Very good cpu for gaming but make sure if you use hardware monitoring software turn off gpu power % sensor it hurts performance.

Speed chip. Goes fast and hard for speeds. Oh, And it's fast. Big gamer time.

Hands down the best gaming CPU on the market and for good reason. This CPU is an absolute beast. Avoid ASRock motherboards with this chip though as there is still an unresolved issue after a year of them frying 3D chips.

Recently upgraded from a 5950x and it has worked amazing despite having less cores. Gaming and streaming has been great. FPS went up in game also.

Not the biggest upgrade from my Ryzen 9 7900X from 2 years ago, but I'm glad I did. Cooler temps and squeezing every bit of FPS I can out of the games I play. Yet again another great CPU from AMD. Easy to upgrade my motherboards BIOS and was up and running in 15 minutes.

Upgraded from a 5900x and got a decent boost in gaming

An absolutely Fantastic Chip. Runs cool and ideal for the gamer who doesn’t want to spend the extra money on the additional cores (in a perfect world we can all afford chips with more cores). If you’re a student or a professional who likes to game and do extensive projects (requiring the processing workload) then perhaps wait and get the ryzen 9 x3d chip when they come out

Good upgrade over the 5800X3D for gaming. Increased in frames per second at 1440 resolution. Still a bit of fluctuating on the fps during gaming on my 240mhz monitor. Upgrading my rtx4080 to an rtx 5090 for maximum fps on ultra graphics settings is the next goal.

Overclocks nicely. Temps are definitely better managed than the 7800x3d.

Just swapped my 7800X3D for the 9800X3D and the gains are ridiculous. 15-25 % more fps in CPU-heavy titles (CS2, Starfield, Flight Simulator) and still runs ice-cold at 62 °C gaming with a 240 mm AIO. The extra cache + higher clocks make it feel like cheating in 1080p/1440p competitive. Power draw is only ~88 W under full load – insane efficiency. PBO + Curve Optimizer took it to 5.45 GHz all-core without issues. Zero thermal throttling, instant EXPO 6000 MT/s CL30 stability. If you play simulation games or esports, this is literally the best gaming CPU on the planet right now. AMD outdid themselves again.

This is the best cpu I have ever owned put it in my pc and immediately improved my performance I’ve always had a cpu bottleneck my pc

This cpu made a huge difference in my 1% lows and overall frame rate. I used to get fluctuations when i had a 7800x3d but now its very solid and can handle much more. Quite possibly the greatest cpu ever made.

Thr Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a great processor, it seems to run cooler that my old Ryzen 9 3900x. The processor is easy to install, i used a AM5 plate to secure it, and more efficient thermal paste spread. I highly recommend this processor if you can find it Best Buy was the place I could find the processor in stock for retail. That is why I go to Best Buy for all my tech.

Best chip for gaming rens everything i throw at it

Loving the upgrade,came from a i7 14700k and this thing destroys it

amazing cpu. combined with a 9070xt i get crazy frames on games like cyberpunk and destiny

Lives up to the hype for best cpu for gaming. Going from an i5 14th gen w/ ddr4 to this was a significant upgrade.

Man i cant say enough, i can play 4K low/medium settings and hit 180+ FPS depending on the game. Its a beautiful fun experience. 4080 Super FE is my GPU and i have 16GB RAMx2 in case you need a reference.

I've been patiently waiting for the 9800X3D for years after upgrading to my previous 5800X. The performance screams, the feature set like precision boost overdrive and the Ryzen Master software are great, and the 3D v-cache makes this the fastest gaming CPU you can buy right nwo.

Best cpu so far imo! I had to think which should I get ry7 7800x3d or this. But I have to go with the higher one
