    I had recently upgraded to a 4080 graphics card and was using an i7-11700k. I was noticing stutters and GPU utilization not maxing out in quite a few games so I decided to switch to an AM5 platform. The difference with this CPU was night and day and I am no longer seeing the stutters and obviously the GPU is being fully optimized now. This is among, if not the best, CPU for gaming that you can get right now.

    I recently purchased 7 7800x3d. Call of Duty runs very smoothly, with noticeably faster load times and stable frame rates. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this upgrade and would recommend it to gamers who want top-pier performance.

    Did what i hoped it would do. Had 5600x but wanted something stronger. Moved from AM4 to AM5, to future proof a little. Do Iracing and Msfs 2024 primarily. Using same gpu, fps picked up some, but what impressed me more was on how smooth computer ran, using my Quest 3. Lets see what the future holds.

    There really isn't anything better on the market when it comes to building a gaming PC. Are there better processors available? Yes. But they are obscenely priced and this one will go toe-to-toe with those when it comes to raw gaming performance and achieving maximum FPS. Computer stability has been perfect with this CPU paired with 6000mhz DDR5 from Corsair. Did I mention it was FAST???

    Ripping fast in games. Very competent in productivity apps. Right now it's tough to beat this processor for its value and it's 3d Cache, which can burn through CPU intensive games.

    The value you get out of this chip is insane. As a point of reference, I'd upgraded from a 3700x. My GPU is a 3080ti, so in most newer games I was CPU limited. I easily see an increase of 20% to even 60% (!!!) in my frame rates when gaming. I play a lot of Star Citizen, the primary driver for this upgrade, and I went from an average of 15-25 FPS with terrible 1% lows to getting a minimum of 45 FPS and even up to 100% outside of the city areas. If you're a couple generations behind, run to get this chip! It is well worth it.

    I absolutely love this CPU. Has super great gaming performance and draws so little power to do so. Its rated at 120 watts but under a gaming load it hovers around 55w at most.

    Product is great. I am just disappointed with Best Buy’s lack of transparency regarding my partial refund. I got this item on a discount and had to jump through a lot of hoops to find out if received the discount or not.
