May 4, 20242 yr While thinking about going to a 5800X3D or not, I found there is a 5700X3D. Here in Argentina I can get the 5700X3D for $383 and the 5800X3D for $511. In Newegg USA, it would be $229 and $329, respectively (blame our taxes/tariffs and our location almost at the end of the world 😂). According this Frenchman, I'd be losing 4-6% performance in MSFS: It's in French, but the graph is very clear. Has anyone else tried the 5700X3D in MSFS in more real-usage conditions (ex. landing at KLAX)?

June 1, 20242 yr Author Well, no replies here, so I'll give mine: I got the 5700X3D for just $290, here in Argentina. I remember that, with my retired 5600X, I couldn't keep 60 FPS (FG on, locked with Noel's front-edge sync method) with the Fenix B2 landing at LVFR KMIA with FSLTL traffic (70 static airliners + 20 static GA + 8 IFR + 3 VFR). Now I can do so, and only got a dip to 55 during rollout. As expected, benchmarks showed that my single-core performance was lower than in the 5600X, but that's because somehow these benchmarks don't get any benefit from the 3D-thing these CPUs have. Also, running with FPS unlimited, the FPS increase was not as much as I hoped for. Locking FPS is where I found the amazing results (the same FPS, but a lot less stutters). Benchmarking apps also helped me to see that I possibly won the silicon lottery this time: my motherboard (Gigabyte B450 S2H, updated to latest BIOS) didn't allow me to set PBO or Curve Optimizer in BIOS. I had to use PBO Tuner for that. I could get to -50 mV and no crashes at all. I couldn't set -55 mV because I got an "out of safe range" warning. Neither Cinebench or any other stress test or MSFS could make my CPU crash at -50 mV. With my 5600X, MSFS could crash my CPU with just -20 mV. In conclusion, the 5700X3D is a good processor. I'm not sure if going there from a 5600X is worth the cost, but from a lesser processor (3700X or earlier) definitely is.

June 20, 20241 yr Author Hahahaha, I'm not sure about that, David. Haters gonna hate😂 I replied to myself because I've seen several threads asking something, and remained unanswered. Hope someone else with this dilemma finds this (almost) monologue useful😂 Best regards,Luis Hernández Main rig: self built, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (with SMT off and CO -50 mV), 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB, 256 GB M.2 SSD (OS+apps) + 2x1 TB SATA III SSD (sims) + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (storage), ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS air cooler, Viewsonic VX2458-MHD 1920x1080@120-144 Hz (G-sync compatible), Windows 11.
