To 3D V-Cache or not to 3D V-Cache? That is the question.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 was released this month and offers never-before-seen performance. In our launch day coverage of the RTX 4090, some readers pointed out that there might be some performance left on the table, because the Ryzen 7 5800X in our GPU test system wasn't the latest and greatest CPU available. We investigated this in more depth in our RTX 4090 & 53 Games: Ryzen 7 5800X vs Core i9-12900K article.
The review we're posting today serves as follow up to that testing. A lot of people have asked "but what about AMD?," "I can haz 5800X3D plzplz"—so here we go.
In these mega benchmark articles, which we call "TPU 50" internally, we're looking at interesting match-ups, be it graphics cards or processors, and compare them directly in a 1 vs 1 scenario. Roughly 50 games is double the number of games from our main graphics card reviews, which have 25. In this particular article, we are putting the GeForce RTX 4090 "Ada" through a massive 53 game tests, using our current graphics card test system, which is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core/16-thread "Zen 3" processor, a machine we've been using since last year. This machine goes up against a Ryzen 7 5800X3D config, using AMD's 3DV Cache stacking technology, which places an additional processor die with 64 MB of L3 cache in the CPU. Our original Ryzen 7 5800X3D review has more technical details.
