Test of Ryzen 7800x3d on Tf2
Resolution: 2560x1440
Config: Mastercomfig High Preset
Hud: Improved Default Hud
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 OC to 1865 MHz
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d OC to 5.05 GHz all core 5.3 GHz single core
[quick note: fclock is also set to 2100 MHz as opposed to its default setting of 2000MHz for more synchronous operation with the memory controller]
Memory: 32Gb (2x16) DDR5 @ 6200MHz cl28-36-36-36 (tightened secondary timings as well)
[This overclock was achieved by the use of the PBO2 tuner with a negative offset of 50. A manual clock speed override was also set to +250 MHz in order to achieve 5.3 GHz in single core as the maximum frequency from the factory for this chip is 5.05 GHz]
OS: Windows 10 Home
I've conducted these tests first using the provided demo file from the benchmarking forum, then 4 other demos I recorded myself to compare with my old system detailed below.
Ryzen 7 3700x PBO Enabled
RTX 3080 OC to 1865 MHz
Memory: 32Gb DDR4 (4x8gb) @ 3200 MHz cl16-18-18-36
All tests were run 3 times then averaged out to eliminate any margin of error

2639 frames 9.358 seconds 282.01 fps ( 3.55 ms/f) 21.609 fps variability
2639 frames 9.347 seconds 282.33 fps (3.54ms/f) 21.123 fps variability

[These are now my own tests using 3 different demos on 3 different maps, Badwater, Harvest, and Dustbowl. I have recorded and averaged the time the benchmark took to complete as well as the average fps during the benchmark]
Badwater
3700x: 42 seconds 180 fps
7800x3d: 24 seconds 316 fps
76 percent improvement
Harvest
3700x: 32 seconds 140 fps
7800x3d: 18 seconds 246 fps
76 percent improvement
Dustbowl
3700x: 101 seconds 149 fps
7800x3d: 56 seconds 266 fps
80 percent improvement
Overall: the Ryzen 7 7800x3d is 77 percent faster than the Ryzen 7 3700x in Team Fortress 2 according to my testing.
This confirms my assumption that Ryzen 7000x3d would be very well suited to tf2 due to its sizeable L2 cache and enormous L3 cache as well as its high clock speeds which help diminish the lackluster code optimization and therefore performance.
