raid FPS crashes hard during encounters with a lot of particle effects (even on low)
talking like ~30 fps
valdrakken also sucks
interesting, I wonder how much better the 7xxxX3D would be if you are hitting 30 fps in lows.
What settings and addons are you running?
Have a 5800x3d and if I crank everything up to max settings (AA settings too since it won’t switch by default) with some addons my fps can tank the mid 30s during world boss resets.
Hp bar and weak aura tends to be the worst offenders.
~edit 3440x1440 (ultra wide)

I’ve been very tempted by the 5800x3D but I feel like I should get the 7xxxx3d

13700KF reporting, even in huge raid bosses it rarely dips below 60fps

Can’t really say what’s going on since i still don’t know your settings and know a few addons shown.
What I’m trying to get at is, the 5800x3d will be a good jump in maintaining higher lows, but you’re going to have to lower some settings and potentially tweak your add on usage to maintain greater fps.
Also being melee lowers your fps cause you get to bear the brunt of the boss farting in your face
i tank so yes i have to stand in the all of the particle effects yall are tossing at the bosses ;_;
much better single thread performance than a 5800x i’d imagine
You can always do the unethical route and test the 5800x3d from Amazon and if it doesn’t improve enough you can always… return it
I saw a fairly big jump going from the 5900x to the 5800x3d. I was averaging 30fps with the 5900x during the pre patch/pre expansion and went up closer to 50-60. Also broke even so I kept the 5800x3d
we are the same person
I mean someone would be happy with an open box price if they return it without destroying the box lol

I also play on a ghost town server so there’s that too
Blizzard never released a Benchmarking tool or have a record game feature to get accurate results without too much variance these features are needed. People have tried Griffon runs as a benchmark but it also doesn’t tax the CPU that much especially if you turn down draw distance. I found with new hardware in relation to WoW the best bet is to look at Overwatch benchmarks I think OW was forked from the same engine. The actual numbers won’t be helpful but is a good indicator or relative performance.
join LFR raid, set graphics at ultra, take benches during high dmg point (high particle effects) in scripted boss encounter
join LFR raid, set graphics at low, take benches during high dmg point (high particle effects) in scripted boss encounter
join full server take valdrakken benchmark at peak hours
Good ideas for benching
that said…in practice i have to turn all that stuff off or my chance of death increases like 200% 
different custom engines, overwatch uses the old Titan engine that they renamed prometheus or something like that
HoTS uses a modified SC2 and they are the closest two blizzard games to use the same engine
WoW’s engine was build off of Warcraft III (as was SC2) but has been heavily modified since that time unless we are talking about classic.
that said they may have similar “ballpark” results to similar hardware in benchmark testing, Ive never compared the results of the two games in benchmarks against one another.
End game raiding taxes the system but it’s nothing compared to TM. Large scale PVP brings hardware to it’s knee’s like no tomorrow. If you engage in Ashran when two armies meet you’ll see how your hardware fares. TM still takes the top spot though.
