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.
