9800X3D vs 7800X3D - 8 Games Tested in 1080, 1440, 4K

[@Peaths]

Great to see someone test games which are rarely seen in benchmarks. Keep up the good work

[@pyurologie]

glad you liked it, thank you!

​@pyurologie legit rare games in benchmarks but games everyone is playing and actually care about 😂

Finally someone that does CPU benchmarks on non Ultra settings. You can still play at 4k and prioritize framerate.

[@pyurologie]

yes absolutely. I agree with you!

Of all the gaming benchmarks I've come across, this is the most relatable video for me. My guy tests games i actually play.

[@thillyard1]

Great comparison and data. I have a 7800x3d and 4080 combo with an 34” OLED 165mhz monitor. Based on the data and types of games I play it makes no sense for me to upgrade (I paid $290 brand new for my 7800x3d). I’d only see a 3-5% increase in most games which I doubt would be noticeable.

[@pyurologie]

Glad it was helpful! It's all about finding the perfect balance between performance and value for your needs.

[@thillyard1]

@@pyurologie Agreed and I love your practical, yet analytical approach to your review. If the 7800x3d and 9800x3d are within $50 of each other I’d grab the 9800x3d all day. I do wish the 7600x3d was available at more stores than just Amazon. At its price point I’d love to see you do comparison testing with it.

[@pyurologie]

I've done simulated 7600X3D tests with my 7900X3D and it basically matches the 7800X3D in most games, there are some specific games that make use of more cores, but most don't. I'm keeping an eye out for a deal on one though, may grab one at some point

[@bonesnaps]

It's usually never practical to upgrade every single generation unless you are super wealthy with money to burn.

Just upgrade over the holidays from a i7-12700KF to the 9800X3D, first PC I've built myself. Went from DDR4 to DDR5 memory too. So far, I'm so happy with the results. Paired with my 4070 Ti, the 12700KF was a bit of bottleneck even at 1440p since most modern games tend to have those CPU heavy areas (Balder's Gate city, open world game cities, RTS games, etc.). The 9800X3D pretty much crushes everything I can throw at it, letting the GPU go to full blast 100% utilization at all times, which is awesome since GPU ain't cheap lol, I want it to work for its price tag. There's also a side benefit to how powerful it is, increased raytracing performance (though I usually play with RT on) as it eats up some CPU resources so I saw gains in RT modes in Dragon Age, CB2077, etc. The fact that it doesn't buckle to the extreme CPU requirements on CB2077's crowd streaming system is impressive stuff. A lot of websites and channels yap endless about GPU being the most important part of gaming machine, but realistically...games are too complex to let any part bottleneck the others. Not to mention of course the extremes the chip can go to at 1080p, which must be sick for those with 360Hz monitors.

[@pyurologie]

nice upgrade, congrats! yes, especially with scaling and AI tech getting better and better, the GPU is obviously important but not as important as a solid CPU in modern games. Modern games require a massive amount of data due to their advanced visuals and mechanics. This creates a bottleneck because the speed at which data can move between memory and the CPU is limited. That's where memory bandwidth becomes crucial. Higher memory bandwidth allows data to flow more quickly, reducing delays and improving performance-making the 3d v cache a literal game-changer.

[@snifeabsolute967]

bro i have 12700kf rn paired with the 3080 i got recently and i decided to get the 7800x3d bc for some reason it gets less than 240 fps in cs2 somehow at times and i have a 240hz monitor. You think should i overpay for 9800x3d? in My country 7800x3d - 490 euro, 9800x3d - 580 euro

i am in the exact same situation haha, came from 10900K, bought 9800X3D for 539 euros the minute it came out. Built my new system, for now I am rocking a Bluetooth GPU tho haha, waiting on 5000 series. Good luck with the build!

[@pyurologie]

@andresverstraete bluetooth GPU??

[@imfern0550]

Great Video nice to see some cpu intensive games which are heavily benefiting from the 9800x3d. Keep it Up man!

[@HasanBabasi]

didn't realize how expensive UE5 is, kind of a bummer because it's a great engine, but damn. Kinda worried about cyberpunk 2 being on UE5, at first I was all for it, but not so much now. The red engine wasn't perfect, but it looked awesome and if they upgraded the engine I think it would have been one hell of a performer.

[@pyurologie]

yeah UE5 looks amazing in demos and game reveals, but it's way too demanding to scale across different hardware levels currently

[@alyx4436]

From what I have seen, at the moment the 9800X3D excels when it comes to UE5. That isn't to be overlooked considering how every dev and their mother is moving over to UE5.

[@pyurologie]

agreed!

if i have 3900x and want to uprgade which one should i buy? 7800x3d cheaper or buy 9800x3d? and why

[@user-gq3eq5bf9t]

What's the best ddr5 money can buy for the 9800X3D?

[@bonesnaps]

Basically any CL30 DDR5 ram. Higher clock speeds with worse timings basically ends up benching the exact same while costing more, so everyone is recommending CL30 memory at this time (to my knowledge).

[@pyurologie]

6400CL32 48GB kit is what I would get for the best performance without wasting money: amzn.to/3VOaaq5

Uplift seems good but as someone who runs a 7800x3D on a 4070 Super I am not really feeling a hard push to upgrade as the GPU is mostly the bottleneck for me.

[@thanakornnarisirikul9261]

Can someone explain Why 9800x3d consume higher watt but low temperatrue than 7800x3d???

[@pyurologie]

they moved the L3 cache from on top of the cores in 5000X3D and 7000X3D to under the cores in 9000X3D. this resulted in much better heat dissipation and even allowed for the ability to overclock the 9800X3D

[@pyurologie]

it depends on the games you play.. with a 4090 there isn't a huge difference between 7800X3D and 9800X3D, but with a 5090 the 9800X3D might be able to get more out of it.. yet to be seen

The 9800X3D is amazing cpu but the price is absurd. 650$ for gaming cpu? I think for gaming the cpu shouldn't be more expensive then 300$,everything above that is overpriced in my opinion. I would love to see how Ryzen 5 7600X3D compares to 9800X3D as it is half of it price.

Can't a gaming CPU cost more than $350? May be. but the best gaming processor will cost a lot. you will always pay for the prefix "best". in the case of the 4090, you are also not paying for performance, you are paying for the title of “best gaming video card”
