Ryzen 7 5800X3D

[...] AM4 still has some solid options out there, the 5800x3d has 3d vcache and would be an insane upgrade over any… quad core? [...] I understand the sucky feeling that you’re sidegrading instead of investing in a new beastly rig for a reasonable price- believe me I’ve been in the same boat since all this GPU bullshit started. [...] The 5800x3d released a year prior to the CPU I picked up. [...] The 3dvcache on AMD CPUs is a crazy, crazy boost- in addition to the fact that modern CPUs are already bounds and leagues ahead of 2016, and I would go to bet that even if it’s technically a sidegrade, you probably wouldn’t feel too horrible about the money spent. [...]

I swapped to Bazzite on my gaming rig (5800x3D, 64gb DDR4, 4080 Super 16gb) and it's been fantastic. [...] Immutability in OS updates is also something I didn't know I needed until I experienced it on Bazzite; pretty advantageous as a gamer using Linux with nVidia hardware these days. [...]

[...] I got the rt kernel, made a few things to audio priority, fiddled with governors, but no luck. [...] Maybe this 5800X3D needs a buff up...

I went from 2700 to 5800X3D and the difference is absolutely dramatic and well worth it. [...] Then I bought a 4K monitor and it brought it down to it's knees. [...]

I used my M1 Mac Mini (16gb / 512gb) for a month, then switched back to my 5800X3D / 3090Ti system and even the desktop seemed to be twice as fast. [...]

I don't think so, because when I run it on the 4090 I get the same issue (in a system with 5800X3D and 64GB RAM also). [...] Using the same software stack too (ollama). [...]

A year ago I swapped out a 5800x for a 5800x3d to get more stable frame rates in Counterstrike 2. Made a sizable difference, especially to 1% lows, so these large caches can clearly be a big boon. Granted it's also obvious the game is poorly optimized, the gains look less significant for most other titles.

I am so glad when I decided to upgrade my AM4 system a few years back to a 5800X (3D model at the time I believe was just released and was questionable at the time if it was worth it outside of gaming) I wanted to build a PC from my hand me downs for my kid so I went ahead and upgraded my storage and RAM to a decent 64GB DDR4 set that ended up with a decent stable overclock. Prices weren't great when I bought it at the time but compared to now, I'm glad I bit the bullet when I did.

How about supporting a socket for more than one generation? My desktop PC from 2018 is still going strong, on account of using the AM4 socket (AMD). That allowed me to upgrade to the 5800X3D a while back, a whole two generations or four years newer than the original CPU.

I purchased the 5800X3D last year and have yet to replace my 2600. I did make minor upgrades to my RAM from 4x DIMMs to 2x and bumped my SATA SSD to M.2 NVME.

I was in the same boat with an overclocked 3570K. I only just replaced it last year and grabbed a 5800X3D. I hope this thing lasts me a decade too.

I have 32GB and an aging 5800X3D and I have not had any issues running games yet. Honestly would love to know what games need more powerful RAM/CPU outside of stuff like Flight Simulator, or running at 160fps without framegen.

[...] My other x86 are Zen (threadripper, 5800x3d, 5950s).

Well i asked chatGPT IF i could run kimik2 on a 5800x 3d with 64 gigs of ram with a 3090 and it said: Yes, you absolutely can run Kimi-K2-Instruct on a PC with: :whitecheckmark: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D :whitecheckmark: GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 (24 GB VRAM) :whitecheckmark: RAM: 64 GB system memory This is more than sufficient for both: Loading and running the full Kimi-K2-Instruct model in FP16 or INT8, and Quantizing it with weight-only INT8 using Hugging Face Optimum + bitsandbytes. [...]

[...] Have a 3950X w/ 32GB ram, Radeon VII & 6900XT sitting in the closet hosting smaller models then a 5800X3D/128GB/7900XTX as my main machine. [...]

That would be an implementation deficiency. If Windows can be FDE and load faster than macOS, then the way macOS has implemented the FDE solution is suboptimal, if startup time is your primary measurement. I personally don't have issues with startup times on my M2 Air or 5800X3D/Win11, both encrypted.

We definitely had a good couple years in stability but I don’t see the forever part. Certainly not for gamers. Feels like game devs have come out of their covid slumber and decided it’s time to jack up requirements I recently did an interim update (5800x3d and 3090) so will try to hang on for a few more years

Damn, an 8 year old socket out selling all of Intel... I am still rocking an AM4 mini-itx board I bought in 2017, I put a 5800x3d in it this year, and 32gb of ram. It's a rock solid platform for gaming, 50% more performance for $300 was hard to beat.

[...] As an axis of comparison, I work on a really snappy and fast 5800X3D desktop with a couple of 180Hz monitors. My laptop is a 15" Macbook Pro i7 from 2018. Comparatively, the most sluggish-feeling part of the laptop is the 60Hz display. [...] The differences between laptops now and 5 years ago are subtle – finer photolithography processes mean lower power draw which means longer battery life and/or faster charging. Screens are sharper, more responsive, have better color. [...]

[...] No slowdown. I have 5800x3d/64GB/2TB/4090. [...]

I'm also very happy with my 5800X3D, it was wonderful value back when AM5 had just released and DDR5/Motherboards still cost an arm and a leg. The energy efficiency is much appreciated in the UK with our absurd price of electricity.

[...] My 5800x3D and 6800XT deliver an outstanding Linux gaming experience. I have a 7900XTX and performance under Linux has been at least on par with Windows, sometimes better (though not by much). [...] I'm not GP but I'd love to see frame gen and stuff like anti-lag and upscaling integrated into amdgpu with some sort of official way of setting it (though looking at Adrenaline it might actually be best if it's left up to the community to create the GUIs). [...]

[...] (3900XT to 5800x3d!). [...] I understand the (4.4ghz on air) 2600k don't meet the requirements and it needs to be updated, but the 6-core 6850k was one I really hoped to keep around for a while eg for my now 5 year old daughter. [...]

FWIW I put a few hours into building a starting city, and no real issues with performance now in that a game like this clearly doesn't depend on smooth frames quite like a flight simulator does. [...] :-) I could certainly see why my old system (5800x3d / 3070 / 64) doesn't play it quite as nicely for my son's bigger 3440x1440x60hz monitor though; it certainly made the 4090 busy.

PC components have gotten so crazy that even my almost decade old gaming PC of Thesius is still considered good. But Star Wars Zero Company wasn't running great, so I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, & now it runs great! I'm so glad I got my 4070 RTX before this pricing insanity.

Finally did the CPU swap from my trusty old Ryzen 5 2600 to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and I got my hands on a monitor that’s more in line with my computer’s current specs, and I’m seeing games at above 100fps for the first time ever and man what the fuck

[...] With Codex 5.2 (and some preprints wrt MRMS from countries that don't even really get tornadoes) I got to the point where this 5800X3D (and 128gb of ram) could attenuate and plot all of conus about as fast as new sweeps are published, but it makes my room very hot. [...]

No iGPU on my CPU (5800x3d). So was straight software decode (well maybe AVX2?) against GPU decode. [...]

[...] Occasional crash in some games, etc. [...] Ryzen 5800x3D RTX 4080 64GB DDR4 @ 4000 M/T's

Sadly I'm not one of those people because I have a desktop with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which does not have an integrated graphics card. However now that AMD is including integrated GPUs on every AM5 consumer CPU (if I'm not mistaken?), maybe VMs with passthrough will be more common, without requiring people to spend a lot of money buying a secondary GPU.
