Ryzen 7 5800X3D - Brilliant MSFS performance

[G-RFRY 1,720]

I would tend to wait till the real Benchmarks are out by testers as the 3090 does not have much at 1080p and is wasted.

What was interesting in the frenchie xplane 11 test was how similar across the board the amd chips were (in their series ie 2x, 3x, 5x) and the intel are similar but their is a gradient within each family based on core count. Xplane sorely needs a new architecture and hopefully that changes with 12 but I dont have high hopes for Austin's next deal.

Been happilly rocking the 5800x since launch. I run at 4k though. Will hold off on this in favor of a new gpu when they hit/actually become available.

The 5800X3d is going to be awful for MSFS. Please don't buy it (So I can get a copy for myself)

How does that compare to the Ryzen 9-5900X CPU ?

Just hope the price fits your pocket. AMD being cheaper.

Spotted: Gigabyte Radeon RX 6950 XT with a very high price (guru3d.com)

Availability of the 12900KS has been quite good actually, so I expect the same for the 5800X3D. Just 8 cores, no overclock on a dead-end AM4 platform will turn off a lot of high-end enthusiasts and new builds.

Also note the French review has X-Plane 11 benchmarks for the 5800X3D, which to put it politely isn't very good vs. the 12900K.

My 5900X falls asleep when running MSFS. 🙂

go to flytampa toronto with full AI, it will run

The 12900K is faster in X-Plane 11, no doubt. But I don't see any issue with the 5800X3D either, 89fps average, 69 fps 1% low looks like more than enough to me. And who knows what direction the relative performance Intel vs AMD will take in X-Plane 12.

Anyway, the 5800X3D is an amazing offer for upgrading an existing Ryzen system with low effort. But I probably wouldn't  build a new AM4 system at this point.

Gamebar stats rarely shows higher than 12% CPU utilization and all 12 cores seem to be doing some work.

But yes AI can be a killer.

They are not very comparable. The 12900KS is simply a 12900K with stricter binning, while the 5800X3D is using 50% more N7 silicon and a very difficult (and expensive) 3D-stacking and packaging process which does not have perfect yields either. Since it is only one SKU, the only logical explanation is that they are using dies not fit for Milan-X.

As for demand, not many gamers want the 12900KS. The huge increase in price and power consumption are not really worth the relatively small performance gains. Meanwhile, there are plenty of AM4 users sitting on Zen and Zen 2 CPUs who would see huge gaming performance boosts with the 5800X3D, while not having to change motherboards and deal with expensive and mediocre DDR5. I predict demand will be really high, especially with AMD finally enabling Zen 3 support on the X370 and B350.

It's for this very reason why I've decided to order on the day of release, I'm not prepared to wait and pick one up later, Amd might not make that many 5800X3D's, so it's best to pick one up straight away.

Ordered a 5800 x3D today for my birthday present from me to me. I hope to see the 40%+ from my current 5800x, but we will see. But it should go nice with my 6800XT anyway.

the Ryzen's have never really been amazing overclockers. People are not rushing out to try and get an extra 1ghz out of them. That has been Intel's game for a while now. My 5800x sits all day in MSFS at 4.85ghz with zero manual overclocking. Most of the later Ryzen chips perform at higher than advertised clock speeds anyways.

I'm waiting because at the moment im budget constrained.. but im also going to count on you to let me know how it runs at JFK with EVERYTHING turned on because at some point i am going to get this chip if i can get a solid 30fps with the entire airport humming.

Would have me set for at least another year and gives me a 1 year buffer before considering selling everything and starting fresh on AM5 or an intel offering.

Check out todays Hardware unboxed on youtube, they benchmarked the 5800x3d against the 5800x in msfs at 1080p 1440p and 4k, albiet with a 3090.
