Hitman 3 saw a 24% performance improvement from the 5800X to the 5800X3D when comparing the average frame rate and a 40% increase for the 1% lows. The Gigabyte Gaming 5 did lag behind a little, this time trailing the Asus X370 boards by around 8%, so I'd say Gigabyte has a little optimization work to do here. But the 5800X3D worked without issue, so in the grand scheme of things that's an amazing result on a 5 year old motherboard. Increasing the resolution to 1440p reduces most of the margins further, though interestingly the Intel CPUs are now slightly faster using DDR5, though the margins are very slim. Moreover, if going DDR4, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a better gaming CPU, offering greater performance while costing less. Not only that, but AM4 offers a wide range of motherboards and B550 is typically better than B660 in terms of features and build quality at the same price point. That is to say, if we were trying to get the most gaming performance possible, while spending as little as possible, the 5800X3D is your answer. Even if you want premium performance, the 5800X3D is a viable option as it matched the 13600K using low latency DDR4, and that was when pairing the Core i5 with DDR5-6400. Faster DDR4-3800 memory didn't help further though and the 12900KS with DDR5-6400 runs away with it, delivering 12% more performance or a whopping 27% more when looking at the 1% lows.
AMD unofficially supports ECC memory in most Ryzen CPUs. Unofficial support basically means it is not validated to work but should work in most cases.Cyberpunk 2077 isn't kind to AMD although over 100 fps is plenty for playing this game, and given it's not a competitive title you don't need hundreds of frames per second. The 5800X3D gains are pretty tame compared to other games, just a 15% boost, and DDR4-3800 didn't help further performance. According to AMD, Ryzen 7000 CPUs are better than their 5000 counterparts by up to 1.3 times in FP32 compute performance using AVX-512. Furthermore, AVX-512, with VNNI (Vector Neutral Network Instructions) support, provides up to 2.5 times better performance in Int8 operations. These improvements will massively enhance performance in deep learning applications. Based on testing by AMD as of 12/14/2021. Performance evaluated with Watch Dogs Legion, Far Cry 6, Gears 5, Final Fantasy XIV, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and CS:GO. All games test at 1920x1080 resolution with the HIGH in-game quality preset (or equivalent). System configuration: Ryzen 7 5800X3D and AMD Reference Motherboard, Ryzen 9 5900X and ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero with BIOS 3801. Both systems configured with 2x8GB DDR4-3600, GeForce RTX 3080 with 472.12 driver, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, NZXT Kraken X62, and Windows 11 28000.282. R5K-106
We recently compared the new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Intel Core i9-12900K flagship head to head in 40 games and found that overall they offer a similar gaming experience. Of course, they traded blows, Now for some FPS benchmark marks, we'll start with Rainbow Six Extraction. It's worth noting that after a 3-run average we did see a 4% performance variation between the MSI and Asus X570 boards with Asus delivering the best result. Let’s look at the gaming performance first. Keep in mind that all the gaming benchmarks are carried out at the same resolution ( 1920×1080). Another thing is that the presets are switched from game to game to get the best idea of performance differences in the games, which will be better represented by the mean FPS shown at the end. So as you may have guessed, the “extreme” variants have better features and, consequently, heftier price tags, with X670E being the top-of-the-line chipset. The short form is that both the E variants have the same number of PCIe 5.0 lanes, but B650E has a decrease in the number of maximum possible PCIe 4.0 lanes. The rest of the I/O connectivity also varies with each chipset, with B650 (and B650E) having half the number of USB 3.2, USB 3.1, and SATA ports.Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X CPU for general apps, you can expect good app performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Finally, here's a look at the 12 game average across the three resolutions tested and as you can see overall performance ends up much the same for the fastest memory configurations tested for each of these CPUs. Cost per Frame Analysis The motherboard used for testing is the old MSI B350 Tomahawk using the latest BIOS revision based on the AGESA 1.2.0.7 microcode, which enables Resizable BAR along with support for Ryzen 5000 series processors. Then we have 32GB of DDR4-3200 CL14 dual-rank dual-channel memory, and this same configuration was used for testing all Ryzen processors. The primary requirement for using unbuffered ECC memory with Ryzen CPUs that support ECC memory is that it must be used with a motherboard that supports such memory in ECC operation mode.
