DocSigma Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I put my 3900x into my daughters build with the intention of replacing it with a 5900X. It’s impossible to find a a 5900X at its list price and it looks like it’s play the lottery or wait till July when stock might appear. Is it that much if a hit if I just went with a 5600X? I don’t do intensive productivity stuff or do I stream on my system anyway. I’m thinking no but just wanted to get done thoughts before committing. Thanks.

Strong05 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Right now for gaming the 5600X should be better then a 3900X due to clock speed and IPC. It really depends on the game though and how well it takes advantage of more cores. Most games don't benefit much from more then 4 cores with hyperthreading, however this paradigm is shifting ever so slowly in the industry. If you aren't doing productivity or streaming Gamers Nexus recommends the 5600X he believes you really don't need the extra cores, but this also takes into consideration cost. All that said, I doubt you will see much difference in DCS between these two CPU's. 1 5800X3d, 32GB DDR4@3400, 6800 xt, Reverb G2, Gunfighter/TMWH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3PO Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Same here - wanted a 5900X but went with the 5800X. In gaming benchmarks, no difference. And do you really need those 12 cores v 8 cores? Same memory controller too, so less bandwidth with 12. 1 Now: Water-cooled Ryzen 5800X + 32GB DDR 4 3200 RAM + EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra 24 GB + Reverb G2 + Add-on PCI-e 3.1 card + 2x1TB Corsair M.2 4900/4200 + TM HOTAS Warthog + TM TPR Pendular Rudder 'Engaged Defensive' YouTube Channel Modules: F/A-18C / AV-8B / F-16 / F-15E / F-4E (when it lands) / Persian Gulf / Syria / Nevada / Sinai / South Atlantic Backup: Water-cooled i7 6700K @ 4.5GHz + 32GB DDR4 3200MHz + GTX 1080 8GB + 1TB M.2 1k drive & 250GB SSD drive 500MBps 4K 40" monitor + TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSigma Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thanks appreciate it. I’m leaning towards the 5800x so I mayPull the string and in that.

Sn8ke_iis Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My local Microcenter has 5600X and 5800X in stock. From the benchmarks I've seen the 5900x seems to be binned a little better but not enough to pay a scalper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSigma Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 I went with the 5800x and am quite pleased with results. I think I lucked out on the silicon lottery, but in DCS the cpu is boosting beyond the rated 4.7 it’s marketed as. I see it getting up to 4.8+ on the F32 bios.
