9800X3D first impression

Hi all,

setup my 9800X3D with 64 GB RAM at 6200MT - 30 - 38 - 38 and did some quick tuning of other timings as well. CPU set to -30 UV all cores. +0.150Ghz OC. Not perfect, but well enough as a starting point. On 7900XTX 4K, TSR Performance upscaling.

Just wanted to share some impressions of performance via some screenshots. Most of those screenshots are MainThread - bottlenecked, even though the CPU is neither at max clock (5.4Ghz) nor at 100% load most of the times, tried both PU and PTU. CPU never reached 100% load ingame for me, but hits 5.1-5.4 Ghz at times during CPU intense scenes. Tried to get screenshots when CPU usage/frequ was high.

Servers seem to be all over the place currently, had very smooth sessions but also bad ones, so doing good benchmarks is kinda rough, just wanted to put my first impressions here for y'all who are interested.
Switched from 5800X3D 32GB, smoothness improved and in certain scenarios decent FPS gains, overall 5800X3D is still a perfectly fine CPU for SC imo.

Bad graphics settings since i wanted the GPU to not bottleneck. All on DXD11, Vulkan has better performance for me but i had issues in PTU recently when using Vulkan so for now i switched to DX.

Feel free to ask questions.

Reaching Distro Center on Hurston. This Screenshot: 97 | Further away ~150 | Inside Distro ~90-100 | outside distro on ground ~70 FPS, heavily fluctuating depending on exact scene.
