Evening bump

Morning bump.

Upgraded a while back, and I kept this around to be a backup for a while. Turns out I need a new roof, so I’m looking to unload a few things. Card is in good shape, and is more or less the same performance as a 3070. PayPal only (or cash if you happen to be local to Nashville, TN). SOLD Heatware

It’ll be a big boost just from the much better architecture of Zen 3. Honestly, I would advise anyone on AM4 that wants a cheap upgrade to pop in a 5800x3d at this point. It’s that good of a cpu.

You’re definitely going to have less of a bump at 4K, but it’s there nonetheless. Even if most games you basically break even, when you do run across a game that likes the cache, the difference can be massive. I have a feeling the 5800x3d is going to go down in the same tier of chips with...

So after a couple days with the 5800x3d in my rig, I’ve been extremely impressed. I’m running 1440p UW and a 4090, and even then the difference has been noticeable. My 2 most played games are WoW and EFT. Both of them are known to benefit from the cache, and it’s nearly a night a day difference...

Selling my 5900x after swapping it out for a 5800x3d. I decided the extra cache was worth more to me than the extra cores. CPU was run with standard PBO settings under a 280mm AIO. Will ship in original box and clamshell. Asking $275 shipped or $250 local cash (Nashville area). Accepting...

Another thing I’ve continually read regarding the 5800x3d is that you have to factor in 1% lows more than just overall fps. Essentially everyone seems to say even games where your average fps is virtually identical to the non-x3d chips, the cache really helps to smooth out the 1% dips, so the...

Been a long time since I posted here, but I came across this thread while researching whether moving to a 5800x3d from a 5900x was worth it at all. Well, the cpu went on sale on Amazon, and I decided to order one. With the current used 5900x prices, it seems like it should be very minimal cash...

I mentioned it in a previous post, but if you missed out on a refurb and still want a CX, make an offer over on Greentoe. Offer the refurb price and you’ll likely get a counter offer for about $100 more or so. That said, there’s also no tax or shipping on GT, so you may even come out ahead of...
