Gaming Performance: 1080p
All of our game testing results, including other resolutions, can be found in our benchmark database: www.anandtech.com/bench. All gaming tests were with an RTX 2080 Ti.
For our gaming tests in this review, we re-benched the Ryzen 7 5800X processor to compare it directly against the newer Ryzen 7 5800X3D on Windows 11. All previous Ryzen 5000 processor were tested on Windows 10, while all of our Intel Alder Lake (12th Gen Core Series) testing was done on Windows 11.
We are using DDR4 memory at the following settings:
- DDR4-3200
Civilization VI
Final Fantasy 14
Final Fantasy 15
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Far Cry 5
Gears Tactics
Grand Theft Auto V
Red Dead Redemption 2
Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)
Strange Brigade (Vulcan)
Focusing on our test suite at 1080p resolutions, again the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs well compared with other Ryzen 5000 processors and Intel's Alder Lake processors. In certain situations, Intel's 12th Gen Core with its higher IPC performance and faster core frequencies performs better, but only in certain titles where extra L3 cache doesn't have an effect on performance.
In titles that favor V-Cache, the performance differences are pretty conclusive and where extra L3 cache can be utilized, the 5800X3D and its 96 MB of 3D V-Cache sit comfortably above the competition.

Guy is a troll ignore him.Silver5urfer - Monday, July 4, 2022 - link
If you do not want to read them and try to even understand the issue at hand better stop at it, do not call everything that you do not understand as "Beta use at own risk" it's laughable how you dismiss the platform problems. clicked on top first link and called everything is beta..1.2.0.7 is currently a beta release rest of them are not and on top many already said 1.2.0.7 is better for platform stability over previous AGESA esp with TPM issues since Windows 11 dropped. Then again the 1.2.0.7 is bad for DRAM OC. You will dismiss the below link also.

Makeveli is even bigger joker using slandering of all.

1.2.0.7 is NOT beta. I only looked at Asus, but the 1.2.0.7 BIOSs (which I have had installed for at least a month) are not listed as beta. They may have been listed as such on the first few days of release.GeoffreyA - Friday, July 8, 2022 - link
I've been using 1207 for about a month, and it's running without problems on my B450 Tomahawk; but I did notice that MSI seemingly removed this BIOS from the website, the current one reverting to 2020's AGESA 1006. A quick search online shows that some people have had issues with it.Khanan - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
Nah it’s excellent for gaming, far better than the 5900X. The 5900X only makes sense for creators same as with the 5950X.Silver5urfer - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
I do not crave for that pathetic 1-2% I want a machine do everything from my 4K muxing to whatever I throw at it including a ton of MT workloads. The CPU is also locked I do not want that either. 5900X is a far better purchase.A PC is not just a damn "Gaming" only junk. It should be able to do everything. If I want just for gaming I would get any CPU and be done with it.

Just because a product doesn't meet your needs doesn't make it junk.Most people don't even need 8 cores, much less 12-16.

Those doing virtualization might, be it home or office.nandnandnand - Saturday, July 2, 2022 - link
And they will buy the product they need.Khanan - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link
1-2% lol go inform yourself a little better, this CPU is 15% ahead of Zen 3 in average.
