Question Ryzen 7 5700x vs 7 5700X3D for Radeon 6750XT

[slick-rides]

I have no plans to upgrade the 6750xt GPU on this AM4 socket system. With that in mind, is there any reason to spend the extra money getting the Ryzen 7 5700x3d compared to getting the Ryzen 7 5700x ? By the time the gpu is no longer sufficient I will upgrade the whole system. Computer is only used for light gaming, but will be used for live streaming, video processing and/or editing, etc. No high end games are currently being played where maximum frames per second are monitored. Is the 5700x a bottleneck in anyway? Also like the fact that the 5700x runs cooler, less watts. Am I missing something that would make the 3D chip a better choice?

Forgot to mention the current cpu is a Ryzen 5 2600x on a b450 board. Looking to get another couple years before upgrading the whole platform.

No. Given your use case and details, there is no reason that would make this worth it IMO Especially not if you're only playing "light games".

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yes, you probably WOULD benefit greatly going from the 2600x to the 5700x. Greatly. Especially in the area of video processing. Like, 30% faster single core performance and 47% faster multithreaded performance.

Oh yeah, I'm going to upgrade the cpu. Just wasn't sure if the 5700x3d would benefit me in anyway compared to the 5700x. Even if I did get into 1440 gaming, wouldn't the GPU be the limiting factor with both cpu's?

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yes, most likely it would be, which is why it's unlikely unless you were playing very CPU intensive games, not "light" games, that one would offer significantly more than the other. Either of them is probably more than enough for that graphics card.

 

[slick-rides]

Thank you. Ordered the Ryzen 7 5700x. Only thing left to upgrade is the ram.

What is your exact board model? As you probably know, it's very important, and by far more so on Ryzen, to get a memory kit model that has been verified as compatible with your board model (And in some cases, not just the board, but the board and CPU combination) since Ryzen is very finicky about what it likes to play nice with. It's almost a necessity to get a kit that is either listed on the motherboard QVL list or on the memory manufacturers compatibility list and to date I think the only ones still that have one you can trust are G.Skill, Corsair and Crucial. There are also a few independent Ryzen compatible memory lists out there but I would not trust them nearly as well as I would the QVL or memory manufacturer's lists.

I don't know these things and really appreciate your advice. I don't see a QVL list for Vermeer core cpu's, only previous cores? The 5700x is listed as compatible though.

I'd like to get 32gb (2x16) and not interested in overclocking or getting into a bunch of settings. Most seem to recommend 3600mhz with changing bios settings. I'm fine with 3200 if it's plug and play.

 

[slick-rides]

These seem to be a match?

Hey there,

If you could stretch a few dollars to 3600 cl16 dimms, you' ill ensure your CPU and ram are running in synchronous mode, where the mem clock/infinity fabric clock and the mem controller clock run in a 1:1:1 ration yielding the best latency. This is for all Zen 3 chips.

Even though the motherboard and memory manufacturers only recommend 3200? Thanks

This would be my pick for ram.

So, AMD suggests that having the 3 aforementioned clocks running in that 1:1:1 ratio gives the best latency. 3600/1800 is the sweet spot in terms of the IMC( Internal mem controller). For Zen 2 CPU's it was 1600, which suites for 3200mhz ram(DDR). Now, with all of that said, AMD platforms are picky with their ram, but the Zen 3 parts and mobo's are very mature now, and can handle the speeds.
