7950x3d destroys the 7800x3d in all cases. I’ve yet to find a single game or program that can’t be made to run circles around a 7800x3d.

Hell the other day I was running a 720p to 4k ai enhanced upscale on some video while playing a game at a rock solid 4k120 lol. I used process lasso to lock the upscaler to ccd1 and the game to ccd0 (game was already but why not)… It’s genuinely impressive

Hah! Ok so now my 7950x3d is bombing along at 5.4 CCD0 & 5.9CCD1.

DDR5 IS AT 6800mhz CL22-22-26-64 and riding that stability line like a champ considering the kit isn’t that great.

My 4090 is also stable at +310 core +1150 mem so it’s basically pegged at 3200mhz core anytime there is load and the max temp on it was 70c in the memory and that’s when my room was insanely hot from a 48 hour full load CPU/GPU stress test. Highest CPU temps were 67c with highest core temp at 58c!

I’ve passed the 20% performance gains I was originally after and I honestly don’t know how it’s stable lol

7950x3d isn’t bad, but would certainly say it is better tailored to someone who has specific reasons of wanting it and willing to deal with fiddling with settings to get the most out of it.

Process Lasso will do the trick there. I set everything Windows is running to ccd1 and then I change games to ccd0 but you have to change both affinity and sets since some games ignore affinity and there are some that manage to ignore both but usually they are older and it’s not as important with them.

I’ve been overclocking my 7950x3d and I have the cores with 3d vcache running at 5.5ghz although I think I could push them further since my CPU temps after an hour under an all core load was only 56c. My “performance” cores are all overclocked to 5.8ghz and my infinity fabric is running at 3300mhz because my ddr5 is running at 6600mhz CL28-28-30-70 @ 1.437v. I think I can push it up to 7000mhz and remain stable but my 3rd attempt at better timing caused a stability issue and I used the 1usmus Hydra ram calculator to set the timings to “ideal” but my timings ended up being better.

Ill tweak them some more tomorrow, I’m absolutely positive I have headroom on the CPU and memory not to mention the GPU which is a MSI 4090 with +170 core +900 mem but I also have plenty of wiggle room there too and I think I can get away with +220 core without any kind of power mods and I’m not doing one of those with the garbage 12v power cable nVidia is using.
