Okay, I bought an R7 5800x...

I planned to buy an R9 5900x, but had no luck in my search over several months. The R7 5800x is 1% slower and 18% cheaper, so I bought one. Anyone own a R7 3700x? It's what I'm currently using and wondering what difference I'll see. Supposedly the 5800x is 14% faster. I'll report later what benefits, if any I'll see.

 

 

 

 

And yes, this is a none post because I wanted to share and lockdowns have got me bored at home.

Edit; This is for gaming.

The big reason people have been talking "poorly" on the 5800x(and this is from someone that has one), they are very hot from the factory. For the price difference it makes more sense to get the 5900 if you can. I switched from Intel when I went to the 5800x and also switched from Nvidia at the same time. I could always compare to a 9900k, but because of my system set up it's fairly difficult to swap motherboard and RAM. 

I don't think you'll be let down by the 5800x. It's still a very good CPU.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Also because people see 8 cores and $450 next to eachother

Which is less than the 9900k was at release, but that wasn't brought up when it was released?

not inflation, but in terms of cpus should be cheaper and better now, otherwise I would of bought it 3 years ago (even though they actually are just maybe not in the way you were thinking)

Why should they be cheaper? There's more R&D involved. A harder process node. Making them better will by default make them more expensive when they first come out. $450 now isn't the same as $450 2 years ago.

Well the results are......... Not noticeable right now. Based on playing Need For Speed Heat and Frost Punk, there's maybe 5pfs boost if that. If @jaslion is correct, I won't see a real benefit until I can get a 3080.

Play something that's generally CPU limited like most MMOs and you'll notice an improvement, even if your GPU isn't amazing.

 

CPU performance is very noticeable in games like FF14/WOW where half the time your GPU is sleeping anyway.

Before you reply to my post, REFRESH. 99.99% chance I edited my post.

Dont forget the likes of ESports titles. Dota, OW, CS:Go etc. Until you get your 3080 that's where your biggest improvement will be. 

 

Or fire up AOE2 and see what you can get for FPS 😉
