It was only Asus mobos catching fire with the 7800x3d... because Asus wrote a bad BIOS that allowed people to set basically unlimited voltage on the CPU. 100% Asus at fault.

Yeah. Set my whole house on fire and escaped without a trace. Investigators said it was an electrical wire, so I still got my insurance money, but it was clearly arson.

Both of which the CPUs are not the x3d variant. This deal isn't for people who want the x variant CPUs.

They have a AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
ASUS B650E-F ROG Strix Gaming WiFi
64GB DDR5-6000
&
5600X3D (which is an exclusive CPU, that for gaming performance is basically the same as the 5800x3D), Mobo, & 16GB DDR4
Bundles as well.

It's just that the best combo deals are the 7700x & 7900x, same with the 12th gen Intel bundles, hell they're such nice deals that they are basically the original MSRP for the CPU's, with free Mobo & RAM.

The 7700x bundle costs less than just this CPU deal alone.
And just in general it turned out that the 7800X3D ended up being the better option for gaming over the more expensive 7900X3D & 7950X3D variants anyway.

Yes, good looking out. I realized that about a minute after posting and edited. It actually seems to make this a pretty good deal.

Is the 7800 X3D the better deal for gaming?

I use MS FS 2020 most of the time and want the best FPS in highest resolution.

Thanks.

Ironically X3D does nothing in Starfield, and the 7900x3D and 7950x3D performs worse than the far far cheaper 13600k in it.

7800x3d is supposed to be better for gaming, and is cheaper as well. The 7800x3d has 8 cores and all all 8 have access to v-cache. The 7900x3d has 12 cores but only 6 of them have access to v-cache. Since games have a huge impact due to v-cache, 7800x3d is supposed to be better. Moreover, for better or worse, since all current gen consoles have 8 cpu cores, almost all games are designed to use only a max of 8 cores (there might be some exceptions but they are rare). Most games show hardly any difference when going from 6 cores to 8 cores. So 7900x3d might perform the same as 7800x3d. Or it might perform worse if cores without v-cache get used.

Basically if you are concerned with only gaming, 7800x3d is a far more sensible choice. You don't have to worry about parking half the cores (lest non-x3d cores get utilized) and it's cheaper. If you have a mix of gaming and productivity requirement, 7900x3d might be the better buy.

7900x3d is clear and away the top gaming processor, period.
I think most people would disagree. For only gaming at least, 7800x3d is the better choice due to it having 8 cores with 3D v-cache vs only 6 cores with 3D v-cache on 7900 x3d

I think it's been mostly motherboard issues rather than CPUs that made these catch fire and I think they got them worked out by now
Guess I'm glad I decided to stick w/ X570.

I remember that store, I loved that store (assuming its still the same since I visited on weekend liberty while stationed in California many moons ago)

Way way better than the Best Buy and stuff we have here in Florida.

But yeah not quite as good as Micro Center as far as the deals go.


This is the CPU I would want for a new build right now, but TBH I am going to wait for the 5000 series GPU's as the 4000 series is just not worth it to me, and I prefer to build a whole new system all in one go rather than plan to upgrade bits and pieces over time.

It used to be worth upgrading just a CPU back in the day for encoding workloads, but now the GPU is doing all the heavy lifting and is the focal point for most builds.
Frys sold other stuff like AV equipment. They had really good speaker, receiver, TV deals.

It's a right tool for the right job kinda thing. If you want something that does gaming almost as well as the 7800x3d, but is much better at productivity tasks (blender, Handbrake etc.), the 7900x3d is indeed the better buy. But if you almost never (or very rarely) perform productivity tasks, and are building a PC purely for gaming, 7800x3d is a better buy.

If you want something that'll do gaming as well as 7800x3d, but can handle productivity as well, you can get the 7950x3d. But then that's a $700 MSRP product.

The 7800x3d is a specialized one-trick-pony chip. But it's the best at that one task. The 7900x3d is a more well-rounded chip, but for that one specialized task (gaming), it is in fact worse than 7800x3d.
