Review Zen4 3D review thread

[Hitman928]

Thread to focus on Zen4 3D cache CPUs.

New gaming king (as most expected), though the 2 CCD 7950x3d does seem to have issues with some games, more than I would expect of it getting stuck on the "wrong" CCD. I imagine it will get cleared up with subsequent updates but we'll see. Simulated 7800X3D showed no such issues and overall has the gaming lead (real product might be slightly slower though depending on in game clocks).

Computerbase also has the 7950x3d as the gaming champ. They (and TPU) also show that efficiency while gaming is extremely good.

Ryzen 9 7950X3D im Test gegen 5800X3D und 13900K(S)

Zen 4 3D ist da. Im Test erweist sich AMDs Ryzen 9 7950X3D gegen 7950X, 5800X3D und Core i9-13900K(S) als schnell und effizient.

Just to toot my own horn a little, it landed spot on with my prediction of fastest gaming CPU but not significantly so over a 13900k on average, but with much higher efficiency.

Additional reviews, will add more later.

If I have a motherboard that doesn't have a clear CMOS button on the rear I/O I usually connect the front panel reset button to the CMOS jumper pins.

This is the way.

Wanted to see how my PC performed today compared to a year and 1/2 ago.

Key differences:

MSI 4090 replaced with Gigabyte Waterforce 4090. Same core clock speed. +1600 on memory compared to +1100. 600W max power compared to 520W. Runs cooler.

High frequency CCD turned off with other BIOS changes:
BCLK1 Frequency [102.0000]
BCLK2 Frequency [106.0000]
Memory Frequency [DDR5-6120MHz]
FCLK Frequency [2100 MHz]
Tcl [28]
Trcd [36]
Trp [36]
Tras [28]

Windows 11 23H2 with the Ryzen performance fix.

Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty update. It's not exactly apples to apples with this update. Settings are the same though.

Could you maybe post your old scores next to the new?

And you are still experiencing problems when not disabling the frequency cores?

I quoted my original post and all browsers have the ability to scroll on a page.

I disabled the HF CCD last year when I discovered some games stutter with the AMD driver / Xbox game bar solution. Still do to this date. Metro Exodus being one of them. Then there are other games that show a slight performance increase with the HF CCD being disabled. No matter what you try to do with the HF CCD in Windows.

Since this is my gaming PC and I only game on it, the HF CCD remains disabled in BIOS. No silly VCache driver/service, no game bar, and no power plan settings.

It's interesting that Horizon: Zero Dawn saw so much improvement. Critics panned the Windows port for poor performance when it came out.

7600X3D review. Pretty much makes Zen 5 redundant at best.

Time to wait for the holiday sales I suppose.

Time to wait for the holiday sales I suppose.

If there's any stock left. The Intel crashing problem has apparently caused all the X3Ds to be snagged up by the dissatisfied ex-Intel gamers...

Locally, I can find only the 5700X3D at a grand total of ONE online shop at a reasonable price. The 7800X3D is available ONLY from Amazon from one seller for more than the price of 9700X. 7900X3D is about the same price as the 9700X.

 

[AdamK47]

Are there any PC gamers seriously considering a 14900K system over a Zen4 X3D system?

Not only do you have the specter of potential early degradation, but you also have the performance of the 14900K going down with fixes for it while Zen4 X3D performance has gone up with the latest Windows update.

7800X3D performance in Warhammer 40K: Spess Marine 2

Zen 2, Zen 3, 7800X3D compared.

Almost double the performance in 2 generations with the settings tested. A little faster yet more than doubling performance in the bar chart above.

5600X being on par with the newer 11900K while having cost much less and sipping power is a big oof.

Wonder how the 5700x3d is doing in 40kSM2?

Wonder how the 5700x3d is doing in 40kSM2?

HUB has 98/111 for 1440 Ultra DLSS Q with the 7800X3D+4070. This looks like same setting and test scene combat with the 5700X3D, gets 72/95. So about 27% worse on lows, but only 14% on avg. Not certain what windows version. The 1% in games is often improved with 24H2 or the KB on 11, don't know how it runs on 10.
