Gaming Performance: 4K
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
Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)
Strange Brigade (Vulkan)
Typically when gaming at 4K resolutions, most games at these settings are GPU dependent with the CPU not usually having as much influence as a graphics card. In some of the games such as Final Fantasy 14, Grand Theft Auto V, and Strange Brigade, the additional L3 cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D did make a noticeable difference to performance.
In Strange Brigade, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was top when testing with the Vulkan API, but in Direct X 12, the results were reversed, with the V-Cache making no difference in this scenario. Even in Far Cry 5 at 4K resolutions, the Intel 12th Gen Core did markedly better, which wasn't the case in our 720p and 1080p testing.

Sure 15% more marketing BS eh ? Here's one which shows 8% tops. Also TPU scores all are over the place, when I checked 11900K review of 10900K benches and then in 12900K benches. Still it's some metric to use. Also go and check out Tomshardware that I mentioned in the last page. There's not even 10% difference you say 15% this type of BS is really annoying.https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d/imag...

It depends on the games, sure. Still your response was nonsense, the 5800X3D is far better for gaming than the 5900X, those extra cores are completely useless to gamers.hfm - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link
100% true. My 3080 is still the bottleneck more often than not, not my 5600X. Unless you're competing at esports or playing a game that is actually CPU bottlenecked, for most people a 5600X is still more than enough. Both the 5800X3D and 5900X are still enthusiast level or if you know you need it for productivity where time == money.Khanan - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link
Too bad that it’s over 20% faster than the 5800X in this review: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/uJUYKcHoYUmhoUw5... Generally AMD doesn’t lie, the 15% estimation is correct.Khanan - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link

[META] Could you please NOT include auto-playing videos on all pages? When I'm sitting in a park, my laptop tethered to my mobile phone for internet access, the last thing that I need is something that drains my battery and my data plan!nandnandnand - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
You should install AdblockPlus or something.Khanan - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link
Nah, he is right.hfm - Friday, July 1, 2022 - link
It would be nice to be able to give them the ad revenue without it being an egregious overstepping of bounds.Silma - Thursday, June 30, 2022 - link
It would be useful to factor in energy costs, perhaps over 3 years. Pretty sure AMD's offering will destroy Intel's one.Also please don't stop at listing processors TDP, but show a more realistic number.
