Yeah this is what I want to know - what am I going to see at 1440p and 4k. I have the exact same chip as you and considering the exact same upgrade...I don't really care about 1080p gaming.

For reference, the last time AMD beat Intel in gaming was more than 14 years ago, before the launch of Core 2 Duo.

I was able to preorder a 5950x with b&h thanks to people mentioning it here. So thanks. I've never had a b&h preorder. Any chance this doesn't go through?

i see the charge on my CC. Fingers crossed they can fulfill the order In a timely manner.

I get there is a lot of apprehension and excitement but I don't believe there will be anywhere near the stock issues at launch or coming weeks like Nvidia with these.

AMDs 7nm yields have shown to be strong and there isn't anywhere near the change and sexiness of new CPUs on a years old platform in some cases verus Ampere and RX6000.

I have no idea how many they're getting, but I imagine they got a lot of orders since it's been up for a bit. But worst case you get put on backorder. I would be up at 6am PST just in case if you want one potentially faster.

For those who went with B&H, consider continuing to attempt to get a chip until it ships, a lot of people still haven't received their GPUs from them.
They take massive backorder lists which is why shit is up forever.

I thought that, but for UK, just looking at Ryzen 7 5800x since it is the one I want:
US MSRP = $449
Add 20% VAT = $538.80 = £415.62

So anything close to that is okay I think.
Currys have it for £420...... soooooo.....

Oh yea that's right. I thought the £ price I quoted was with VAT. But it wasn't.

I gotta say, no retailer here even listing any of the Zen 3 CPUs is kinda unnerving, lol. I really hope they'll be there this afternoon...

i think i managed to a 5950x from b&h, i got charged on paypal at least. thing is it wont show import fees like amazon does. amazon charges around 25%, so i might pay 1000 usd for this shit lol.

I just ordered it from B&H and I am from Canada. It comes up with tax and duty (free shipping) to 1253$

Got charged instantly on my CC. Now the waiting game has begun.

preordered the 5900x on B&H. I'll be upgrading from a 1600. Hoping the upgrades gonna be worth the cost of a new build.🤞🏽I'm gonna pair it with a RX 6800 XT if I can manage to secure stock

Are you talking about the 5800x?
Digitec has some 5600x, but it seems no 5800x or 5900x

5800X yeah... i really hope to not miss it... i already missed the 3080 and had to pay more to get it... Also i checked digitec and they don't have any 5600 in stock either

i have no idea where to check, steg, pc ostschweiz, digitec, none of them have anything and they don't know anything either when i called them

Wait.. why is the 5800x almost on par with the 5900x?

5900X is 6-core + 6-core CCXs with a 100Mhz boost over 5800X. If the scheduler is working properly a game shouldn't need to jump out of the 6-cores much and the clock bump negates any small latency penalty when it does probably.

I need convincing to buy a 5600x now and not wait another year for AM5.

I'm on a 3770k - at 4.6Ghz. I have a 1080. I try to play at 1440p (almost never at 1080p cause too blurry).

What kinda gains should I expect here?
