Do NOT Buy a Ryzen 9 7950x3D 

I got the CPU around 2 weeks ago and my experience has been completely contradictory to the claims made in this video. I'm not even using Process Lasso. No shade to the people who do, I understand it's fairly popular to use with this CPU. But before I messed with any of that I wanted to test this the way AMD intended for it to be used. So I didn't change them other board setting to have it favor the frequency cores, the only thing I did was install the AMD motherboard drivers and make sure that my game bar was up to date. It also turns out that you have to use the balanced power setting. Of all of the games I tested on it, one failed to correctly run on the cache cores. That may have been a glitch because I haven't seen that happen again. So in my experience everything said in this video is wrong. And I don't know what to make of that. It sounds like when this chip was first released there were some problems with the drivers that potentially cause problems. But this video was not made at the time of release of this chip. It was made one month ago. Reading various forums about this chip, it does seem that some people have had problems getting it to run properly. I don't really know what's going on there, I wonder if they might not be choosing the correct power plan. Or maybe it's possible that the AMD drivers aren't always installing correctly. But my system was far from an ideal, this wasn't even a fresh install, I put an old installed Windows that had previously been running an AM4 system into this system. If you want to say that some people are having problems, fine. But to say that the chip simply doesn't work right and that games absolutely do not allocate correctly to the proper course, that's simply false. I went into this expecting that it may take more work to run it effectively, but so far it has been largely trouble-free.

me on 7950X3d watching this .. lol

I picked up a used 7950x3d for $380. I couldn't resist. It's a great cpu. It was an upgrade from my 5800X3d. I didn't need to use special setting or tools. Windows recognizes CCD with 3d vcache. I have never ran into any issues with programs choosing the wrong ccd

core parking issue has been fix, just configure your pc as it should be, install properly drivers and everything will be ok.

I have a 7950X3D and I dont adjust any settings and it runs very well in all games on 4K ( 3840x2160) with my 4070Ti and 2x32GB 6000Mhz CL30 RAM. Disable SMT in BİOS and youl will see real performans of 3D V-Cache. Using SMT with a 7950X3D is stupidity. Performance cores are enough all games and programs and productivity

Freaking love my 7950x3d all i did was enable expo put -15 all core in curve optimzer and it crushed every Benchmark I threw at it until Prime 95 I got 7 hours in and then worker 8 failed, so I went in and dropped core 8 to -10 in curve optimzer then ran them all again and did several 16 hour runs on prime 95 and it passed every single time no errors. Not to mention they seem to have fixed all the scheduling problems but I'm a micromanager anyway and already had a subscription of process lasso from before i switched from intel (because my 13900k had to be rmad and intel lost my trust) I use it just because i like the control. But i freaking love this chip.

If you think there are people who find process lasso a difficult app to use then they would probably only be able to use the PC for basic browsing and office tasks. These people would be content with a Ryzen 3 zen2 system that costs like $300 altogether or something similar. Why would they ever consider a 7950x or 7800x3d

- Play a game. - Window+ G to open Xbox game bar - setting and check ✅ "remember this is a game" Cores are parked everytime you play that game.. All my game i play are parked only the v-cache is active. Problem solved.

Love my 7800X3D

Oh wow, that's a strange coincidence LOL. I've never seen your channel before but I was just right now watching a tutorial made by you and right now you drop a video about the exact processor I'm thinking about getting. That's scary actually LOL. Anyways, I never overclocked ANYTHING, but I've seen people talking about how much easier it is nowadays with that PBO thing and whatever so I was thinking about getting the Ryzen 9 7950x3D and giving it a go with undervoltage -20 and stuff. Everyone else I saw before mentioned that it is a tiny bit worse than the 7950X in productivity, but they mentioned it is so little that it would not be noticiable, and when compared to the advantage of having the 3D cache (giving it works) that is still a great choice for someone like me who want's something that I can do both video editing and gaming with. Now you have me worried and I don't know anymore HAHAHAH

Yes, dual CCD x3d is not great. Only buy a 16 core x3d when 16 cores are on a single ccd - a 32 core x3d with single ccd x3d would have the same interconnect issues

i agree i noticed the same on my 7900x3d but i don't want to spend additional time on tuning actually the cpu works fine and it's ok but turning back i prefernto buy the 7800x3d

i got one a year ago or so, its incredible, core parking is flawless for me, all my games use the cache ccd, this was achieved with minor bios tweaks. nothing world ending. gaming performance is amazing

I heard that this Is not click bait but still...did you ever try the CPU itself? or is just a hit a run situation? don't know about this video very misleading, oh btw talking from a 7950X3D with a beefy X670-E MoBo :x

Thanks alot man, I have a 7900x and I did bought a 7800x3d to make a switch ended up returning it to amazon and bought in store a 7950x3d because there was a big sale on it, the box still sealed and was wondering how to optimized 3d cache and honestly I dont want to make this degree to just game, I wanted those extra core because I play alot of small games on the side while playing the big game or watching or reading stuff, but with what you said in your video Im doing a 180 and just still using my 7900x till there a real upgrade, the only thing I hate with this 7900x is that its too power hungry. btw continue to make non click bait video like this, you deserve my follow and like !

I bought the 7950x3d day 1 when it was released. It was really a shitshow when it first released, it was not working correctly and even considered changing to a 7800x3d. I discovered Process Lasso and it helped a lot. Months passed by and I thought I should try reinstalling it again, and see if AMD has fixed the scheduling. It was a struggle but I finally installed it the way it should work. I tried in all my games using my 7950x3d and a simulated 7800x3d (7950x3d with ccd 1 disabled) and they perform the same and I assume it will perform better than a real 7800x3d due to higher clocks. He is also correct, I would not recommend the 7950x3d to a plug and play user and even to a person with good knowledge on setting up PCs. This chip needs to be correctly settled up and finely tuned to make it work like it should. I can say Im pretty knowledgeable on setting up PCs but I spent around 2-3 days testing and reinstalling, searching for Reddit topics, techchannels and google searches and also doing different bios settings and driver setups, but the tech power up guide was the one that helped me a lot.

Bunch of yapping without showing any demonstration of the isshe. Jayz2c also did a lot of yapping, but he care enough to demo the actual issue with x3d cpu (and how to somewhat fix the problem).

Hi, Whats your thoughts on gaming and streaming? Which CPU? Thanks

Just disable non 3D Vache cores of 7950x3d in Bios after that it'll perform better than 7800x3d .

A total BS propaganda video. Everyone is pushing the 7800, but since the fixes to the OS and chipset drivers, there is zero reason to get the 7800.

This guy is stuck in 2023

If your’re not able to configure your Bios and OS is not cpu’s fault…

I wasn't going to but nice to be warned about it regardless.

I was considering getting it due to the 3D V-Cache, but I saw that it has A LOT of issues, so I just opted to "downgrade" to the 7800X3D. In my honest opinion, if you're strictly gaming, this is, and will be for a while, the best bang for the buck CPU out there.

streaming and gaming has been so laggy for me :( tried everything. never had issue in my old intel cpu.

It has boggled me for sum time why the 7800x3d outperforms the 7950🤨 U explained it good. Regedit tinkering with the forgroundboost (21 hex) got mine 7950 to performe better..in wz..not in any other games😅

Still better than 14900k in gaming and consume less

but 7800x3d Boxed price up, 450$ now in china，when 7950x3d Boxed in china now is 540$

do you know the difference between in PBO enhanced 3 and enhanced boost 3 ? in a MSI motherboard

how about you buy me one and i can test it out

I genuinly love your videos... even tho I dont have much time because I have to learn for school, in germany we call it "abitur" its the highest school certificate, going to graduate in 2026 and after that I concidered to study WI oder IT... but besides school I work during the holidays and spared my whole money for my dream pc... so yeah... Im not quiet sure, because I will 100% go for an rtx 4090, I saw your last video whether i should go for it or not, and since Im programming, I will... but when it comes to the cpus, I still couldnt decide, because the r9 7950x3d is a powerfull cpu but if Im not mistaken the 7800x3d is better since it uses 2 cache and the 7950x3d less, right? And also struggle with the case... lian li O11 evo... or nzxt h9 flow... or the nzxt h7 flow... the h7 looks more basic but yet beautiful af😅

I have a 7950x3d and im not having any issues

It’s heavily dependent on the games. Some games like Hogwarts Legacy and CS2 prefer the 7950x3D over the 7800x3D. I wouldn’t say overall in every game it’s worse. RPCS3 AVX-512 prefers the 7950x3D. I wouldn’t say this is useless.

I ended getting a 7900x instead of an x3d chip. I figured it would be more useful for multitasking and multimedia. I nearly got the 7800x3d or 7950x3d instead

Idk it parks the cores fine for me when I play games lol and it was not tricky at all lol there’s a bio gaming option to turn on and if it doesn’t detect the game open game bar and tell it that it’s a game

This been fixed long time ago! The first few months had to use process lasso but then it been fixed from windows and from bios update as well….. spreading wrong information

hello, do you have a vidéo, which talk about UNDERVOLTING RTX 3080 LAPTOP GPU ?

After win 11 uppdate?

wallet safer, thanks!

mate you've completely overlooked process lasso, an application where you can make a profile for each game that disables 8 of the cores so it performs no differently to the 7800x3d. this is perfect for people that encode a lot while wanting the best for gaming. it's also easy to determine if a client has no clue or a little clue that's its not hard to explain process lasso. you may as well take down your video you're embarrassing yourself.
