Gamers Nexus has a review up.  No MSFS test, but it's a solid improvement over both for a number of demanding games.

Thx for the link.

But sadly he does a 1080p review, which is another league than 2k/4k

I need comparison to 5900 and 5950.

If you see any

I don't need to see that .. If this thing is trouncing the 12900K in the sim (which in turn trounces the 5900x in the sim)  This is the chip to be on for an AMD platform for MSFS2020

What an awesome job by Dr. Su's team. a Truly last hurrah. This is an immediate buy for me.

as you increase resolution, GPU usage increase. They always test CPU on 1080p so they want to take away the GPU bottleneck in the chain.  If it performs this good at 1080p, it will be phenomenal at 2k/4k if you have the GPU that can handle it.

That's neat but how much does it cost?  My 12700k at microcenter was only 350 USD - not a bad price at all.  I guess one can always spend a lot more money on a massive CPU.

5800X3D  is 450.00 competing against the 800.00 12900KS or next lower 600.00 12900K Not mentioning the additional fact that this CPU is not really intended for a user building an all new PC. This is the last Chip for the AM4 Platform and is a worthy upgrade for anyone on said platform who have already invested in their pc.(As in my case .see my sig).

Those intel chips are on a brand new platform so on top of the cost of the Intel CPU's you will be factoring the cost of the supporting components (Mainboard at a minimum)

Here is me still On a 9900Ks. With a 3090 at 4K. No Ideas what I am supposed to upgrade to, if it is even worth it?

No your upgrade path is set to an intel 12700K or better CPU  /Z690 Chipset and maybe DDR5 if you have the budget for it. If your Happy with the present performance you can sit tight though and wait to see if Raptor lake from intel or Zen 4 from AMD works best for you.

I’d say I’m content for now, whilst I await DX12 and see what it brings. Was going to upgrade around November, new case, DDR, CPU etc…. Is raptor lake due then?

Probably end of Q3/Q4 Yep.

450.00 is not bad, and my birthday is April 20. I figure my 5800x would bring 300.00 or so on Ebay so I may have to think about this 😉

My 5900X falls asleep when running MSFS. 🙂

ns

Strange. My 5900X doesn’t. 🙂

It’s still Single Core Limited.

Yeah. You will Upgrade to a 4090 for around 2000 bucks. And a 1200 watt PSU. Like me 😄

450?  word not allowed that's impressive then.  I guess I should have went AMD lol.

A12700K is nothing to sneeze at.. The overall good thing is that no one is being left behind at the end of the day

Good plan. The performance boost from a 3800X should be huge (and that goes for any user on AM4 right now really), and it is possible that in MSFS the 5800X3D will edge out even Zen 4 and Raptor Lake coming later this year (which is kind of alright considering that good DDR5 will remain expensive for quite a while).

It will be great for those who are CPU-limited. If you are playing at 4K today you'll be GPU-limited in pretty much every scenario (except for those cases where being on the ground hammers the MainThread terribly), but Lovelace and RDNA 3 will probably change that.

Im running a 3900x and a 6800 non xt at 4k, i'm only looking to improve ground performance.

In the air i can run full ultra & 300 lods at 40+ fps, below 750 ft im hammered below 30fps unless i drop the lod to 100.

CPU bound.

Currently running 125 lods ultra so i don't have to touch settings to maintain 30+ fps in most scenarios.

No jetliners, mostly Kodiiak, TBM, DC6.

i'll definately pick up a 5800x3d, if i can get to 200 lods ultra 4k, (i find it difficult above that to appreciate any visual gains), with frames on the ground above 30, ideally 35 as below that I notice staggering with track ir.
