In a moment of madness, I replaced my Ryzen 5600X with a 5800X3D. This was a month ago and so far I'm not sure that I made the right decision. From a VR (sim) perspective, when I went from a 3600X to a 5600X cpu, the performance improvement was obvious - I could join an online AC race & not worry to much about stuttering it was a full grid (24 cars...if it was more, then I would have to turn off most of the apps to keep 90fps). In the VR games that I've tested so far, the difference seems to be much more subtle - more about the 1% lows than outright fps.
In all the reviews that I've seen, ACC, for example, comes out comfortably ahead of the competition:
Going from user feedback, it sounds like many are planning a final AM4 upgrade and you may be most interested in going all out on the 5800X3D,...

By way of contrast, using the (limited) benchmark in Assetto Corsa (2D), I found the results to be a tad underwhelming:
Same motherboard/memory (poor setup
) for all 3 cpus - the mins on the all the cpus vary from one test to the next.
Unfortunately, I didn't test the 3600X/5600X in VR using the AC benchmark when I had the opportunity - lack of foresight. I did, however, find a
review that confirmed what I was finding with a Steam
fpsVR app/tool:
In the few online (AC) races that I've done since owning the Ryzen 5800X3D, I've been able to run extra apps & the framerate (90hz - Samsung Odyssey+)/cpu frametimes give me hope that I won't run in to too many problems with large grids (I've given up with ACC & rF2 framerate is just shockin'
).
With some obvious limitations, here are some
early results using fpsvr:
I'm not sure how much impact car in the pit vis a vis those on the track has on game performance. I'd love to know. I'm sure it has some.
