    Yep, it's just another option. 7800x3d if you just game, 7950x3d if you want to game and do workstation type tasks on the same machine and don't care about budget, 7900x3d if you want to do the latter on more of a budget. For $20 more than a...

    I mean, any recent game (last 10 years) won't be able to keep the whole game in cache. If the whole thing fits in it will really fly, but that'll only happen in old games that already are pulling hundreds of fps.

    2d cards, man. I remember my 486dx2 66 had a Boca 2d card, then a Trident svga in my pentium 120 before moving to 3d accelerators. Before that a Tandy 1000 and ibm ps2 which both had built in video. The ps2 was at least vga graphics. That dx2...

    I think the real comparison is with the 7950x3d - which is ahead in games and behind in productivity, by about the same amount each. But at half the power. So if you want both high end gaming and productivity prowess, which do you need more of...

    I agree with him, if you just want to game, get the 7800x3d - he actually says "you probably should just get the 7800x3d" and I wouldn't even say probably. If you just game, don't get the 7950x3d, it's pointless. Actually in that review CS GO...

    You obviously didn't get the sarcasm in there. There is no skill required to get a 7950x3d working properly, but apparently you can't seem to manage it...I'll leave the rest, it's been discussed ad nauseam.

    Damn, didn't realize every single GPU, motherboard and most usb devices I've ever used are fundamentally flawed and need to be baby-sat with software solutions, too. We should all go back to CPU rendering on only hardware that has native support...

    Sure, and 90% are 6+months old. Just like the start of this thread was. And did you also search this? https://www.google.com/search?q=7800x3d+stutter+reddit Again, mostly FUD in here. 7800x3d if you game, 7950X if you work, 7950x3d if you do...

    They do, what are you on about? It's part of the chipset drivers, you have to load them for a 7800x3d system to work optimally, too. What potential performance issues? It outperforms a 7950X in games no matter what. Xbox game bar is installed...
  • B
    I said there's nothing else to troubleshoot. Are chipset drivers installed and game bar enabled. Lots of work there I guess, way more than building 2 systems.

    It is free, there is no measurable performance impact, at least wrt to a 7800x3d, which is marginally slower in games due to lower boost. So even if there is overhead it's less than the speed improvement of the higher clocks. As to...

    There is no babysitting needed, I don't get where this is coming from. For my use, the 7950x3d is superior to either the 7800x3d or 7950X, which is that I game in VR on heavily single thread dependent games and then run 3d photogrammetry and...
  • B
    Yeah, exactly, 7950x3d isn't a gaming chip, it's a gaming+productivity chip when you're ok to trade a little bit of productivity performance for maximum gaming performance. That is a pretty niche market tbh, basically gamers that have hobbies or...

    There are a few glimmers of hope - CP2077 with path tracing really flies in the 7950x3d compared to the 7800x3d, meaning the extra cores help. As we get more path traced and RTX remixed stuff, we may start to see 8 cores bottleneck. A few edge...

    Heat won't let them have high clocks with v-cache, unfortunately. I think your statement gaming wise was true a year ago when the 7800x3d was released but things have moved on from then and most games no longer ccd hop and stay on the vcache die...
  • B
    Why? 7950x3d is kind of best of both worlds, you get 8 cores with vcache but lower clock speed (but higher than a 7800x3d), 8 cores without vcache but higher clock speeds, so it can handle any workload nearly ideally. If you put vcache on all...

    bobzdar replied to the thread 7800X3D new build, help please?.
    Is there not an option for setting the curve based on coolant temp if you build your own loop or does it depend on the pump/controller? I know a lot of AIO's have that option, which makes a lot more sense than transient cpu temp given the fan...
  • B
    I went from a 5800x3d to 7950x3d. I installed latest chipset drivers when doing so, no stutter and improved performance. I mostly game in VR so stutter is usually immediately evident. The 7950x3d cleared up a few frame drops I was getting in...

    It moves loads around from core to core to better distribute heat and allow higher overall boost, that's why you're seeing it loaded even on less than all core loads, but it should run least often on that core.
