Amd Cpu For Gaming

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X an outstanding CPU. It is capable of any task either gaming or video editing. For the price this is the best production CPU I have tested. I highly recommend the Ryzen 9 5950X.

I'll start by saying I have over the years gone back and forth between AMD and Intel with whoever has the best CPU at the time for my gaming habits. This later also expanded into some stuff like video editing and streaming from time to time. Though I still use my system for gaming 95% of the time. That said I also love to build PC's and typically enjoy the higher end enthusiast builds. Because of this I have over the past 10 years been using Intel's HEDT motherboards like X79, X99 and now X299 chipsets. Currently running an X299 Asus Rampage VI Apex board I had originally purchased with an i9-7900X. Based on this I felt an easy and now cheaper upgrade to the i9-10920X CPU would be the best route. Yes there are better AMD CPU's out there right now, but Intel still does very well in the gaming performance. So since this was just a CPU swap out for me it was the best way to go I could keep everything else in my system as is. This motherboard has been rock solid and only 2 years old at this moment. I was not disappointed, this CPU works great out of the box. Has very good turbo features for those that don't know how to overclock. It will consistently run 2 cores at 4.8Ghz, 2 at 4.7Ghz, 2 or 3 at 4.6, and the rest at 4.5 down to 4.4. Using Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 software you can force older games that use typically 1 main core to use your strongest cores first for the extra speed. If the program/game has great multicore support then you have the 12 cores which really is plenty for gaming and enough for a good balance of production unless you crunch videos all day. OC wise I have only messed with it some so far but it's not hard to get this CPU to 5.0Ghz on all cores with what I am using, a Corsair H115i Pro AIO water cooler.

Best value AMD CPU for gaming (best overall for gaming by far IMO). You won't get hardly any noticeable FPS increase with the more expensive Vermeer chips so I chose this one. If you are doing more than gaming though then they can be very worth it. This 5600x is great and I am very satisfied so far. The stock cooler is pretty much good enough for most things as well but still something to think about upgrading if you are doing CPU intense things with your PC. CPU fan coolers are pretty cheap anyways.10/10 will be using this same CPU for the next person who asks me for help building a gaming/all around rig.

This AMD CPU is the best I have ever had. Does not run as hot as I expected.

Great CPU for gaming

AMD has ways been my go-to because of price... I have only ever built 1 Intel system and it was awesome but EXTREMELY expensive compared to my AMD builds.... It's performance was decently better, but didn't really justify the cost (IMHO). The release of RYZEN CPUs (all generations) have been spectacular. This CPU, in general, is phenomenal. I'm coming from a 6th gen i7 and the difference is night and day. I did OC a little bit, but went back to stock because F@H didn't like it. I can run F@H on full, play COD:Warzone on one display and RDP into my work rig on the other (RX 5700xt) without a hiccup. AMD has really made a huge improvement and even with newer chipset drivers, I've seen greater performance. If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with this guy... But.... The 10th gen it's are phenomenal as well and, now, comparatively priced. I recommend this CPU for budget workstation/mid-ranged gaming rig since the boards are significantly cheaper than on the Intel platform. AMD still has a long way to go, but they've made a huge step in the right direction and finally have a competitive stance against Intel.

this 8 core CPU is just great, whether for gaming or productivity.

Where to start....ordering was a breeze, delivery was fast. AMD is really just the best at the moment in my opinion. Using this for gaming and streams at the same time, still getting 140-160 FPS in PUBG,which is a very CPU heavy game. Still only using 70-80 of the CPU. Temps kept very cool with cooler master AIO.

Workstation / Gaming PC build - I have 4 VM running and playing a games at the same time. The cpu doesn’t even feel the workload. Keeping it less than 50% cpu load. Amazing I keep throwing heavy task at this machine and I am not stressing the cpu at all. Build. X570 motherboard 64 GB RAM AIO cooler Nvme drive Nvidia 2080 I was one of the lucky ones to get this at the launch. Shout out to the B&H support team. They are the best. Love this CPU. Wish I could of gotten the new AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT to go with my CPU. Either way. I am enjoying this build. Thank you B&H.

Works fast and great with 8 cores and 16 threads. Faster than my Intel 4770K 4 core CPU. Works great with my Aorus 570x ultra motherboard. Just update your motherboard firmware first from vendor website as AMD and vendor are always improving and upgrading drivers for CPU and Ram Memory. No complaints. Totally satisfied with AMD and also B&H has been awesome too with their service and delivery. Thank you AMD and B&H. :)
