billions of gamers, myself including, thinking the very same. so if it goes as like the launch of the 7950x3D which is still nowhere to be seen, it doesn't look like "in the next weeks" 🤣

Managed to grab one it seems. 🙂

 

Can't really decide between the 7800X3d or the 7950x3d. For gaming the former seems the obvious choice but it would be nice to have some productivity-muscles as well.

I just upgraded from 10850K/4090 to 7950x3D/4090 and even this mighty pair could be down to the knees at 25fps when I'm flying low over the NYC skyscrapers

If you haven't already, you might want to seriously consider nuking your boot drive and installing Windows fresh. I got the 5900X3D and a 3070Ti, and absolutely didn't want to reinstall Windows. But I finally bit the bullet and performance improved markedly. I don't have the settings up completely full, but most are on ultra, a few on high and just a couple on medium and I'm pretty smooth flying in and out of LaGuardia in VR.

Was that your post over on the MSFS forum? If so, it's very helpful.

I was thinking the same thing initially, but reading different flight sim  forums, I decided to go with the 7950x3D. The reason is because I use quite a few background applications that can take advantage of the "parked" cores leaving MSFS to use those precious V-Cached ones. Background apps like the Varjo Base, Volanta, vPilot or FSLTL injector, AI FLow, Simbridge, vatSPy, MCE, and a bunch of other stuff like Discord and the web browser. From what others are saying, if you don't plan on running many background applications, the 7800 would be the way to go. I don't really want to leave anything to chance, and this CPU may last a LONG time. Heck, look at the guys with the 5800x3D's. A lot of them aren't upgrading their CPU anytime soon, and that was released late in the last generation. I'm sure that waiting another generation or two would certainly allow one to run MSFS at a native 60 FPS in every situation with TLOD at 400....but I don't want to wait another 3-4 years for that. Hardware right now is pretty d*amn good.

Yup. My sentiment as well. Ordered the 7950x3D with the 4090. Going to be glorious. 🤪🥹

With 7950x3d;

You could set the scheduler in your bios to always "prefer cache". Most games like that the most. Some of your apps might get a hit in performance, but if gaming is the most important, that might still be a good setting.

lmportant for scheduling v cache cores.

No, but that's the post that finally convinced me to pull the trigger!

Got everything installed last night, and WOW, it's really great. I had to get a new case though since the one I ordered was too small. Kinda glad though because now I have an excuse to get the case I really wanted. Should be arriving tomorrow. Performance wise, it's a huge step up from the 11900K. I was already using frame generation with the old system and 4090, but now I'm able to run 250 TLOD with better frames. Unfortunately my GSYNC monitor died some months ago, so I think i'll get a new one here shortly. Otherwise, on my 60hz monitor with everything locked at 60 and frame generation on, i have not once dropped below 60fps. Modest FSLTL settings, in New York with the Fenix....blown away.

Peloto just uploaded this benchmark video:13900K + 4090, no FrameGeneration, @ 1K resolution:

A 4090 running at 1920*1080!!!! I despair. Like driving a Ferrari at 30mph. 🙄

that's how all CPU benchmarks are run, and 1K without FrameGeneration OFF @ 80-90 fps = the same @ 4K WITH FrameGeneration ON, as we have shown previously. someone who can afford a 4090 + 13900K will surely have a monitor slightly above 1K. 😃

To ensure the GPU is not the bottleneck I presume. But in reality users should be running 4K with a 4090.

trust me, we forty niners know. 😃 again, he was bench marking. and is waiting for 7800x3D equivalent testing. my 7800x3D is on the way (and 2.000 more from the same dealer today), waiting to be bench marked, and to be actually flown from time to time, bench marking permitting.
