@ADITYADIVINE As far as his 5600x is not broken: I think this is either caused by another hardware bottleneck (like ram, motherboard, power supply) or by overloading his cpu. 6 fast cores should be plenty for modern games - when only playing games. If you were doing something else while playing, like streaming, updating, etc. It would lower the framerate for a few games. If you have to buy a new motherboard anyway, a 10700k (or 10700) is the better choice - I believe. About the same price or cheaper. About the same gaming performance and better in multitasking.

[@RedBellySnake]

Excellent video, very happy with my 5800x and 3070.

[@BT4282]

This is a really good set of data. However if I was to make one observation it would be that adding some strategy games which have high CPU requirements would be useful. CIV 6, Total War 3 Kingdoms, and possibly Stellaris would be good additions, both to measure FPS but also turn times/game slowdown in large scenarios or late game periods. Stellaris especially can be set up via console commands to simulate a late game scenario with thousands of fleets and pops which can really hammer the CPU. At which point you can set it to observer and leave it for a set period of time to see how many in-game years pass and from that judge the performance. Not as controlled as a standardised benchmark, but running it a few times would provide decent data points.

[@harrylesueur]

love this content, it is by far the most applicable set of benchmarks for anyone building a new pc. Is adding a r5 3600 and r3 3300x to the graphs in your crystal ball?

[@karlhungus545]

He did it already, comparing the 3600 to the 5600x. Check the videos.

[@harrylesueur]

@@karlhungus545 tbh, I actually forgot about that one, but it was only with an rx 6800. The 3300x is what I'm really interested in though.

[@andersjjensen]

@@harrylesueur The 3300X will "do fine" in general, but it will get a bit hampered with titles like Assassins Creed and Hitman. But again, the higher resolution you target, the less the CPU matters. You can safely substitute the RX6800 for the 3070 in your mind. They're close enough in performance that their relative CPU scaling is the same.

[@alavizaman8917]

i've been waiting for this! excited to see the same comparison with their previous gen counterparts

[@arjunyg4655]

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!

[@andersjjensen]

CPU vs GPU scaling videos is the most important metric, and has been for quite some time, as it is THE most confusing part to a lot of gamers. They see the CPU benchmarks and think that a 10900k will make their 2070 Super 15% faster across the board :-/

[@arjunyg4655]

Yep. I really would liked to have seen the 3080 and 6800XT on here, vs the 5600/5700XTs which pretty much were always GPU bound above 1080 low. I’m trying to put together a 1440 or 4k setup, but no one tests high end GPUs with cheaper CPUs at good graphics settings, so it’s hard to judge. This series is a huge step in the right direction.

[@andersjjensen]

@@arjunyg4655 But the 3090 covers them both well enough. The difference between the 3090 and 3080 are only about 11% on average, so that won't change scaling much.The 6800XT is as fast as the 3090 at 1080p, about on par with the 3080 at 1440p and only a few percent slower at 4K, so again, the 3090 is perfectly fine as a comparison point for scaling. As you saw, graphics heavy games become almost entirely GPU bound at 1440p across the board. E-sports titles start seeing GPU bottlenecks at 1440p for the lover end GPU, but for any of the 3070 and up you're still pegging the CPU. At 4K it's mostly game over for anyone and you need a bigger CPU no matter what you have :P

[@arjunyg4655]

@@andersjjensen I think you got that backwards. 4K is where you *don’t* need a more expensive CPU. Also no the 3080/6800XT doesn’t really match the 3090 in most games. And since the 3090 is the only one that scaled with better CPUs in a lot of the tests, it’s not sufficient to say “well the 3080 is close enough.” The 3080 could well behave like a 3070 where I could probably put a last gen CPU in with it and get max performance out of it. The 3080 might scale with a 5600X and a 5800X but not with a 5900/5950X, etc.

Yeah there is more PCIe (and support gen 4) lanes, it's capable of OC and can enable ECC memory. but don't forget intel have thunderbolt and optane (AMD storeMI isn't as good) !

Content like this is exactly what is needed to get a true knowledge on when to upgrade and what.

It is weird seeing every AMD cpu online says made in China when mine says made in Malaysia ^^

[@pr0xZen]

Curious indeed. It's not uncommon to have multiple assembly sites in different countries, Malaysia being a well known one. Might be most reviewer samples sent out were assembled in China? Dunno if ie. HodorUnboxed has any retail samples (yet). Or what assembly region would serve them, Malaysia is closer, but China not that much further off.

Can't say I've ever thought about this but my 5900x is made in China (UK retail purchase).

@@Philovski My CPU is a 5800x purchased from Scan UK in mid January so I guess it is just random what shipment any retailer gets or maybe the 5800x's are made in Malaysia and the 5600/5900x in China. I am sure it makes no difference I just like seeing things not made in China for reasons lol.

@@AndrewH2791 Scan hooked me up with my 3080, 5900X came from Overclockers.

Thanks for the extensive review again, HU and Steven. :)

[@NomadBale]

Lol so for gaming you can go as lower as a 5600 zen 3, even for AAA titles, ah innovation

[@DerMeis7er]

well done as always mate. appreciate the time you put into this.

[@clifflenoir4323]

Thanks Steve. Makes me slightly less worried about optimising my CPU clocks since it won't make much difference to performance. I am temped to rather undervolt for less heat and fan noise. Any chance of adding Flight Simulator 2020 to the next version of this roundup as it seems very CPU limited

[@UberIsLife]

This was much needed. Thank you so much for what you do. I love you guys.

[@davepianist84]

Wow that was surely a huge benchmark maraton, thanks a lot, now I see that the 5600x is looking more appealing now

[@xero___768]

1700 run? man...!!! amazing work. it clear a lot of things. thanks so much.

[@davea99]

Woo! Best way to start the week!

[@MrSmitheroons]

This is a really great type of benchmarking to see being done. Thanks very much for getting into it, as most don't/can't/won't buy the top-end flagship GPU. This must take just about forever to do. I think for this particular set of benchmarks, it's apparent that the processors are all more than enough for gaming. I don't think Zen 3 is inherently that powerful that it's a full-on revolution over Zen 2. (It is significantly better, which is nice, but not _that_ much better that it inherently runs all games 100%). Rather, the Zen 3 line simply has no low-end or even mid-tier parts at the moment. It only has high-end to extreme/enthusiast-tier parts. So ultimately, with Zen 3 being exclusively premium parts right now, you get lots of headroom for the CPU, at most settings, and mostly just GPU bottlenecks in games. As soon as we get lower-end or mid-tier Zen 3, I expect there would be a different look to the charts where those are included.
