Planning on buying 7800X3D for MSFS? Consider the 7900X3D

“As long as half the cores stay parked, the 7900X3D will be at a disadvantage vs the 7800X3D.”

They don’t have to. I have a 7950x3d and don’t use gamebar. It’s all right there in the bios. You select “Cache” for your CPPC and it will run on the V-cache cores with preference, but not restricted to.

@TwoRealist

It only has 6 cores on the x3d side so it already is a worse gaming cpu pure core wise

It has a lot more per core L3 cache as well. In fact it has the most per core

@TwoRealist

“I guess I have to start the game via the game bar app instead of the short cut I have on desktop.”

Wrong

@TwoRealist

“AMD provides either a driver or a tool that basically detects if a game is running and sets its affinity so it only can use the CCD with the 3D cache to avoid issues.”

Not needed

Might know a thingy or two. This thread has a lot of info. 7950x3d Benchmarks for MSFS 2020 - #931 by MrTonySM
