What can one say first about this beast from AMD.
Purchased in August 2024 for 400 euros, and so far it hasn't lagged anywhere. Easy to cool, doesn't need anything crazy. Combined with a 7800XT, and I play at 1440P.
The CPU is a beast, bought it for 329 before the price went up to 500+. It has been paired with a 7900xtx, it simply doesn't struggle anywhere now for the price it's being sold at this moment, just waiting for it to drop.
The processor is a BEAST. It doesn't need any overclocking or anything, I play everything on high/ultra and it doesn't even reach 65 degrees with a simple air cooler costing 50 euros. The ONLY downside is its price, it has gone up again and you can't find it for less than 600 euros. Don't get me started on the 9800x3d which is over 1000 euros in our country... Good luck guys finding a processor at a reasonable price.
The processor is not rumored to be the best for heavy gaming for no reason. Its price is crazy right now, but the demand is also crazy... Anyway, its pros are: 1) Bulletproof. It doesn't lag anywhere and makes everything look like a game. 2) It is a processor that doesn't consume much power despite its performance. There at AMD, they have done a really great job on optimization. I believe it is the sweet spot for a processor. The best processor, even if you find it used here on the site, just get it right away.
As much as you can get the 9800x3d because it costs 1000+ euros... here you will find the best processor for gaming that you might need. It is overkill even for 4090. You don't need anything more. Throw it a good water cooling and it will last you 7 years...
The king of gaming. With excellent consumption, moderate to OK thermals. I come from a 13700K and it really is night and day. A one-way street for 3D in gaming. The price is a bit steep but it's worth the money. Waiting for the 9800X3D though because if it has better thermals, I will prefer it.
Married with AORUS B650M Elite AX and 6000MTs30CL memories, it runs flawlessly.
Good processor but AMD has problems with the graphics drivers mainly. I don't know if they will show up with the processors as well. Anyway, I recommend AMD processor and Nvidia graphics card.
It's a shame to evaluate a product based on the current demand/supply and not its performance. I bought it for 290€ from Skroutz. For those of you commenting on the price now, what did you expect? For it to drop to 100 euros? Why didn't you evaluate each of the graphics cards that two years ago were 1500 and now barely reach 200? Anyway, the processor is not vfm in terms of price at this moment. I have combined it with 32GB CL30, Arctic 3 360, and B650 Steel Legend. At idle, it is currently at 32-34 in a 24-degree air-conditioned room, and in gaming, I haven't seen it go above 55-57. In terms of gaming performance, it was tested with the Wukong benchmark on all low 720p, FSR 33, and frame gen off with the 6650 XT to see the difference from the previous CPU (5600X). Both computers were tested under the same settings, which take the load off the GPU and put it on the CPU, hence everything is as low as possible.
- 5600X = 194FPS average, 251 max, 101 min
- 7800X3D = 244FPS average, 293 max, 135 min
Since the announcement of the Ryzen 9000 and the rumors about the Intel 13th and 14th generation, its price has skyrocketed and continues to rise despite its age... what a shame. It has lost its VFM status. Someone who wants a processor NOW to last for years and not just for gaming can look at the i9 13900F (€386) or the i7 14700KF (€380), get a Z970 motherboard, do a BIOS update, and have peace of mind. Otherwise, they should wait...
It is a processor that is worth its money for what it offers. The temperatures are perfect because it is very power efficient with a TDP of 120w, meaning liquid cooling is not necessary (I use air cooling), but you should know that idle Ryzen chips are always a bit warm (usually 40°-50° is the temperature when my CPU is idle). The 96MB L3 Cache (or 3D V-cache as AMD calls it) helps a lot with gaming performance. I believe it is the only processor worth buying for the AM5 platform.
The 7900x3D, 7700x, and 7600x are not as good as this one. The 7950x3D would also be a better choice than the 7900x3D, and I say this because everyone says that the 7900x3D is better than the 7800x3D, but that is simply not true.
If you want a CPU only for gaming, the 7900x3D is not good because it has 2 CCDs, and the 1st CCD is clocked down for the 3D V-cache (this happens in all x3D chips), and it also has increased latency between the 2 CCDs because that is how the chiplet is designed.
One more thing is that the 7900x3D has a 6 core CCD, which means that if you disable the 2nd CCD, it will still perform worse in gaming than the 7800x3D and the 7950x3D because they have 8 core CCDs (the 7800x3D has one CCD and the 7950x3D has 2 CCDs, which means that the increased latency problem is still present in the 7950x3D).
Don't forget that I say this if you want to get a CPU exclusively for gaming and not for work. The 7950x3D would be a good choice for work and gaming, otherwise buy an Intel CPU where you definitely won't face the increased latency issue.
I feel like I had to say this because I don't want people to make the wrong choice for their upgrade, and just not to have others spouting nonsense.
The top processor for gaming, but in my opinion, at this price, spend an extra €30 and buy the 7900x3d. And to preempt you, yes, they have fixed the problem they had with the core parking of the v-cache.
Note 26-9-24
It's tragic that due to the poor release of the 9000 series, the price of the 7800x3d has risen to €450-470. A month ago, you could find it for a maximum of €350. Unfortunately, this happens when there is no competition and AMD is playing ball on its own.
The best processor for gaming clearly, with an RX 6800XT that I have paired, it delivers incredibly high FPS at 1080p. In Forza Horizon 5 on extreme settings and of course with FSR 3.0, it easily ranged from 130 to 190 fps. I didn't have much time to test it, but compared to the workstation I have with Ryzen 9 5900X, the difference is chaotic in games.
EDIT 11/2024 As long as its price was at 360 euros, it was a no-brainer choice. Now at 500, it’s not worth it. For gaming, it’s a beast, but in rendering and workstation tasks, the 5900X wins hands down.
The processor, purchased at the end of June, is very fast (really very fast) and does not reach high temperatures. For example, in Ghost Recon: Break Point as well as in Wildlands, everything on ultra, the temperatures range from 63 to 75 degrees. In IDLE state, the average is at 53 degrees Celsius and all this during August with room temperature consistently above 32 degrees and many hours of gaming.
I believe you won't have trouble keeping it "cool," provided you have a relatively cool case as well.
The cooler I have installed is the DeepCool AK500S DIGITAL and it is more than sufficient.
A very good purchase but its price is somewhat steep.
One of the best for gaming, but for those looking at this price, in my opinion, add another 20 bucks and get the 7900x3d, identical performance, but more cores, more 3D Vcache, better overclocking ceilings.
Edit 11/12/2024.. don't even come close to these prices. Anything above €380 is price gouging.
One of the most powerful CPUs on the market. Honestly, even the integrated GPU was enough to run various games at very good resolution and fps. I highly recommend it. With a good 240mm liquid cooling, it does not exceed 60-65 degrees (July month).
One of the best gaming CPUs on the market, it is a one-way street for anyone interested solely in gaming. Stock with settings for the memory to run at the advertised speeds, it achieves a score of 18500 in cinebench R23 and reaches 87c, in gaming it reaches up to 67c in the summer.
There are no words for this processor. Beast!!! Honestly, if AMD manages to maintain the clocks of the 9700x in the next 3D, there will be no competition from Intel. Even now, in multicore benchmarks, it is only 5% behind the 7700x. You can go for budget cooling and motherboard options without any issues, I personally put it in an Asus b650e-f for the PCIe 5.0 on the card (when that comes), and to be ready for an upgrade to a more power-hungry variant in the future on the AM5 platform. I would recommend undervolting to everyone, up to the point where your chip goes. Personally, I see 5.05GHz with curve optimizer-30 all core. 5 stars and 100% recommended for everyone.
Beast. In August, the Zen 5 generation is rumored to be coming out. Even so, for medium to heavy use, it is very powerful. Up to 2k, it's worth investing in the 7800x3d if you want it purely for gaming. Above 2k resolution, the 7600x does a commendable job without having big differences in FPS.
AMAZING!!! I did some settings to get even more performance like PBO Curve Optimizer All Cores Negative 30.
I cool it with a Liquid Arctic Freezer III 360.
Gaming temperature 50-60.
Cinebench r23 79.
After ten years with the 4770K and combining it with Asus rog strix x670e-e and G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32GB) 6000 It runs flawlessly at very good temperatures without sacrificing performance after undervolt
Ideal for gaming. It does not overheat after long hours of use or if you push it hard. After many years, it was the processor that forced me to switch to AMD. If you combine it with the Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6 Nitro+ graphics card, then you will enjoy games on your computer to the fullest.
From 5800X to 7800X3D with GPU 6950XT. Some games gained +20-40 fps, others almost none. However, ALL are smoother with better 1% lows. It is an incredible experience. At 340 that I bought it, it is very good value for money. At 400 that it currently plays, I would go for 7600 unless you have a very high-end PC.
Indeed one of the best processors purely for gaming, if not the best, competes and comes with a very small win with i9 14900k in gaming benchmarks (the 3d vcache memory works wonders especially for games especially if the SAM function is activated). At the 403 euros I got it, I believe it is a normal price compared to what it offers. With a lot of dedicated time to bios settings, it runs very stable with curve optimizer -26 all cores and soc voltage manual at 1.12 with expo 2 enabled 6000Mhz corsair vengeance ram CL30 without errors tested with prime95 and cpu bench stress test. In collaboration with an Asus TUF RX6950XT GPU, it does not particularly struggle at 4k 60fps at ultra on the latest titles (although 4K will rarely be played in my opinion). Of course, here we are talking about more stress on the GPU than on the processor. My motherboard is the ASUS TUF Gaming b650m plus wifi. Its consumption is literally unbelievable up to 45 watts in gaming and up to 89 watts in full load. Its temperatures at idle are 40 to 46 degrees in windows, 55 to 65 in gaming and 75 to 82 in full load and all this without intake fans, only 3 exhaust, of which 2 are AIO, because I am waiting for them to come .... For multitasking and video editing I have no opinion.
Edit: I found out after regular tests that the "weak" core in my case is the 4th one so it runs with co -20 and all the others -40. Final settings without errors after 3 hours in prime95 with small fft. Locked clock in games at 5050MHz. Cinebench r23 18649 score. Temperatures at idle 35 to 40, in gaming 50 to 58 and full load up to 80 with room temperature 21 degrees. Soc voltage 1.20
I think it is the best for gaming. I have liquid cooling and I have never seen high temperatures in general. I play for many hours during the day due to a lot of free time. I built a new computer and I can say that it works well with everything. With the old system, I had issues with black screens, etc. that required a restart, but with this system, I haven't had any issues so far. Many windows open and nothing freezes.
I switched from Intel 9700k to Ryzen 7800x3d and the difference in FPS is noticeable! Temperatures are very good with Noctua NH-12A. I recommend it if you want a good processor for gaming.
