AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 Processor Hits End-of-Life

It depends on what GPU you have,what resolution you play at, and the games you play. For a 4080 OC, it might be worth it, although you are going to upgrade the mobo and RAM as well.

I have a 6700XT at 1440p and none of my games are CPU-limited, the 5800X3D is plenty for me for the next 4 years, even with a mid-tier GPU upgrade in the next few years.

I'm right there with you. And I've been able to play any of the new games with no issues. The 5800x3d was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm glad I purchased it.

It really is a great CPU.

And for anyone upgrading their AM4 PC today (Oct 18), the 5700X3D is the CPU to get for the price. I specified the date because 9800X3D will have details announced in the next few days and that may change the price-performance calculations for customers.

This CPU should be considered legendary. Like the i5-2500k was for it's time. RIP 5800X3D! I'll be enjoying mine until it's upgrade time, but I don't think that's any time soon

I hope my 5900x lasts me a good long while (which I'm sure it will) because I am not ready to spend $600 on new parts just to get the same performance on a newer gen.

Amen! I'm on a 5950x and just can't see the value in anything AM5 from an upgrade perspective. It's a dead-end platform due to AMD's awful memory controller, which I seriously doubt AMD will update just for the last CPU they are due to put on the platform, they should have done that with Zen5 and x870.

The thing is, unless their next generation desktop platform get more than 2(4 sub) channels of DDR5 or go for something else altogether, they would have a good reason to upgrade that to stay competitive, especially given the sudden demand on sequential memory bandwidth out of the left field, courtesy of AI.

Their memory controller is actually fine; It is their current IFoP infrastructure that made it mostly pointless to go above DDR5-6000, 6400 if lucky, and suffer the desync penalty for no bandwidth improvement.

Exactly. the 7800X3D is currently the best gaming CPU but it's not enough of an upgrade for 5800X3D owners to bother with

If "Zen5%" applies to the 9800X3D too, then my 5800X3D will soldier on for another generation because nothing worthy has come along yet to make it look old and slow.


Not quite true, the 5800X3D is matched pretty closely by a Ryzen7 7700, which is a relatively cheap CPU.

There are plenty of affordable B650 motherboards. Over here £110 gets you an mATX board with VRM heatsinks capable of handling the 230W PPT of Ryzen 9 CPUs, and they're hugely overkill for the little "65W" 7700 which is probably best set to about a 115-125W PPT for the best balance of performance and ease of cooling.

DDR5-6000 EXPO kits are much, much cheaper than they used to be. Whilst it's true DDR4 is cheaper still, you do save money on the CPU with a 7700 so that neatly offsets the slightly more expensive RAM. You said "affordable, so we're only talking 16 or 32GB kits which is a $/£/€15-30 difference between DDR4-3600 and DDR5-6000.

I dont disagree. However when doing the build going AM4 saved over $500. Regardless of performance on AM5 that was not in the customer's budget.

As a 5800X3D user myself, playing on a 49" 1440p Ultrawide(G9)(not quite 4k, but close) I plan on skipping AM5 entirely. From the looks of it, I'll GPU bound the majority of time even if I upgrade to a 5080 in the future.

I agree. The 5800x3d is great. I have no sense of upgrading at all. I had it paired with a blocked 6950xt then to a 4090. 1440p is what I run, and it really doesn't even burp when gaming. I see no reason to upgrade, kwm. People think to much, feel pressured into buying the latest hardware. Even going to a 7800x3d, so new mobo, ram plus the 7800x3d for a 20% increase. Thats not an upgrade to me especially when I get plenty of fps and the 5800x3d handles with no problem. I notice a lot of these vids they show performance "testing" n sh*t, like with the beta of monster hunter wilds saying it ran like crap, but check this out I just plugged in the 4090 2 days ago but I had beta access with the 6950xt ok and it was all set to high, some ultra and 1440 NATIVE, no FSR, no upscaling, I dont believe in it. I never use it. If you need to use it, it is because you dont have a strong enough GPU, plain n simple. But anyway, I never went below 65 fps with an average of 72 over a 2hr period but sometimes reaching 100! Like Idk what these guys are doing in these "testing" videos, but I had a great time with the Beta. I don't listen to a lot of these videos they put out based on the simple fact they are sponsored by companies to recommend new product. These articles, "5800x3d hit end life"! Like how the f**k do they come to this conclusion. Thats the same as saying the 12900k is at its end. Thats impossible because thats Intel's latest CPU cause the 14000s are s**t so it just blows my mind when you see these guys push this agenda, kwm. Anyway, sorry for blabn. The 5800x3d and AM4 is the best and people need to know it most certainly a great platform for CURRENT and AT LEAST a few more years of gaming. Drew from BeanieBro's.

Well you blame people for willing to buy the latest super duper HW yet you are the one who bought a 4099 lol)

anyway , I have a 5800x3d coupled with a 4080S and yes considering an upgrade because in some heavy multi player game or in VR I can tell I am cpu boundy

i'm using a 5800X3D + 7900 XTX and I see some games where i'm am CPU bound. But that will be fixed this month as i'm moving to AM5 + 9800X3D. I already have the new board just waiting on stock for Ram and CPU.

The 6950xt came out in May of 22, the 4090 Sept of 22 and the 5800x3d April of 22. I am 35. I have been into PCs since the 4790k and to say the 5800x3d is end of life, well I guess so is the 4090. Makes no sense. I game on specifically with the 5800x3d and have had no issues. It handles anything I throw its way. I run 2k and 4k, unless you are running 1080p, you will see a bottleneck with any CPU. I run Stalker 2 at 2k and the 5800x3d runs 30-40% utilization if that and that's running a OBS on KICK stream, Spotify, and Map Genie. Most PC players seem to have an imbalance in their system, like they have a good CPU OR GPU but a lot of the times they have a good CPU but running a 1080 card, yeah you will have issue's. Plus, they don't even clock any of their hardware. They just turn their system on and play. Especially with the 4090, I see these guys running test and the first thing I look at is the clock speed and every single one of them is running 2700+ which tells me they don't tune their GPU's, they run default. The 4090 is until the 50 series drop the most powerful GPU. Depending on the title, example Stalker 2 I don't even push boost clock, and I get better FPS than most these guys complaining not even the 4090 gets good fps in the title, well believe it or not sometimes pushing higher clocks speeds can have negative consequences. Running base clock speeds on the 4090 has netted me better results than overclock but I say this because of my build specifically the 5800x3d is my limit BUT I have found the lower clock instead of boost clock with the 5800x3d has gave me way better performance. The 6950xt overclocked has great numbers but even the underclocked 4090 still performs better. Anyway, I don't blame people for buying the newest I am saying it's not necessary. The 7800x3d was the greatest gaming CPU NOW it's the 9800x3d, 20-30% at 1080. Ok but 9 out of 10 most who buy that CPU will run 2k and up, so you won't see the performance gain as much if at all. You can't tell people they just have to learn. Spend a lot of money and be disappointed by the results multiple times and it might click.
