Thank you for this video. We all make mistakes, but not everyone has the honesty and integrity to admit it and fix it.

I picked up a 5800X3D a few weeks ago as an upgrade from a 3600. It’s a huge gaming upgrade. Im lucky that I have a 3090 to unleash, but there are a lot of quality of life things the 5800X3D helps with, such as loading times and general performance in most apps.

Thanks for admitting to and correcting your number. I'm going to stay the 5800x3d world with my new computer build, as I don't think I'll need anything more ever, or for a very long time at least.

I actually just switched from the 5900X to the 5800x3d and everything feels smoother and I fully saturate a 7900 XTX in 4K ultra

A man willing to admit an honest mistake, gets my vote of confidence any day of the week. Just found your channel, and I think this experience teaches many lessens to both you and viewers that hist the same or similar snag thinking the CPU is underwhelming.

I upgraded from a 5800X to a X3D with my extremely overclocked 6800XT(waterblocked, liquid metaled, EVC2SE overvolted max frequency) and in games like MWIII2023 I went from 170-215 fps to 230-350fps in most games my old high is my current low and the new highs are much higher. in the few games that gain no upper fps, they stabilize the lower framerates, makes everything smoother. was well worth the upgrade.

just checking out random reviews and came accross your channel this video got you another sub! Honest review and well presented sir!

Thank you for your honesty! I am looking to buy one and was on the fence as I would be keeping my current motherboard and wasn't sure if I should upgrade both. But I can update my BIOS for this CPU to work with it and seeing these numbers, seeing so many people happy with it has made me want it!

Wishing your channel growth!

just subbed because of this "revisit" video, you deserved more sub my guy.

Upgraded this week from a 3600 to 5800X3D. Wow what an difference. I recommend anyone with this CPU do some undervolting. It can get you lower temps and higher performance at the same time.

Great video. So glad I bought the 5800X3D, i need to remember that part you mentioned about kombo strike in my msi bios

I picked up a 5800x3d a month ago for $298 usd, and upgraded from a 3900x. I sold my 3900x to a friend for $150 and now I just need to upgrade my 2080 super.

3D v-cache is the real deal. Glad you retested and saw the light.

Great follow up video 👌

Great video ! I'm looking to upgrade for the 5800X3D once I'll have enough cash to buy a new gpu around the performance of a RTX 3090Ti/4070Ti. I think for 1440p it's going to be an awesome combo. I love how humble you are in that video, it shows great maturity from your part. Wish you the best in the future mate !

Just got a sub! nice vid, baby!

I finally upgraded to one and I’ve been loving it!

Just bought it as an upgrade from my 3600. Will probably be able to use it for the next 3/4 year with 1440p gaming

Great video & info !

The AM4 platform still has at least 2-3 years of relevance left in it for gaming.

Upgrading to a 5800x3d from a 7700k so hoping to see some improvements! Only thing Im not certainon is undervolting on an asus dark hero 570x board..

If you run the tests again with the resolution and graphics settings at their lowest possible values, you'll see even larger performance deltas between the chips. This is an *actually* proper CPU/system ram gaming benchmark that >99% of reviewers fail at, likewise a proper GPU gaming benchmark is at the highest possible resolution and graphical settings which >99% of reviewers also fail at. KZfaq PC component reviewers are a truly inept bunch, although you're clearly on the much better side of things thanks to this presentation.

Thanks for your honesty. That's why we love ya, bro! I just bought a 7 5800X3D and am now very glad that I did!

Came here for purchase validation. I wasn't disappointed. Thank you. 🙂

I got the 5800x3d over a year ago now (from the 5700x cpu,) for $325USD. At the time I had a RTX 3070 gpu, and the results for 1440p gaming were extraordinary. This year, I got the RTX 4080 gpu, and the results are mind-blowing. For instance, in "Halo Reach" in settings, there's an option for "unlimited FPS", and I saw a 1,000 plus FPS at certain points, with the average being 300-600!! Yes, I am on a AM4 platform (MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard), but for what I use my computer for, which is primarily web-browsing, KZfaq and gaming, I don't see the need to upgrade to AM5, because as you mentioned, it is pricey (not that the RTX 4080 isn't..lol!). Thanks for the video.

what setting do you use in bios settings? for normal daily use and gaming. pbo on auto ? or enable ? when you use pbo2 ? i am on master aorus x570s with bios F5 and 5800x3d. or you put it both and in bios and pbo2 ?

Always happy to see people admitting to the error of their ways, and correcting them! Great character trait, and can only applaud it! I'm Looking into Frankensteining my PC a bit do to lack of spendable income, and looking for info like I was building it from zero... semi clueless. Got a Crosshair VII (wi-fi) which supports this CPU, but probably not ideal for it just like it isn't for my msi 5700xt GPU, hence me being a bit conflicted, if I should just stick with my Ryzen 2700X CPU OC-d with the 16GB 3200MHZ CL14 rams in this current form for now.. Or replace the 2700x with a 5800x3D in this set up.. Or Leave it as it is and save up for a new Board, faster ram, and the 5800x3D.. Any suggestions, maybe?

Thank you, is nice to see international viewpoints. Also was curious what is the current cost and availability of electricity in your area?

The X3D shines in VR too. Frametime is king in VR (and lots of VRAM) and the 5800X3D slays it. Also very good in racing and flight sims. I play VRChat in full body and racing ACC and other sim racing titles every week. The ONLY reason I don't have this CPU is that I already own a gold sample 5800X. Will probably get it anyways tbh. $301 on AMZ rn.

Great video, really learnt alot form this video. Now I'm certain I would need to upgrade my CPU to 5800X3D. I rock a RTX 4080 with the Ryzen 1700x CPU. Been saving up to buy a CPU ever since. Been thinking if I should get the 5900X but from what you've shared its clear if I need to make maximum use of my RTX 4080 I should upgrade to the 5800X3D. I wonder if I can bottleneck the graphic card. I want to make maximum use for the money I've spent on this card.

I just bought a 5800X3D for $263 total and will likely be selling a 5900X and installing it for $260 into a friends prebuilt with a 3900x currently. He does productivity tasks like music creation so it's a good deal for both of us. I only rock a 6900XT at darn near 4k resolution (5120x1440p @240hz) and I cap my frames to 238fps to always stay within the monitors freesync range. I just enabled curve optimizer and first tried negative all core -10 but then tested -15 and I get almost max boost on all cores during C23 multicore test. My score went up by around 600 points as well. I don't want to push it on voltage reduction as generally starving electronics of voltage isn't a great idea because it then stresses them as they pull more amps to compensate. So I'm thinking -15 is as far as I want to push it.

I just upgraded to the 5600x. Looking to get a Rx 6800 gpu upgrade as well. Great video as always

I paired my 5800X3D with a EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080ti and totally loved my results, that is after I did a mild under volting tweak...Only problem with this build ended up being that I had originally bought an MSI MAG Coreliquid 360mm AIO to cool the 5800X3D CPU and that AIO was then recalled due to clogging issues so, I went ahead and replaced the recalled MSI AIO with a Lian Li Galahad 360mm AIO which has also been recalled for clogging issues :/

Great work boetie soos altyd, love you.

Great video. Considering going from a 3700x to a 5800x3d, because not currently interested in going AM5. GPU is 2080 (non super) and mostly game on 1440p (144hz monitor), with 16GB 3200 cl16 ram. Do you think the cpu upgrade would be worth it? Mostly playing Warzone 2 at the moment, and even though the opitimization is horrible, struggling to get 100fps with everything turned down. Tyia!

I upgraded to 5800X3D from 3600 and the result was incredible. Much higher 1% and average FPS. I can finally enjoy some old simulator games that was completely unplayable with low fps before. Temp wasn't that high either, I idle in 30-ish range and gaming got to 50-60 degrees. I also stressed test the thing and got low 60s. All of this is still on AM4 and I get to keep everything else as-is

Interesting video. It actually shed some light on what those of us with normal budgets will experience with these types of CPUs. Channels like Linus/hardwareunboxed / etc seem to exclusively test with 6950 XT/4090s which I suspect most of your audience including myself with my 4070 TI do not have. On one hand I get not wanting a GPU bottleneck but on the other hand it doesn't really show what the average consumer will experience but rather the best case scenario for a CPU

Thanks for the vid! I've got 5800x3D and 6800XT. It's been a beast of a combo and I think I can play modern games for the next 5 years on 1440p.

Hi sir if Im building a new system what would be a better option to choose r7 5800x3d or i5 13600k/i7 13700k using it for streaming and workstation

Great review! Question: have you played with 5800x3D undervolting at all? People online suggest using Kombo Strike on MSI motherboards, but there doesn't seem to be many recent videos covering the feature. I'd basically like to get the chip running cooler, but also don't mind a small performance trade off. I'm not sure if Kombo Strike is the best method to achieve this?

Thanks for the video I was very on line weather to purchase the 5800x3d or 5800x

i upgraded to the 5800x3d around the switch to am5, was a good idea. honestly i do this every time i upgrade, before i brought a 4790k when the 6k seires was coming out. only upgraded it 6 months ago. its the best option for most as you dont have to pay the premium for the new stuffa and you get the performance of high end equipment. current rig; 5800x3d with NHD15 (pbo2 --30 all cores), 32gb 3600 cl 16, 6900xt tuf oc - perfection

I was hoping/praying for your review 🙏🏼 Do you think I should upgrade my 5950x? I feel like my CPU is not good for gaming… I’m not sure thou

Would it make sense to upgrade from 2700x to either 5800x3d/5900x when I'm still using 1080ti as GPU? Would I still be limited by my GPU or is there gains to be made?

I can say the 5800X3D with a 7900 XTX is really impressive. I upgraded from a 3080 Ti, and it's stretching its legs. Typically I cap frame rates in different titles, but the 1% and .1% lows are great.

Good video! I'm looking to upgrade from my 3900x and was wondering if I should go with the 5800x3d or the 5950x? I game on my machine and I also do production work (photo/video editing).

Would you recommend me to buy this this cpu for rtx 2070s or rather 7600x if im planning upgrading to better gpu like 4070 or 6900xt? edit: rn im using 1080p monitor but with that future gpu upgrade that im planning i will be buying qhd monitor

I stumbled across your channel by chance and you sir, have earned my subscription. You stand alone, unlike all the big boys with their millions of subscribers, who refuse to admit that AM4 and the 5800X3D is alive and well. That the emperor with no clothes or should I say the waste of money that AM5 boards, RAM and CPU's currently are, has yet to prove its worth to the average gamer.

I upgraded from the 1080ti to the RX 6800, current CPU 3900x but planning on buying the 5800X3D next month I do music production as well as gaming. RAM 32GB 3600mhz 2x 2tb 980 Pros

I'm running my 5800X3D with 3600 CL 14 (I honestly see better performance IN SOME THINGS with the CL14 but what I'd like to see is how CL 14 and the enhanced cache impact SAM performance with AMD cards, too, because I think that might be where it really is since the latency is less important for X3D). I'm using a 6700 XT and those frametimes graphs are nice and smooth. Great vid :)

Good video. Thanks.

The day I got this CPU from my friend for $275 was a gift. I replaced my 7 3700x and it was great paired it with my RTX 3070. Then I undervolted it with a -30 on all cores and it's just crazy how good this CPU performs. I think it's a great mid tier 1440p gaming CPU.

I’m so glade I upgraded to this chip a month ago an I also got a x570s Aorus elite ax to go with it an I already had a asus tuf gaming Rtx 3060 ti an it’s not bad

I just bought it from Takealot for R7399, let's hope i did not make a mistake. my plan is to pair it with my RTX3060ti for now, my plan is to get the 7900xt in December.

First of all, my friend, it's respect for you. Admitting your mistakes is the right thing to do.

Build my PC in 2020 with these specs. MOBO: x570s Aorus Master CPU: Ryzen 3700x GPU: ROG Strix 3080 OC PSU: Corsair RM850x RAM: G.Skill 32g (4x8) 3600mhz AIO: Corsair icue H150i RGB PRO XT 360mm I built that around the time the 3080 came out and just months before AM5 released. I don't regret it at all, the build has been absolutely golden for me. Recently upgraded to the 5800x3D chip as the first major upgrade to this system. I expect it to last me 3-5 years before I need to upgrade the CPU again. I'll probably end up getting a new GPU in 3 years though, maybe when the 5080s or 6080s drop. I'm told the 5800x3D runs hot. My AIO can handle it apparently as I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 at full ultra settings and both CPU and GPU didn't go over 70-80 degrees.

I just purchased the 5800X3D upgrading from my 3600 hoping the upgrade is worth it, I decided to stay on the AM4 platform as like you said above the cost of DDR5 and new motherboards cant justify the cost. I also upgraded my 1080Ti to a 4070 but knew something wasnt quite right with the performance, hints why I decided to upgrade the cpu as well even though in most of the games I play they are GPU intensive rather than CPU intensive.

I just upgraded from a 3600x to a 5800x3d. It arrives tomorrow. I was getting serious buyers remorse - always do - so I’m going on a video binge to justify my purchase, and these videos are making me feel somewhat better that it’s a chip I can use for 3 years at least. AM5 is just too expensive rn as gaming isn’t my only hobby, so hopefully it’s a good upgrade for possibly even longer. I play a lot of games like Arma, Total War, Paradox Games mostly Heart of Iron, Bannerlord, Stalker GAMMA modpack, all which have a lot going on with NPC counts or are CPU focused, so that thought is helping me deal with this crippling anxiety I get every time I upgrade.

Is it worth to upgrade from a 5800x to x3d? Just for gaming

Hey sir iam a little late but i just got my 5800x3D and my Gigabyte 4070 Gaming OC is it good to pair it with Aorus b450 Elite ? thanks !!

i bought this thing and its been such a beast, i put my 5950x in my video editing pc and this thing went into my gaming pc and its been running great for every game at 3444x1440 max settings

Why did you turn down the Graphics presets to medium etc.? There are plenty of games that have CPU-dependent detail settings. In case of the X3D Chips that can make a difference, because besides the larger cache they also have lower clockspeeds. The ideal way to eliminate GPU Bottlenecks would be a custom resolution of 16x9 pixels. You should choose the highest possible detail settings and the lowest possible resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio. I have been using custom resolutions for this occassionally. Only changing the field of view (for example by changing the ar) has an impact on the CPU.

I have a 5950x and have a 4090. Thought because I do art also the 5950x would help but im not sure. Maybe I should drop down to 8 cores 16threads? Idk if the 16cores 32threads helps art or not. I also used to stream on this pc but now I have dual pc so less need the 5950x. Some thoughts would be awesome

You’ll get better than just more views if you correct your errors in this way, you’ll get kudos. Kudos is yours.

hey how are your junction temps on the msi 6900xt? i have the same card, well X variant. at 280W my junction temp hover around 90c while my average temp is 55-60c. was wondering if you have similar issue as it is known problem with the msi 6800/6900xt. also OC to 313W it jumped as high as 114.

First video I have seen from this review. I really enjoyed the honesty and shows how good the 5800x3d is with the new gen gpus. I’m currently rocking a 5900x and 7900xtx. I’m thinking of changing to 5800x3d as I don’t want to change to new gen.

so I'm new to upgrading my pc and was going to get this chip so what is a good mother board and gpu for it I have air cooling as well so i just want it to work with no problems cause my pc is shitting out now and I use new egg to get all my parts this will be my last upgrade for a minute and my spending is probably gpu wise stuck at 3070

Great video. 👍And heads up. It's less "an error" from your side, but just shows the unprecedented performance range gear can offer these days, once you step above a performance level that exceeds "bare necessity level". And unintentionally, but gladly, you even showed another intersting thing i missed on other channels: If you look close on the Ryzen 3800XT - even that profits from a 3070 -> 6900 XT swap - and is on perfectly enjoyable performance levels. With either gfx card. Cool, because: Gone are the times where you were literally forced to upgrade every 1-2 years, or overclock the bat-sh*t out of stuff, to stay above the "barely enjoyable" level, and be exited to get 5 FPS more, to be finally >60 FPS. "Can it run Crisis?" 😅 Because: fast forward another year - guess what a 5800X3D can do, paired with a 4090 (and not a "slow" in comparison 6900XT)? Yep, add the gains from your og review to these results - another time on top of it. Best combo i ever bought. Seriously. Since 40+ years of fiddling with PCs. Framecap / g-sync it to your display (144 & 165 in my case) - and enjoy it never dipping below "buttery smooth" in any setting or resolution PLUS enjoy less power consumption than my GTX1070 from yester-yester-year in anything but the most demanding titles. The 5800X3D is strong enough to actually tickle & drive the 4090 to reasonably high % of usage (and thereby is actually, noticeable, a lot real world faster than slower cards like 4080, 7900 etc.). And at the same time, the 4090 is far from maxed out by even a 14900k or a 7800X3D. Which means: I can enjoy years of blistering performance in any game or application, even those not even published yet, with high/ultra settings/real nice eye candy, on a super-mature, stable and troublefree AM4 platform. With an awesome 64GB 3600 ddr4 kit, multiple NVMEs... ample reserves in any respect. So not missing anything, while easily waiting for AM5 to mature, likewise Intel to come up with some new trick. My Strix 4090 oc (and it's 600w power limit) can & will still profit from a 15/16900K or 8800X3D or Zen6 - likewise vice versa a 5090 or better - in case i feel the urge to get it. So in a nutshell: the 5800X3D, now even well below 300€/USD, is even worth to be considered a good choice for a new build now. It can power any gfx card your wallet can afford, while needing well below 100W when gaming. No matter if AMD, Intel or Nvidia - awesome what they offer, awesome choices&combos possible for any wallet size - great times these are. 👍

how to reach bus speed closer to 100mhz on asus tuf b450? I had 5600 with 99.9 bckl and now 99.8 with 5800x3d...spreads peactrum off

Nice video man. Thank you. Currently running a 3700x with RTX 3080 Ti. Considering upgrading to 5800x3d. Would it be worth it? Is my current CPU bottlenecking? Stay safe :)

I just stumbled across this video, it takes a very good person to admit they did something wrong.

3700X was bottlenecking my RX 6700. Now my RX 6700 is bottlenecking my 5800X3D. I basically bought the X3D because I am not planning on building another computer for a while. My board is 4 years old and has plenty of life left in it. I've basically thrown everything out and started over every 3-5 years for the last 20 years. Progress has slowed to the point Moore's law has become obsolete and PCs are lasting longer. I am thankful it has slowed a bit. I can throw a better card into this machine and I might, but for now it's not necessary. I can run this rig another 4 years as is.

hola, que sería mejor para este procesador: 4x8 ddr4 3600 CL18 ó 2x16 ddr4 3600 CL16 ??

Currently having a 3900X...considering to upgrade to a 5800X3D can't find any comparative test of those two...would it be a good upgrade? Or should I spare money and bounce to AM5 witha 7800X3D ( but MB and Ram is soo expensive >< )

Love the t-shirt! THIS IS SANDPIT TURTLE

What did you do between the old tests and the new tests? I recently upgraded from a 5800x to a 5800x3d and I didn’t get that much of a performance increase (using an rtx 4090 gpu)

im running a 5600x oc 4850ghz i have a 650watt psu, if i switch to 5800x3d will i have to upgrade my psu?

Big respect for being able to admit ya feked up and learned

Would you pair this with a "business" grade motherboard. I.e: one with ECC and AES256 encryption support. Even of the board is an A320i. Or would you chuck it on the way more gamer B450i. The A320i is currently paired with a 3200G and the B450i has a 2600x...

What about temperatures?

What i love about this cpu is that it can run perfectly fine on my cheap b550 asrock mobo i got for 120eur I can keep my ram and play for another few years without doing a whole new platform change Started with a x470 gigabyte aorus mobo(got it used for 70eur) and a ryzen 3 1200 for my basic pc. It provided playable framerates with my then current rtx 2070. Whole system was an open waterloop 2x360mm rads Later bought a ryzen 5 3600X for 180eur for my 144hz 1080p monitor to provide the needed framerates 2 yrs ago i swapped to a B550itx board for a small build and upgraded to a RX6900XT. Same ryzen 3600X now coupled with a fresh gpu, both liquid cooled New strat would be to get a good deal on a 5800X3D. That's a 5yr run on the same platform, same storage, ram etc. Only cpu and gpu changes. Great send off for AM4

Hi , i have rtx 4070 and asus tuf gaming x570-plus motherboard but an older 3700x cpu i want to change. In my country 5900x and 5800x3d have similar price , just for gaming in 1440p what u recomend? thank you very much. Super nice video👍👍👍

Went from 38xt to 58x3d with blocked 68xt. Can concur. Where its fast it's ridiculous. 99% of time playing ACC it just caps my monitor 165hz/1440p Epic, race starts drop by 10-30fps rather than in half.

What was the bottleneck ? I currently have the RTX3070 but it it is walking with a 2700x 😂 that is completely breaking my fps and im looking to upgrade to the 5800x3d . The cpu is going to max out the GPU but that is what you want ?

Did amd over tune this thing?

Switched to 5800x3d for dcs world vr gaming. (Gpu is a 4070ti ichill3x). Oh boy, this cpu is a beast…

much respect for this video

I got a 8700k all core 5ghz. is it worth in october 2023 to buy this cpu?

so meaning this test only works if you turn down the game quality right to make it cpu bound , is that right? that is what i understand

Am I seeing this right but his original test settings were set to high but on retest he lowered the settings down increasing the fps? Can you to the test with the the same graphic settings?

after upgrading to a 6900XT I then upgraded to a 5800X3D to unleash it... I've been happy with the combo

I'm still kind of torn between upgrading my 3900x to the 5800x3d vs the 5900x. This review was in 1080p but I game in 4k so with the 5800x3d still come out on top of the 5900x since it has more cores?

i know you see the error of your ways now, but you used ultra settings? another thing reviewers dont check is the x3d chips really seem to work well in multiplayer games.

So what GPU would you recommend as the minimum to combine with this cpu? I have been looking to upgrade my CPU, but may as well upgrade the GPU while I'm at it (got a 2080 and Ryzen 5 3600)

Looking to upgrade my CPU soon. Currently have a Ryzen 5 3,600. MB is an Asus BM550-C. GPU is a 3050. Thinking of getting a 5900X. Or should I get this 3,800GP? Any advise. Thank you

yeah most places I found discrediting the 5800x3D had a gpu bottleneck anyway so of course you aren't going to get much results, but if you are much more likely to be CPU bottlenecked on a 5800x than a 5800x3D I've found its more rare than common for games to not get a substantial improvement with the x3D variant, which just becomes more substantial as you pair them with more powerful gpus. 5800x3D feeds my 7900xtx very well at almost always a 99% usage, while my 5800x barely got the 7900xtx to hit higher than 80% load and my average and 1% lows suffered for it. which is where the x3D chip shined the most

I passed over this CPU for the 5900x, thought I was making the right choice, but now I'm seeing how good the 3dx cache is. I wish I had gone with it. Next time

why not include 4k benchmarks? i know it is mostly a GPU bottleneck at that resolution but i want to know if it is worth upgrading my CPU if i want to stick with 4k.

I got a 5800x3D and 6800xt coming Friday was wondering if they pair good with ASRock A320M/ac motherboard or should I upgrade ?
