We lastly got around to checking the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, which was launched a little over a year back, so the timing feels. All joking aside, this was never ever a CPU we had an interest in because at $600, it merely didn’t make good sense. Even without examining it, we currently understood all we required to understand offered our experience with the 7800X3D and 7950X3D. Honestly, at the time, we had more fascinating items to cover, however one year later on which’s no longer the case, so let’s do it.
Previously at $600, you were much better off purchasing the 7950X3D for $700. That simple 17% rate boost provided you 33% more cores, and more most importantly for video gaming, you got an additional 2 3D V-Cache allowed cores. If video gaming was the focus, then the 7800X3D for $450 was not just a lot less expensive however likewise ensured to provide much better video gaming efficiency as it loaded 8 3D V-Cache made it possible for cores, whereas the 7900X3D is restricted to simply 6.
With current rates modifications, things have actually altered in a rather huge method. The 7800X3D can now be had for just $370, and the 7950X3D $580, which is near sufficient to a 20% discount rate on both parts. Those aren’t the greatest discount rates; the 7900X3D has actually seen 35% slashed off its cost, dropping it to simply $390, making it a simple $20 more than the 7800X3D.
This is having numerous potential Ryzen purchasers reassess the 7900X3D. The only issue exists’s extremely little benchmark information online as this part never ever had an evaluation program. We went and got one, and then tossed our battery of video gaming standards at it, to see how it compares versus the 7950X3D and 7800X3D, however likewise the rest of the Ryzen 7000 series.
For screening, we’re utilizing the Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master motherboard running the current F22 BIOS, and for the memory, we have a 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 package. For the GPU, we’re naturally utilizing the GeForce RTX 4090 as it’s the very best tool for determining the video gaming efficiency of CPUs, and this implies we’ll likewise be checking at 1080p.
If you’re questioning why customers evaluate in this manner and you ‘d like to discover more, we have an explainer that covers that. Now let’s enter the information …
Criteria
Up is Baldur’s Gate 3, which has actually been an exceptional title for the X3D chips. The 7800X3D, for instance, is 52% faster than the 7700X in this video game. While the non-3D V-Cache parts are rather comparable in terms of efficiency, the much faster X3D variations reveal more variation in the outcomes. The 7800X3D and 7950X3D provided comparable efficiency, however the 7900X3D was somewhat slower, tracking by a 7% margin.
This is since it has less 3D V-Cache allowed cores, simply 6 instead of 8, and the video game is set up to just work on the 3D V-Cache made it possible for cores.
