The Gigabyte Gaming 5 did lag behind a little, this time trailing the Asus X370 boards by around 8%, so I'd say Gigabyte has a little optimization work to do here. But the 5800X3D worked without issue, so in the grand scheme of things that's an amazing result on a 5 year old motherboard. Watch Dogs Legion is a CPU demanding game and we see that while the 5600 was 14% faster than the 3600, the 5800X3D is up to 85% faster, pushing the average frame rate for the 6950 XT at 1080p out to 174 fps. Moving on to Cyberpunk, which is a title that's typically GPU limited well before CPU performance becomes an issue, at least when running a modern processor. That said, using the 6950 XT at 1080p saw the 5800X3D race ahead by up to a 55% margin, hitting 171 fps on average.
Based on testing by AMD as of 12/14/2021. Performance evaluated with Watch Dogs Legion, Far Cry 6, Gears 5, Final Fantasy XIV, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and CS:GO. All games test at 1920x1080 resolution with the HIGH in-game quality preset (or equivalent). System configuration: Ryzen 7 5800X3D and AMD Reference Motherboard, Ryzen 9 5900X and ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero with BIOS 3801. Both systems configured with 2x8GB DDR4-3600, GeForce RTX 3080 with 472.12 driver, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, NZXT Kraken X62, and Windows 11 28000.282. R5K-106 Interestingly, the single core performance has dropped by 12% according to the Cinebench R23 results when compared to what we see with the 5800X. That's a large reduction which typically wouldn't bode well for gaming performance, but we'll look at that shortly.
In Cyberpunk 2077, there’s a somewhat marginal performance difference between the two CPUs, with the Ryzen 7 7700X coming out on top again. F1 2022 F1 2021 The 5800X3D does not have "Pro" in the name but is not an APU (it doesn't have integrated graphics), so it does not fall into this category. AMD claims this boosts performance by 15% on average over the Ryzen 9 5900X, which is no small feat. They also claim the 5800X3D is overall faster than Intel's i9-12900K while costing significantly less, so that'll be interesting to look at. In Call of Duty: Warzone, the result is a lot more even, as tends to be the case in less CPU-intensive games. Hitman 3 Hitman 3
However, at 1440p the 7600X was reliably faster, particularly for the 1% lows which averaged out across our runs to be 7% higher. Then at 4K we ran into a hard GPU limitation and all three CPU configurations compared here delivered the same results. We also saw over 70% performance gains in seven of the 23 games tested with most games showing over a 50% uplift, hence the 51% gain on average. We're looking at a 13% increase for the 5800X3D over the 5800X and that places it slightly ahead of the 12900K. The motherboard used for testing is the old MSI B350 Tomahawk using the latest BIOS revision based on the AGESA 1.2.0.7 microcode, which enables Resizable BAR along with support for Ryzen 5000 series processors. Then we have 32GB of DDR4-3200 CL14 dual-rank dual-channel memory, and this same configuration was used for testing all Ryzen processors. AMD’s AM5 platform provides support for up to 2 USB 3.2 ports which provide speeds of up to 20 Gbps. The maximum supported number of 3.1 ports remains at 12, the same as X570. DisplayPort 2Taking all those prices into account we get our entire platform cost which is relevant for those upgrading their platform or building a new PC. In the Cinebench single-core and multi-core tests, the Ryzen 7 7700X comes out on top by a big margin. Blender Open Data Blender There does appear to be a bug with Radeon drivers as they were unable to detect the availability of SAM on 300-series boards, instead reporting that the feature was unavailable. However, it was possible to enable it at the BIOS level and the expected performance uplift was achieved nonetheless, so it is working despite what the Radeon Adrenaline drivers are reporting. Precision Boost Overdrive requires a compatible AMD Ryzen Threadripper, 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processor, or AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processor and a motherboard compatible with one or more of these processors. AMD 2nd Ryzen processors including the Ryzen 3200G processor are not compatible with Precision Boost Overdrive. Because Precision Boost Overdrive enables operation of the processor outside of specifications and in excess of factory settings, use of the feature invalidates the AMD product warranty and may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or retailer. GD-135. AMD's marketing claim is that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is, on average, 15% faster than the Ryzen 9 5900X. The 3D V-Cache doesn't improve performance in all games, so this will vary, but we recorded a 21% increase over the 5900X at 1080p in our test suite, which is incredibly impressive.
When compared to modern budget AMD B550 and Intel B660 boards, you're really not missing out on much. Sure it's PCIe 3.0 only, but that's still fine for gaming and most gamers will be happy with the USB 3.1 Gen 1 support, there's even a type-C and in total the I/O panel features 6 USB ports. There's a single M.2 slot, but again, for gamers this is likely fine, so we'll be very keen to see how this one handles the 5800X3D. Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming [B350] If it’s a mix of gaming and productivity workloads, then it comes down to the buyer whether they want to pay the extra sum for the 7700X for improvement in productivity while staying with the same gaming performance. In other words, it’s a mixed bag. The 13600K was only tested using a single DDR5 configuration as the focus is on that sweet-spot CL16 memory, which was just 2% slower than the ultra expensive CL14 memory. That said, the 6400 memory was 22% faster and that's a massive difference, especially for memory. It's also interesting to note that the 12600K saw just a 16% increase from CL16 3600 to 6400, so the faster 13th gen CPU is doing a better job of justifying DDR5 in this example. We know that selecting the right memory for your PC can be overwhelming, with various factors to consider. When it comes to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor, choosing a compatible memory type that can handle its demands is crucial for optimal performance and reliability. As computer hardware experts, we've evaluated the available RAM options, considering key factors such as speed, capacity, compatibility, and price. Based on our analysis, we'll provide recommendations and weigh the pros and cons of each option to assist you in making an informed decision.Shadow of the Tomb Raider provides another interesting result in the Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Ryzen 7 7700X rivalry, with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D being the better CPU in this game. Rainbow Six Siege Rainbow Six Siege Not to worry, we have included some productivity benchmarks in this review as we're sure many of you want to see how it compares with the 5800X.
