Faceoff e01: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (8 Core) vs Ryzen 9 5950X (16 Core) Escape From Tarkov 1440P Comparison

In short, the 5800X3D is the easy choice if gaming is your primary use and especially if your main game is Escape From Tarkov. I used the same complementary hardware for both CPUs (specs below). The 5950X was overclocked while the 5800X3D was undervolted because these were the best methods I found for squeezing out the most performance out of each chip. I decided to exclude the FPS Min, FPS 1% Low, and FPS 0.1% Low values because the numbers were inaccurate from switching in and out of menus and alt-tabbing in and out of the game in raid. Due to PC hardware availability rising and prices falling, I’ve been receiving many questions about performance differences between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and competing CPUs on the market. Today I’ll be comparing the $449 (as of 8/2/22) AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs the $499 (as of 8/2/22) AMD Ryzen 9 5950X in terms of Tarkov performance in 2K, 1440P (2560x1440) resolution .
