    The 5800X3D is significantly faster than any other AM4 processor in EDO and EDO will still be CPU/platform limited with a 5800X3D paired with a 7900 XTX in surface CZs, some settlements in general, or just about anywhere at anything less than 4k maximum. It's not, unless one avoids large...

    Has anyone tried Ryzen 7 5800X 3D? Any better for VR ED

    The system I normally play on, though only rarely with my WMR head set, has gone from a 3900X, to a 5800X, to much faster memory on the 5800X, to a 5800X3D and I saw significant improvements each time. If your GPU is ever less than fully loaded, the 5800X3D will help, and probably a lot in some...
