I got an R7-5800X3D to prolong the life of my platform and therefore, generate less e-waste. It's plenty fast enough for any game on the market so it was definitely worth it.
So far it looks like the reverse of the GPU survey where AMD had one-third of the TPU reader base. Now its one-third Intel CPU users and two-thirds AMD CPU users.
Yeah... funny how that works, eh? Also, if we were to think about ten years ago, it would've probably been about 80% Intel and 20% AMD. You never know what's going to happen in this industry and that's what keeps it interesting!
currently everyone in my family with a gaming PC (three people)
run a 5800X3D with different RDNA2 GPUs (6750XT, 6800XT, 6950XT)
That's cool but it also makes me curious... what do you do with your i7-13700K build? That's an amazing gaming CPU as well!
Imagine running Intel in 2023...

Intel 13th-gen is perfectly fine.... for people who have their roof covered with solar panels.
My 3600 is still serving me fine. The 5800X3D is neat, but I can’t justify the cost of an upgrade for any of my current use cases. I may do a new build sometime next year or later this year and pass my current system to a relative though. They are still using a Phenom II system.
Heh, yeah, I just upgraded my mother's PC from a Phenom II X4 940 with an HD 6450 to an FX-8350 with an RX 6500 XT. For general PC use, modern parts are way overkill.
I thought the X3D in the CPU name mean't it came with 3D V-Cache?
Yep, that's right.
I'm gonna need a real good excuse to pop for a 5800X3D as I'm not held back by the 5600 just yet. I'm waiting for bugs and price reductions to settle out for 2023's bigger games so the CPU demands for some of those may end up being that excuse.
That just means that you're smart. There's no reason to upgrade if what you have does what you want it to.
3600 here, I may get a 5800X3D later. 5600X3D would be nice but sadly it's an USA-only SKU.
According to Hardware Unboxed, the performance delta between the R5-5600X3D and R7-5800X3D is the same as the price delta so we're not really missing out on much.
I...lost all sense & have ended up with a 7800X3D & 4090 running on a 42" LG OLED TV on my desk. I have a problem!
Sounds like a pretty nice problem to have!
Intel here, in the minority.
Hey, if it works, it works, eh?
5600x. The 5800x3d was tempting, but I only would really need it for HLL and Squad (poorly optimized games). I'd rather save the money and effort for the next build.
That's good advice. No point in getting what won't help you.
Still using my 12100F since 2022 february, its enough for my current use case so its gonna stay till 2024 or so and then maybe pick up a Raptor Lake refresh 14400 or a second hand 13400.
If it does what you want it to, that's all you need!
7900X3D. Upgraded from a 5800X3D. Paired with a 7900XT with a 4K 144hz panel gives stellar performance.
Yeah that would give stellar performance! You and I are reversed because I have a 5800X3D with a 7900 XTX.
If the GPU landscape wasn't so horrible I would've pulled the trigger on a new build with a 5800X3D earlier this year. Instead, I upgraded a handful of components (SSDs, fans, quieter PS) in my 6 year old i7-7700K + 1080 Ti rig.
Hey, for most games, an i7-7700K with a GTX 1080 Ti is still more than enough. People forget that the GTX 1080 Ti has 11GB of VRAM which means that it's only limited by it's GPU horsepower and it has plenty of that!
Yeah. Even with the latest bios for my mb, I get random usb disconnects.
I know the fix for that. You just have to update your chipset drivers. I had similar problems with my 990FX motherboard back in the day. The chipset drivers have a direct effect on the USB ports because USB is part of the chipset.
It's a quick-and-easy installation package that works for A320, B350, X370, B450, X470, A520, B550, X570, X570S, A620, B650, B650E, X670, X670E using Windows 10 or Windows 11:
->AMD Chipset Driver Link<-
That should solve all of your problems just as it solved mine.
(Till the 1080 Ti dies haha)
