Upgrading From a Ryzen 7 3800x to a Ryzen 5800x3d CPU | Is It Worth It?

a cpu test in.. 4k?? normaly you'd want to REMOVE the GPU bottleneck from a test like this but okay

I thought your supposed to be testing the cpu not the gpu, there is no load on thr cpu in 4k as we can see its all on the gpu

Hi, Have you RX 6750 XT run with RX 3800X or not? If you have please review, thank you.

I currently game on a 5800x3D, and my son is using my old 3700X. I have absolutely no regrets and my CPU keeps up with my 7900XTX just fine.

The prices have lowered to the point where if you are starting completely from scratch, it is more reasonable to go to AM5 and the 7800x3D.

If you have an AM4 motherboard though, it's still better to go with the 5800x3D or the Microcenter 5600x3D.

You are one of the few that realizes AM4 is still the way to go.

doesn´t make sense to test cpu`s in a scenatio where the gpu is the limiting factor. reduce settings and resolution until your gpu clearly shows that your cpu is the bottleneck otherwise this is pointless

Would be an even better upgrade for those using 1440p or 1080p and want higher fps in shooters

As soon I saw that testing will be done with 3080 in 4k I understood that GPU will be the bottleneck

the thing here is just better upgrading the gpu

Hi, i need help with the nr2003, when i click "drive" my game just close and i cant play, someone can help me?

Went from a 3600 with a dying memory controll to a 5800x3d... Even tho i play at 4k my 1% lows and stutters are non existent

clueless

I just swapped my 3600X for the 5800X3D and saw a clear bump in frames in the CPU-heavy game I am currently binging (X4: Foundations.) Pretty sure this and the RTX 3070 will hold me over for at least 4-5 more years. I may keep an eye on higher end team red graphics cards in the meantime.

I went with the 7800x3d AM5 5 Months now from this posting and prices have dropped so it's only to be seen after the new case shows up and I build it

I recently upgraded from a 3700x to a 5700x, and I found your comparison very interesting. I know you are a small channel. So I certainly appreciate your hard work. One suggestion though. Either keep your hands off of the small table you are using, or try filming on a more stable surface. I was starting to get dizzy from the shaking, lol. Keep up the great work.

Any benefit swapping a 5900x to a 5800x3d with

3090ti
32gb 3600mhz ram

5760x1080 triples
1920x1080 for streaming/telemetry

I'm also looking into upgrading. So I've got a GIGABYTE B450 AORUS ELITE + 16 GB 3200Mhz Ram + Ryzen 7 3700x + Geforce 3080. I'm also getting like 90-110 fps in warzone at the moment which is not ideal as I play competitively. I also get choppy frame rates in some other titles. I also work in Unreal 5, Unity and Blender as I'm a n00by dev. Do you guys think upgrading to a 5800X3D + 4080 + 32 GB 3600Mhz Ram will give me significant increases in performance or will the 4080 bottleneck the CPU? Or should I just get the CPU and the RAM? Perhaps look at the Ryzen 9 5950x?

Yes you did, 8 cores to 8 cores. Should have gotten 12.

This video has sold me on the upgrade (currently running the 3800X as well). As you said, can't predict the future but I think it's worth it.

No way its a waste of money when you can use the same componentes you were using with your previous CPU. It's a giga cheap huge upgrade, and in the future when you change you're GPU it will still be a great CPU. I just bought it for 299€ and i'm literally using the exact same components i was using with my 3600x. i went from 90fps average in Warzone 2.0 to 160fps, and now the GPU is bottlenecking (i have an RTX 3070), which i'm fine with. when i change GPU in the future, i wont need another CPU, plus i didnt have to change motherboard, ram, cooler, or anything. If you have an AM4 based PC getting the 5800X3D CPU is the cheapest best upgrade you can do without a doubt. 299€ and it feels like i have a new PC.

3080 isn’t enough to see how good the 5800X3D’s performance jump

Thanks for the vid! Was looking if it's worth the upgrade for music production (requires high single core performance).

Would you think this is the right upgrade (coming from a 3800x) or should I perhaps even look into getting the 5950x?

You do realize that thr higher resolution doesnt show cpu testing well.

Should have done 1080 and 1440 too

I upgrade from 3700x to 5800x3d and big difference due to the face I bought a 4070 and old stuff kept my 4070. Just changing cpu I so big difference.

Microcenter is having a limited run of the Ryzen 5 5600X3D for $229. These are 6 core cpu's that are pretty much bad yields of 5800X3D's so other than the lower core count, its the same CPU. So if you're in the market for an upgrade and close to a Microcenter, its worth looking into

This is not really a good representation of the 5800X 3D. It is way faster than the 3800x, but it is not showing at 4K because of GPU bottleneck.

Just upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 to 5800x3d and there was a huge improvement towards playing on 1440.

Why are you shaking so much?

Thank you for including Iracing!!!!! It definitely is one of the most demanding and NO ONE includes it when comparing cpu or GPU’s.

Testing games at 4k, you are often going to be gpu limited, rendering the test useless

At 1080p the difference would be ridiculous, i'm talking about 60% and more fps

You are either insanely GPU bottlenecked to have these results OR you did something wrong.

Microcenter has bundles with CPU, RAM and motherboard on AM5 for $500. Not sure when you checked prices or what exactly you were looking at but $824?

I upgraded from a 3700X to the 5800X3d just last year. There was quite a jump in results. More than happy with the upgrade.

Thanks for including rpcs3- you've convinced me to bite the bullet and upgrade my 3700x. Looking forward to pairing this with my new 6800xt gpu.

Hey i have a x3900 and a 4070, is better i upgrade to 5800X3D?

This is an excellent video other than the issue with your benchmarks. Look at your GPU usage in the overlay, it should be well under 80/90 percent in order to completely remove the GPU from the equation and get meaningful data. Next time simply drop the resolution down to 1080P and it will induce enough bottleneck to get useful results. Your results here don't tell us anything cause your entirely GPU bound. Other than that, keep up the good work.

I mainly run emulators and vr racing and fight sims, so i sof probably upgrade my 3700x. What performance monitoring software are you using? I tried msi Afterburner but it doesn't look as clean as yours.

Perfect video, I play similar games including iracing and motorstorm and was just thinking about upgrading from 3800x to 5800x3d lol. Thanks!

I think I'll pass on the upgrade myself, and go to AM5 when it has to be.

Good luck on the mustache; I believe in you!

Modern games are still made on old engines focused on single and dual cores mostly, so having strong single cores is key. BUT game devs often work under conditions where they are forced to cut corners in the optimization process. And those unoptimized chunks of data are easier to compute when having large L3 caches. We see a lot of titles being published without being fully optimized and I think this "trend" will continue.
Another advantage of upgrading to a 5800x3d might be a tight long-term focused upgrade path. What I mean is, if u currently play on 1440p and u wont upgrade pretty much anything in the next years, squeezing every drop out of ur system, then u surely will have a solid performance boost with the 5800x3D when playing on lower resolutions, since it becomes super CPU bound the lower the res.
I personally think about upgrading from a 5600g wich is basically a 5500. I dont expect big gains in most modern titles in 1440p (except for Star citizen....huuuge gains), but I wanna keep the 1% lows in check, have some longevity in my system and I dont wanna have to replace the whole system. + this CPU is really cheap in terms of Power draw and it totally pays off within a fairly short time, dependant on what ur electricity prices are (unless ur CPU only needs like 60w like my 5600g 😅 ).
So if u wanna keep most of ur current gaming oriented hardware for 1-2 or more generations, Im pretty sure this CPU is a very solid pick and will keep your system competetive for quite some time.
I just cant imagine buying an intel CPU for almost 3 times the money, 3 times the power consumption, some more performance but no intergenerational support for the socket. So props to AMD for releasing this amazing CPU, which u can boost your almost 10 year old system with and still stay super competetive in all gaming oriented categories.

The issue I have seen with IRacing is it’s more cpu bound then anything. Even with a 3080 it didn’t seem to upgrade in the fps department from my 2060. It might not be running at 100% but it still is limited by it so that’s why it’s a crazy increase

Your little table is drunk, looks very funny!

Its crazy how fast technology moves, i'm still on R7 3700x (Zen 2) when Zen 5 is coming soon. I'll probably upgrade to Zen 4 and call it a day. The annoying part is getting a new motherboard and DDR5 Ram but i suppose its a meaningful upgrade that'll last years.

is Ryzen 5800x3d still ok with stock cooler ?

You're bouncing as you speak, while shaking the counter with the boxes on... Feels like my eyeballs are shaking. WZ2 also has a synth benchmark in the menu

Would it be good to buy a RTX 3060 12GB graphics card for R7_3800x for 1080p/1440p gaming? thanks for the answer. I have more points in CiNEBENCH 20 Single Core - 524 Multicore - 5006

His video card is the problem, he's testing at 4K. He's bottlenecking at the GPU.

My current specs: RoG Crosshair VI Hero X370, 3700x, 16GB (2x8GB) 3200 memory, RoG Strix 5700xt, and my monitor is 49" Samsung CHG90 3840x1080p.

I've only recently considered upgrading after playing the Diablo 4 open beta and realizing my rig is literally the requirements for HIGH settings. Realizing 16gb ram is also not enough anymore either. I considered the 5800x3d, 6950xt, and 16gb of ram, but after seeing the benchmark videos across the board, I think I can still hold off until the fall if not until next year.

What I did do is buy another 2x8Gb of the same Ram kit.
I now got 32GB DDR4 3200 @ 3466mhz, 4+ years worth of bios updates, Undervolt and OC my RoG STrix with the best profile for the best performance with lowest Temps, and I activated Smart Access Memory.

Now I'm good for the next open beta on May 12th-14th. Depending on how my machine runs will determine if I need to shell out the money or wait.
