APEF10EOFYPRESALE

Don't think it's been this cheap since launch, mostly posting so someone can tell me why it's terrible purchase.

Requires afterpay and using both codes.

Was also recently ~$816 via amazon with included discount: https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0DKFMSMYK

Also ~$70 cheaper for OEM version on AliExpress but local/amazon warranty probably worth the difference: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/907064

Found via PGrid: https://www.pgrid.com.au/cpus/ryzen-7-9800x3d

    It's a terrible purchase! /s

    Jokes aside, it's not great value to be fair. But if you want the best gaming chip, it's the only option! I reckon a ~600 dollar 7800X3D is probably the better buy though, given performance difference in most games is 5-10% at most.

    Even more still if you wanted to be more budget but still make the jump to AM5, the Ryzen 7700 Ali Express deals can't really be beaten!

    Edit: Metrocom eBay have the 7800X3D with APEF10 Code 10% off for $629.10.

      Yeah considering you can get an Intel 14900x for cheaper with more threads which would give better performance on my development/media workloads, it feels stupid paying $100-$300 extra for the L2 cache on this, but I bought a 4K monitor recently and wanted the extra gaming performance with the X3D

        The extra cache is useful for development/media workloads as well, don't assume it's only good for gaming.

        • ozbargeofconvicts on 04/06/2025 - 17:35

          Yeah certainly, but for thread optimized workloads like video editing or 3D rendering the extra threads/cores on the Intels really make a difference.

          No it's not. Testing at 1080p is the right way to showcase a CPU's performance as it removes the GPU bottleneck.

            @combatant: Technically that’s correct. But it has led to people believing those gains translate to 4k gaming which they don’t.

          You’re just showing that you don’t understand the nature of their testing. All higher end CPUs perform similarly when the GPU is the bottleneck.
          1080p is the correct way to benchmark a CPU

          CPU not mattering for 4K display output is an outdated concept by years, and even if it wasn't, 1080p is still how you bench CPUs.

          We all use upscaling at 4K, which means my native resolution is… That's right, 1080p (performance) (or 1253p (balanced), and a handful of games 1440p (quality)).

          The X3D parts are just as valid at 4K.

            @BradH13: Have you seen gaming performance comparisons at 4k for these chips? The differences are actually negligible.

            Testing at 1080p is fine, but it’s leading to consumers using these differences to justify purchases for 4k gaming where the GPU is the bottleneck.

              @winaxter: Depends on the title. For some the difference is negligible, for others it's significant.

                @combatant: Bit misleading to call a 10% difference at most significant, the majority of games will still be GPU bound at 4K and even when it does matter it still performs within 10% of the 7800x3d. You're straight coping if you tell me you could notice the difference between the 2 chips at 4k

                • combatant on 04/06/2025 - 20:23

                  @ilikegengar: Like I said, depends on the title and settings. But agree there's a bees dick in it for most.

            • BradH13 on 04/06/2025 - 20:27

              @winaxter: You just skipped almost all my comment and what I'm about to say was already covered in my first comment, and is the truth.

              Native 4K CPU performance, which almost no one, even with the gear, uses, means almost nothing.

              Most upscale, and the base resolution that it is upscaling from is what is leveraging the CPU, not display output resolution.

              If you're still confused, 2160p output with 'performance' upscaling is a 1080p render.

              As someone who has a 4K screen and a 4080 who recently upgraded from 7800X3D to 9950X3D, I can tell you point blank, even those two chips had meaningful uplift that I wasn't even expecting (I upgraded for productivity reasons). Even when it's not noticeable in frame rate, the frame time consistency is better between those CPUs.

              • winaxter on 04/06/2025 - 20:47

                @BradH13: Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of differential CPU effects for native vs DLSS at 4k. I didn't have a lot of time when I sent my first response to you, but have looked at that specific point since.

        • iseeyou1312 on 04/06/2025 - 20:13

          Nope, because most people gaming at 4k are going to upscale from 1080p anyway with DLSS 4.

          There was a massive improvement going from a 5600 to 5700x3d with a 4070 Ti (1% lows increased by ~60%) at 4k with DLSS, even though at native the performance was virtually identical.

            @BradH13 @iseeyou1312
            I don't think upscaling is anywhere near as common as you think, most non technical users won't even know it is a thing 🤷

            I've been using a 4K screen for about a decade, and I've never once considered using upscaling, but I have run occasional titles at less-than-native resolution if I can't make the performance work at 4K.

            • BradH13 on 04/06/2025 - 23:57

              @Nom: Pinch of salt because NVIDIA marketing is the source, but NVIDIA say 80% of players with an RTX card of any generation/class use DLSS.

              The thing that makes me believe it a bit more is the fact telemetry is baked into GeForce Experience (now App) and they always know what settings in-game people are using.

              I'd also like to ask you why you don't upscale? I have a 4080 and wouldn't bother playing most games at the framerates that native rendering serves up these days. That and DLSS 4 usually looks slightly better on modern games (2024/2025) than native due to better anti-aliasing baked into DLSS, whilst performing better.

              • Nom on 05/06/2025 - 09:28

                @BradH13: The short answer is that my 40" screen is only 60Hz, and supports Freesync between 45Hz and 60Hz - so the native framerates mostly work out just fine 😁

                • BradH13 on 05/06/2025 - 12:50

                  @Nom: Yeah that's fair. I have 144Hz 4K GSync OLED so native is rarely an option for me as I don't have much interest in (sub) 60Hz.

    • DrScavenger on 04/06/2025 - 20:02

    What an absolute monster of a CPU, running this alongside the 5070TI and I can't believe how good it is. Incredible value . I wish I got mine for this price but paid around $860 Cheers

    • ozbargeofconvicts on 04/06/2025 - 16:13

      Yeah now I'm just waiting on a 5070 Ti deal with decent cooling on the board, most of the models I'm seeing posted have terrible plastic housing and no vapour chambers or limited heat pipes.

      Which did you go with?

      • tqqq on 04/06/2025 - 16:20

        I went with the PALIT 5070TI deal before on ozbargain with ebay plus. I managed to get it for sub $1200 with GST refunded. Its a great deal for the price. Roughly beats the 9070XT by 5-6% and I got it cheaper then it. I actually bought the reaper 9070xt powercolor for 1139 and flipped it for 1250.

        • ozbargeofconvicts on 04/06/2025 - 16:25

          Ah yeah I've heard mixed reviews on the Palits, the V1 gaming pro doesn't have the VPC cooling but looking at the deal seems you got the non-V1 with the VPC. Also a lot of mixed reports on fan noise with them.

          How'd you get sub $1200 and the GST refunded?

            @ozbargeofconvicts: It was 1375 and I used the macquarie marketplace gift cards to get 4% off which reduced it to 1320 and I got around a $137.5 refund from the 1375 invoice as I run a business making it 1180 or something. I tried stacking the topcashback but that didnt work pretty sure.

            honestly in terms of noise I cant tell anything hahah its super quiet running at 4k 200fps with MFG activated which is suprisingly very good. Temps around the mid 60s at best never seen 70. Fans are super quiet at all times as well. Its an absolute monster build and great bang for buck.

    • Freestyle on 04/06/2025 - 17:28

    • ozbargeofconvicts on 04/06/2025 - 17:28

      The code got applied automatically at cart for me, but trying again now it seems its no longer working.

      Tried combining APEF10 with SSNOW as well and it now says "You can only apply one voucher code to this purchase." which it wasn't when I tried earlier.

      $852.30 with APEF10

    I really don't at much difference between my 8700k and my 9800x3d :D

    CPU really doesn't make too much of a difference (paired with a 7800xtx)

    There is a quiet satisfaction that the hardware is up to spec though

    • ozbargeofconvicts on 04/06/2025 - 17:31
      +2

      Depends on what you're using it for but the 9800X3D does have ~50% performance over it, but the 8700k was great, used to have one as well.

      I mostly bought it for 4K gaming which is where the higher L2 cache makes most of the difference.

    • IgorRullez on 05/06/2025 - 09:59

      I have upgraded from a 9700K to a 7800x3d and the difference is noticeable, I can only imagine from a 8700K to a 9800x3d would be even more.

    • wisc on 08/06/2025 - 11:44
      -1

      Mostly in regards to gaming it seems to be in the frames range, rather than 10s of frames … I really should have benchmarked it more…

      I think the biggest issue is because the g95nc is such a high res monitor is really hard to push extra frames.

      But yeah, I should have specified as CPU intensive loads will crazy favour the 9800x3d

    Jumped to AMD 1700X from Intel 2700K, was extremely disappointed and experienced many bugs
    Upgraded to 3700X and got rid of most bugs, then they made AM4 obsolete
    Jumped back to Intel 13700K, then got told of all the Chips Issues
    Now thinking I just wait until 2026 to upgrade but not sure I can go back to AMD, not a gamer
