racing game? " comment. Not 'many' is my answer. 60 at minimum. 90-100 is nice. 120-144 is Ideal, anything else is not useful on my personal opinion.

Last note, I dropped my PowerLimit on the 7900 XTX to 90%, the efficiency increase is ABISMAL. At 330w (Aprox) I loose less than 5% of the framerate in Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC)

I went for a 3080 and a 5800x3D. Works so good at 1440p, especially in warzone 2 :) I went from 100-110 fps low settings with the 3700x to 150-190 fps with the 5800x3D with high tuned settings. Very happy about the results!

[waynedoo]

5800X3D + 6900 XT here, I'm happy with the pair.

[maxview]

Exactly why I picked up the 5800x3d a couple months back, upgrade from a 3800x. So when I get a 4080 or 4090 soon I will be set for 4k gaming. I can't be bothered to build a whole new system.

[teemo]

The F1 22 example is also kinda funny since some competetive racers limit their game to 60 because FPS in this game affect the physics and its easier to drive over the kerbs etc.

[MaTtRoSiTy]

I have mine paired with a 4090 but of course I am playing at 4k and I am not a competitive gamer, so I am pretty much constantly GPU bound anyway and I don't think I lose any significant performance

[hkoizumi]

I paired my 5800X3D with my 6800XT. Previously, I had 3600x. I remember on Ghost Recon Wildlands, I was getting 70FPS with 2k Resolution on 3600x whereas after upgrade to 5800x3D, I got close to 144FPS. It was a massive bump. Ever since the upgrade, any graphically demanding game managed to hit 99% on GPU utilization. But on games like RTS game where GPU is less demanding, it hovers aroun 60%. It really does depends on what you play but bottlenecking really does ruin any game.

I have a 5800X (not 3D) paired with an RTX 4080 and I’ve been more than happy with the performance. I prefer to crank all of the graphics settings to max at 1440P and I consistently get over 100 FPS in AAA titles with ultra raytracing enabled and my 4080 is getting a good workout. New games continue to be more and more taxing on the GPU, so I can see my setup being able to play new games at decent settings and 1440P for 5+ years.

I have 5800x3d paired with 3080 10gb, 32gb 3600cl16, x570, 4 gen nvme playing at 3840x1600, absolute beast, -30 all cores curve optimizer, runs very cool and maintaines max boost clock nearly constantly. Since I installed it I noticed 100% gpu usage in most of my games. I can highly recommend purchasing it when you on am4

[RMKFfm]

At this point I consider upgrading to a 5800X3D the best option.
GPU prices are just ridiculous in germany anyway and switching to AM5 still costs more than buying a 5800X3D.

Nice video HUB. Also an interesting point to consider GPU and CPU bottlenecks are not equal. A significant CPU bottleneck often delivers erratic frame times with large FPS drops and gives a horrible inconsistent animation experience in a game. Reaching a GPU bottleneck only slightly effects frame times and often gives a far more enjoyable and smooth animation experience in games.

So a tip to the audience if you hit CPU limits before GPU then try to put a FPS cap in place a little below the CPU limit to keep the experience smooth and consistent for your game play.

To start with, I had a asus b550f mb, r7 3800x cpu, asus rx6800xt, 32g of Corsair ram, 1to nvme gen3. All stock, no updated bios, I would reach 80/90fps in Asseto Corsa Competizione on my 2560x1440 monitor. After updating bios to latest version, was able to switch on SAM and it gave me 110/120 fps. Now that I upgraded and switched my 3800x for the 5800x3d, I reach 220/230 fps max with a solid 144 suited to my 144hz screen. What a beast! And a damn good optimization too !!!
