Amd 5800x3d

FWIW

I have a 5900X so not sure it would be worth the swap. At least until I see significant, and applicable, reviews.

My PC is really just an expensive game-console, with a boat-load of peripherals attached; the power needed to browse the net; watch videos; etc, is well below even a modest sim rig.

This sounds like a good trend, for PC simulation anyway.

DCS VR: Ryzen 5800X3D vs Ryzen 5600X

I’m greedily looking at the X3D because I have the need for more speed. If I dive in I would be migrating from a 3700X. The numbers look promising but I’m not sure if I can justify the extra cost. I may settle for the 5800X and call it a day. Decisions, decisions…

Don’t settle for a different Ryzen 5000. If the cost is too high, just wait till it gets cheaper. It is in a different league than non-3D cache processors for simulators.

Well if your day job is rendering videos or 3D models, or running numerical simulations, then the 5950X is a great CPU. But for gaming, the 5800X3D is simply the best CPU out there, by a large margin. How large that margin is, depends on the game, but simulators can really use that 3D cache. Racing simulators too, but especially flight sims. As we can see in the DCS forums thread I linked to, the performance increase in CPU-intensive DCS scenarios is 30% when coming from a non-3D Ryzen 5000. …

As a 5800X owner, I concur. The 5800X runs too hot as it is. It ain’t bad, but it ain’t a motherlovin’ 5800X3D! That CPU is unbelievable.
