From 6 Cores to Gaming Greatness: A CPU Upgrade Journey - Tech Deals

[@MidnightBanshi]

I went from a 2700x to a 5800x when it was at a good price locally, so I could just snag and drop - absolutely no regrets at all!

[@Nixxx2000]

I did the same with my main PC and also no regrets, I love the perfomance, but I like 2700x and it is on my benchtable paired with 2080 ti and runs most games smoothly 1440p

[@kokarulevic]

@@Nixxx2000 I did pretty much the same upgrade as you two guys (2700x to 5700x) and also no regrets but in a day to day interaction with my PC (aside from benchmarks), it's also not a super noticeable difference... 🤐 I just believe it's better and that's it 😄

[@williambreeze2659]

I went from a ryzen 7 2700 non with 16 gb memory. To a ryzen 7 5800x with 32 gb memory. I was blown away with the performance increase. My pc is a completely different animal now. Next upgrade I'm going to a I9 or ryzen 9.

[@D3nsity_]

Thats because an OC'd 8700K has almost identical IPC to a 5800x3D the cache is doing that much heavy lifting or an alternate way of looking at it is that the 8700K would be that good with that amount of cache. Insane to think. *edit for reference both score around 580-590 single core score in CPUZ benchmark

I went from a 1700x, to a 3700x, to a 5800X3D, and each upgrade was very noticeable. My primary gaming rig isn't used for high productivity, and the X3D will be fantastic for a while.

[@dazryan3463]

My choice was much easier. I had a Ryzen 7 2700X in a MSI B450 Tomahawk. Swapping in a Ryzen 7 5800X when the price dropped was a no brainer

[@harrybryan9633]

I did something very similar - went from a 2700/B450 Tomahawk to a 5700. Didn't even need to replace the cooler; I have nearly twice the performance for $200.

[@robertg6019]

I upgraded my Ryzen 1600X to 5800X3D, next year i hope to upgrade my 1070 GPU to 5060 with 16GB VRam or AMD equivalent. The CPU upgrade felt bigger than any computer replacement I have ever done and I started computing with my 486 DX33 and then to a Pentium 200.

[@m.d404]

Bro dont cripple yourself for much longer just Buy a 6800xt used or anything. It will be def worth now and Not Suffer a year more

[@ElladanKenet]

Depends on use and how long you want to use it. I'm sitting on a 3700X and I can tell it's starting to have a few hiccups here and there, even at 1080p. My rig is 3 years old, and I'm contemplating a new build next year. Going another year or two would be too much and compromise my enjoyment. I could drop in a 5700X, 5800X or 3D, but by the time 2024/25 comes around, whatever's out then will be way better. And I just don't want to mess with the CPU that, even underperforming, still works. And if I do decide to sell it, I can sell the CPU, MB, and RAM as a 'matching set'.

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

i went from a 3700x to a 5800x3d, it made a WORLD of difference. 32in 1440p 165hz with an rtx 3080

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Cache wise would think a 7 or 9 even if the price makes sense. Helped my friend build a 5800X in 2020, it's still a great machine (friend is playing @ 1080P). That is a gift having the ability to do a drop in upgrade still.

[@gatsusagara6637]

2 yrs ago, I went from a r5 1600 to a R9 5900x. The difference in gaming, streaming, and torrenting is mind boggling. I also did go from 16gb ram to 64gb so that helped a bunch. That final am4 upgrade made me a fan of AMD.

[@Fate025]

Agreed completely, I upgraded from a 3950x to a 5800x3d cpu, on a x570 MSI tomahawk motherboard, 1+ year ago. GPU back then was the 3080. I downgraded the core count cause I no longer needed the extra cores for CPU crypto mining and mainly used my computer for gaming. When I slotted in the 5800x3d, my Rust gaming FPS went all the way from 80 to 160+, so it was an insane upgrade in terms of gaming smoothness. 6 months ago I bought a 7900xtx, sold my 3080. Then just beginning of oct 2023 I finally splurged $1000+ to upgrade to the 7800x3d, x670 Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX motherboard, and Team Group DDR5 32GB CL 30, 6000 Mhz RAM So the upgrade to the latest and almost greatest in gaming is pretty expensive, and most budget gamers should just stick to my initial upgrade and just upgrade the CPU from 3000 series to 5000 series.

[@nukedogger86]

I have a R5 3600, RTX 3080, 32 gb RAM, and pondered the drop in upgrade CPU. Then I watched videos of side by side comparisons of frame rates, with 4K (my resolution) most games had little to no change upping from the 3600 to a 5700 or 5800/x/3d. I've noticed the games I do have frame dips tend to lean on a single core vs multiple. I'm assuming something with a better clock vs more cores is what'd end up better. I could be way off base though. I am just unsure if dropping $200 or so on a cpu now will give me the benefit. I'm hoping 4 more years then do an uber badass upgrade.

[@TheManolis1984]

I am actually in the same position. This was a fantastic explanation, thank you very much!

[@rickss69]

Kind of in the same boat as I have been using AM4 3700X and a AMD 5700 card for the past 3 years at 1080p. Wanting to move to 1440p I recently went AM5 7900 and a AMD 6800XT with intentions of it being useable for at least the next 3 years. Same as the other user, Starfield was the kickstart to my movement. I of course had to purchase a high refresh rate (240Hz) Samsung monitor to compliment the package. It was a rather expensive upgrade, but this one should last a good while.

[@kramnull8962]

Did you ever try the bios upgrade for the 5700 that raises it to a 5700xt?

[@bodasactra]

This one scares me. Starfield was intentionally gimped to sell hardware and it worked. Bethesda later released a patch that improved performance 20 fps+. The damage was done, many people upgraded. Its not the only new game to do this, come out high demand only to patch it away weeks after release. I believe Nvidia is behind it, they are worth trillions and have the kind of cash to pull this off.

[@NegativeROG]

AM4 is such a great platform, I may not upgrade for a decade. Currently on a 5900x, 6950 XT, Dark Hero- 4K gaming but on a TV, so only 60Hz. I can't see changing my monitor ever, so all I need is hardware that will run on my display. I don't play extremely demanding games- BL3 and Wonderlands are the toughest games I play, but I need to be ready for Borderlands 4.

[@CRF250R1521]

[@rnwilliams44]

[@rangersmith4652]

My PC building journey began with intense frustration trying to play FFXIV on a laptop with an i5 3230M quad-core and HD4000 integrated graphics (dating from 2013). From there I built as my main gaming PC, in succession: FX-6300/R9-270X, FX-8350/R9-290 then two in Crossfire, Core i7 6850K/980ti's in SLI, Ryzen 7 1700/1080Ti, 3900X/2080ti, and now 13700K/6800XT. By far the biggest leap in user experience was from the 3230M to the FX-6300, as one would expect. I was playing at 1080p until the 6850K, then I went 3440x1440, which necessitated getting a 1080ti. The 3900X/2080ti made 3440x1440 100 FPS easy, and with the latest build I can play at 4K 100 FPS with settings maxed out. That all being said, last Black Friday I built a 5700X machine for audio work and upgraded my HTPC from that old 1700 to a 3600X. These are probably still the two best value CPUs available today (23 Oct 2023) on the still best value platform.

[@christianbeaupre7989]

Funny thing, I'm in the same boat, barring the CPU being a 3700x. GPU is a 3080 10GB. I've had the 5800x3D for near on a year now, haven't installed as I wanted to do some benchmarks to share on Reddit/youtube. With DLSS on high settings I'm able to get 120fps on Cyberpunk without Ray tracing. I guess those six cores really make a difference.

I have a Taichi x470 board with 32gb of RAM and was running an AM4 3700x with a 5700XT GPU on 1080p settings. I found that the games I was running things were starting to get slow, and I was still on 1080. I swapped in for a 5800x3d chip and a 7900xt and jumped up to 1440p settings. It was a HUGE difference while going up to 1440p as well. All the Cache on the 5800x3d really wakes up games that want it.

[@jrminate]

I had a 3700x back when the game Sons of the Forest came out built on Unity Engine. That game made me upgrade to a 5800X3D. I already had a 6900XT for awhile, but that game was pretty demanding on the CPU side too. Just by popping in a 5800X3D after a Bios Update I gained +20-30 FPS and the 1% lows were much higher and stable. All settings exactly the same too and same GPU and everything else. A lot of the newer games on UE5 run better with 8 real / Performance cores from what I have tested. I still think the 5800x3d is great if you still have a full am4 platform and all you want to do is mainly Game. I use the 5800x3d for Unreal Engine 5.3 Rendering and creating scenes too along with the 6900xt overclocked to 6950xt performance. The full AMD build will tackle UE5 great. You don't need to have Nvidia either.

[@LightningScythe]

Almost exact same situation but im an an ab350n in a fractal define nano. I'm sure a 3800x or even a 5800x3d coukd be a drop in upgrade but im concerned with the vrms, which already can get to 80 during gaming. Being in the tropics doesnt help. So in this case I'm more inclined to replace the board to facilitate an upgrade, or save and rebuild on a new platform.

you dont need a new cpu

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Unless you're stuttering.. . 12900KF is pretty good, got on sale, 13700K(F) also should be good. Any 12th/13th on sale, otherwise wait. Have also a 12700KF. 7900XTX was great for Starfield, I played it briefly on launch 1440P. Maybe check to see what your GPU utilization is in game also. There's a reddit forum post from starfield community saying it's CPU intensive. You don't need a new cpu but it likely will run better. Would check the cache also but 12th/13th i7/i9 have a good amount for gaming. If you could wait for 15th/Ryzen 8000 those should be better. But stepping up from 9th gen for me was noticeable. 7800XT or 7900XT are also decent options. Depends how much you want to spend, perfectly acceptible to hold for new cpu/gpu releases in the coming months also. Some people went with 13700K for 1440P Starfield and they seem content. I don't feel Nvidia included enough vram on the newer cards.

That i9 is perfectly enough for games for quite some time. If you have good ram, then 4080 will be good with it, but only at 4k without bottlenecking.

When I upgraded to my 5800X I immediately felt how different and how more respoinsive and cool that the 5800X is. I wpould've went with the x3D but lack of overclocking features and higher price point there's no point when I get simlar temps and can get x3d like performance while saving $30-$50.

Tech and Rogue, thanks for this video, It rocks and tells people that the AMD $ platform is still viable in 2023. Question is the R5 5600x also 2x3 cores like the R5 3600? Will the same performance leap hold true for the 5600 to 5700?

[@georgwarhead2801]

the 3600/x aare not realy 2x3 cores. they are still on the same die, its just that the cache is split in 2, so the first 3 cores have access to the first half of the cache and the last 3 cores have access to the second half. if now a game was moved from working on the first 3 cores to the last 3 cores, the data had to be moved from the first half of the cache to the second one wich was a huge performance penalty. with the 5000 series ryzen, the cache got unified into one large cache where every core has access to the same data stored in the cache...back then the performance uplift from 5600 to a 5700 was not that big of a deal, but now with newer games loading 8 cores, the performance difference is bigger

Without seeing the guys msi afterburner usage I can't say for sure and haven't looked into the power of the gpu.

[@stanisawkowalski7440]

Solution depends if he aims more pretty graphics or fps, feeding his 165Hz screen. If graphics, in mentioned games his not so strong GPU won't let him go crazy with fps - it will be balancing prettiness to get acceptable framerate like 60 fps. In that case going AM4 and keeping it until next GPU upgrade is reasonable, will make nicely balanced build. But if he's from the kind prefering lowering settings to get 100+ fps, fastest possible AM5 makes more sense. High fps (100+) AAA gaming just demands more freqent CPU upgrades.

I'm in a similar position. I'm currently running a 5600 on a B450 with a 2070S GPU, and using the Wraith Stealth cooler. I've recently received, as a one off gift, $3k AUD. Whilst I could upgrade my current AM4, though I'd need a new CPU cooler, new GPU, and probably new PSU, I'm thinking of hitting up a 7800X3D and 7900XT based build. One reason being is I won't have this kind of money again, for a very long time, if at all, so whilst 'future proofing' is a bad idea, I need to consider a PC to play the same games as Adam, as well as MSFS 2024, at 1440 60 for longer than 2-3 years.

3 months ago I was i7 8700 non k I have worst experience on warzone 2 fps 40 ish with rx 6600 so I decided to go Ryzen 5 5500 new build and never look back my fps is 100 ish I’m happy with it. Tech is right just cpu upgrade but don’t forget to update the bios.

[@antoniocepaj7544]

I'm building new PC with used 1080 ti. What Intel 13 gen CPU should I pair with it ? Using single FHD 1080p monitor.

[@sharkey9]

For that rig you could easily go with the cheapest option like the i3-13100.

[@glennpatrickdomingo584]

is jumping from 5600x to 5700x while using a 7800xt as GPU and 16gigs of RAM worth it? I mainly play DoTA, Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy 7 Remake.. I'm using a 1440p 165hz monitor that can be OC'd to 180hz

So I game in 4K only and currently have a 5800X (non 3D) and a 4090, my cpu is almost maxing out while gaming. Tomorrow I have decided to go get a 7800X3D and x670e Crosshair (also new ram). Am I crazy?

[@roki977]

I would want to have the 5800x3d for Phantom Liberty. Even with a 12900k I'm CPU bound when driving through the main stretch of dogtown.

[@heyitszim6359]

Honestly I'd take the R7 5700X/5800X3D upgrade and wait until AM5 is at least third gen or by the launch of AM6. By then, AM5 would have matured nicely, and if you start building a new AM5 rig by the time AM6 launches, hardware prices will likely drop for AM5.

[@ChildofLight777]

My 8700K paired with 4090 is doing too well. So well I'm afraid I see no reason to upgrade further.

[@MAR-jq7co]

He is right, ryzen 3000 series is crap for high fps gaming. I had a ryzen 3700x, upgraded to 5900x, such a big difference.

[@albertmichelsen7598]

You once uploaded a video years ago. It was a laptop game/fps test, you tested the laptop in ark survival evolved. where is that video now? I believe it was an acer laptop

[@imnutrak130]

wouldn’t 7500F cost less and match the 5700X? I would go a620 + 7500f and cheapest ddr5 ram, use this upgrade and sell it as a package and buy a more decentmobo if needed or upgrade to the 9500F two gens down the road still at 65W on the same cheap mobo🤷

[@Irongalaxies]

Don't choose the 5700X especially if you have Starfield in mind. I had a 5800X and it couldn't handle Starfield very well (7900XT was never above 60% usage). Go with the 5800X3D, it's the best upgrade for AM4 and it's a steal around $300.

[@stangamer1151]

5800X3D is a pretty bad value at anything more than $250, taking into account the price of 7500f/7600.

[@robw7381]

A $300 upgrade just to play Starfield should land you on death row

[@Irongalaxies]

@@stangamer1151 What? You are talking about value... but to upgrade to a whole new platform for a 7500f? yeah...value.

[@Irongalaxies]

@@robw7381 A bit extreme, but it wouldn't just benefit Starfield, 5800X3D is still punching well above it's price point to this day. It's still a top 10 gaming CPU especially if you are still on AM4 and not looking to upgrade to AM5 or Intel

[@stangamer1151]

@@Irongalaxies 5800X3D price = 7500f + B650 price. Resale value of an old AM4 MoBo and DDR4 RAM will cover the cost of DDR5 kit. This way you are getting a new platform with great upgradeability. Why should anyone choose super expensive 5800X3D and stuck on an old AM4 for the same price? 5800X3D is the worst CPU for AM4 in terms of price/performance ratio. It is just 20% faster than 5700X. But it costs almost 2 times more. Compared to very cheap 5600, 5800X3D looks even worse - 25% faster and almost 3 times more expensive. During Black Friday you could get 12600K for $140! This is a CPU, which really punches well above it's price. 5800X3D for $300+ is a joke, compared to this offer.

[@SwingArmCity]

AM5 is not as expensive as it was. I would stay in AM4 in this situation.

[@chrispittmanComputing]

I have owned the 3600 and 5700X and my GPU is a 6800XT. Go with the 5800X3D it's better in gaming and will max out the 6800XT. If you aren't using tuned B-die the 5800X3D will smoke the 5700X in most games. I have upgraded to a 7800X3D on AM5 trust me 5800X3D is all you need to do for rock solid experience unless you are buying a stronger GPU you do not need to spend any more money on your platform.

[@choicezz9861]

The 3600x is still a fast chip. The only upgrade would be to get a 7600x instead of 5600x which means... Upgrade everything! :( just my opinion. Just look at the benchmarks. That is why i wish now that I had bought a cheqp AM5 bought now.

[@Irudium1]

This is unbelievable, this is what i talked to my friend about 3 days ago, and here you are making video about exact same topics huh. I was saying how my 9600k is too weak for 1080ti and 1440p resolution, that im going to upgrade to 14700k minimum cos it has bigger bandwidth than 13th gen. I just cant believe how like minded me and you are.

[@Irudium1]

Also told him that AMD uses Shared Cache lmao this is remarkable

[@auggieaxiom5726]

adam can recycle the same cooler he has with the 5700x which makes the 150$ gap even more between 3d

[@Wolverine607]

Wait the 5900X is 2 6 core chips and double L3 cache, That is only because each chip has 32MB L3 cache so not really double. Your channel talks about how so many games use more than 8 cores. That is pretty sad that no company Intel nor AMD have more than 8 P cores on a single chip/ring/CCD. Intle if the thread director 2 works real well and the extra threads do not need to fully saturate CPUs at least has all cores on a single ring bus. AMD better to stick with only 8 cores due to scheduling mishaps if gaming. The same is true for Zen 4 and will be for Zen 5 sadly. Intel thread director supposed to take care of gracmont being different but does not always work perfectly but at least it is a true more than 8 core CPUI. AMD its like dual 5600X or 5800X socket CPUs and not good latency for gaming as such.

He will need to get a better GPU instead rtx 3060 or better than that he also need better 32gb ram ryzen 5 is okay more for mid-range you can push it before okay but you cannot push it Beyond you would need something a ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 and you would pretty much buy the top of the line GPU and get a better motherboard and hires power supply something like that would cost thousands of dollars up

[@blackshadowxv15]

I did bought a 5800XD on a prime day deal (alongside a 4tb ssd), but the package got stolen because some delivery couriers just plop it on to the downstairs inbox my apartment building. I got my refund for the chip thankfully.

Best way to upgrade if cpu issue is to buy a nice 4k monitor and gpu, then stop complaining

There are so many more variables that just increasing the resolution. Very dependent on what cpu you are currently on as well.
