CPU Upgrade, R7 X3D or 5800X ?

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hello,

I’m currently planning to upgrade my processor for my project, as I can’t run cloth simulations without my PC dropping to 10 fps.

From what I’ve read, the R7 X3D series is more optimized for gaming rather than content creation. Do you think a Ryzen 7 5800X would be a good fit? I’m not working on photorealistic scenes, but I’d like to run some light cloth simulations. I’m also considering upgrading to a 5900X later if needed.

Thank you.

Hello there @SUNNY8!

For cloth simulation in UE, or anything related to chaos physics, both CPU and GPU will be critical. Checking through the community, the top suggestions are:

CPU: 5900X or i9-10900K
GPU: RX 6800 XT or RTX 3080
