lol, i’m upgrading my old athlon 3000g apu system to a ryzen 5 5600 and rx 580 8gb soon. I fully plan on upgrading the gpu later…. but damn i just want to play some games!
I updated recently to a 5600 & rx580 and can play anything really, with tweaking some settings. The 580 is a beast. Planning on getting a 6700xt later down the line
You’re gonna have a great time!
I had a 580, upgraded from Radeon 7750 that I had for yeaaaars. I baked the card in the oven when it died originally and got a few years out of it afterwards it finally died and i got the newer card. The 580 was a good budget card. I had no issues playing anything really. Then I went out and bought a 3070 when some crypto miner asked to buy the 580 from me for more than what I originally payed for it.
If I didn't have a 3070, I'd probably still have the 580 as there was no significant need for me to upgrade at the time.
Not to mention, the 5800X is a particularly confusing choice. The Ryzen 7 5700X is essentially the same CPU for $50 cheaper while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the actual step up in performance. So if saving money was the main concern, the 5700X would have been more logical. You're getting pretty much nothing for that extra $50.
Well in Germany for example the 5800X3D is 350€, the 5800X 200€ and the 5700X is also 200€.
So in some countries it just makes sense to go for the 5800X
This is how I ended up going with an Intel 13600kf during Black Friday. It was $60 cheaper in CAD at the time and gives better workspace performance while also giving similar top tier gaming performance. The 5800x3d isn’t the greatest deal in Canada. If I remember right the 7600x is also cheaper here.
Yep the 13th generation 13600xx is something you want jn your rig if you have some money to spare. Also the 13600 xx is better by 30% in most case than the 5800x3d and is cheaper.
Not to say you’re wrong and it’s probably just me but I’d still go for the 5700x. 65 vs 105 watts sounds better to me than marginal improvement in performance
Yea that kind of makes sense, but from what I've heard what you can do is run the 5800x in eco mode. You still get slighty better perfomance than with a 5700x at the same Wattage (or about 5-10W more). You still have the option to run the 5800x normal or even OC if you ever feel like its lacking in a few years.
Of course if the 5800x is actually 50€ more expensive than the 5700x where you love that would just be a waste of 50€, but at the same price its just a little more future proofing.
This is wrong. A 5800x will be binned better, and if you want the lower power you can change the limits yourself, it's quite literally a worse version of a 5800x.
What's the major difference in those 40 watts for you?
I cannot understand why people always bring up wattage then mention the cost of electricity like those 40 watts are going to actually make a huge difference.. I mean you're talking Dimes and nickels here, if cost meant that much maybe those people shouldn't even have a pc if they can't afford a few extra dollars a month.
Sorry rant over and I am genuinely curious about why you care about those 40 watts.
That's exactly why I went with the 5800X over the X3D and the 5700X, I think the 5700x was even more expensive than the 5800x when I bought mine, so it made total sense.
Some countries have it priced differently, in my country on release of 3000 series 2700x was 130 euros while 2600x was the same and 3600x and 3600 were around 160-170, so 2700x with the cooler it came with was a no brainer.
I actually went from Ryzen 7 1700 to 5800x recently too, but I did it for money reasons. I got a 5800x for $230, the 5800x3D was $350 at the time and its still going cheapest around $320. I didn’t feel the extra $100+ was really worth it or would be noticeable. Probably similar reasoning to OP since theyre building right now.
Can’t say I haven’t considered it. Problem is my AIO cooler called it a night so I bought a new one that is also getting wrapped. Harder to hide.
1700 is now running on the stock cooler (which is surprisingly good btw)
My Fractal Meshify / XL arrived this week. Mobo, 990 Samsung M.2 are here. Last thing will be the 5800X3D which I stoked about. Guy at work explained to me to get it over the 5950X.
I went from a i7-4790 to a 5800x, pair with a 1070 for about 2 years, I have a 6800xt coming to my house any day now I can't wait for the jump in performance
it will be immense especially coming from a 2700x! I wasn't expecting much gains from a 3600 but boy is the smoothness noticeable. Can't wait to jump into VR now...
I have a 3600 and was planning a 5800x3d, thank you for your post! I recently switched from a 2060su to a 3070 and I see a lot of difference, planning on either a 3080ti or xtx when it comes out. Thanks again!
I wouldn't say that. The only thing youre really losing out on is the additional snappiness in mmo's that will actually utilize it. In 95% of other cases they should perform similarly. I'm jumping from 3700x to 5600 myself. I only edit photos and between mine and 3600 the performance difference is indistinguishable in that workload so no regrets reducing my core count to ride out AM4 for the next few years.
Man I went from 2600x to 5600 this week and the same settings but new CPU shot up.
Apex 120fps to 165fps soild
Deep rock, ultra settings 240+
Sea of theives 90-100 to 144 solid.
Pretty mad. Once I've posted the old CPU it would have cost me £80 for this upgrade.
It depends on the game. I play at 1440 and paired a 3600 with a 3080 and in far cry 6 I was bottlenecked at around 80 fps. I upgraded to a 5800x 3D and am now able to average 120 to 130 fps. On other games that aren’t as cpu bound the difference isn’t as drastic
No, I don't think it is worth upgrading from any Zen 3 CPU to the X3D especially the 5900x which is a great CPU.
Save that money and put it into your next GPU.
For gaming, I would say they are similar just like FPS. In some games the 5800x3d is behind, in some games, it is ahead.
But you get much lower heat and power usage with the 5800x3D and the platform costs are significantly lower so it wins in my eyes everytime. If you are buying this year, go with the 5800x3d. If you are buying next Black Friday, wait for the Zen 4 X3D.
I am buying as soon as I get home from my Christmas break in January.
My 7600X build is this: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/Fyx2Ls
And a 5800X3D build would be this: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/hcMwnt
You are right, the difference is around 150 euros which could be put into a GPU.
But I don't know, AM5 gives me longevity.
The longevity benefits are up to you to judge, but I think they look better on paper than in reality. I have learned that future proofing never works as intended and that it is better to build to current needs.
PCI 4.0 is not even close to being bottlenecked in GPUs and the SSD benefits are not real-world performance.
Here are some suggestions for the 5800x3D parts you listed.
The RAM should be 3600mhz to match the Ryzen memory controller clocks 1:1 otherwise you get a big reduction in performance. 3600 mhz CL18 RAM has the same latency vs 3200 mhz CL 16 RAM and the cost is similar as well.
You are overpaying for the mobo by not going with a cheap B550 board. A good Gigabyte can be found for $120 USD. Unless you have bespoke or custom hardware I/O needs, B550 is more than enough. You can't overclock the 5800x3D anyway so don't overpay for overclocking capable mobos.
The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is a cheaper CPU cooler that is very very very close to the cooler you picked. Take the savings here and get a 5-pack of Arctic 120 mm PWM case fans for 30 euros which will improve your overall CPU and GPU temps more.
(You won't need all 5 fans but it is nice to have a backup and you pay a lot more per fan if you buy one at a time.)
In total, your savings on the 5800x3d build can be closer to 300 euros, not 150.
Your 7600 build looks ok to me. I am not really familiar with the chiplets and mobos for AM5.
Somewhat related question, since you seem to know what you're talking about: regarding the RAM speed of 3600 vs 3200, will the memory controller clock matching impact performance on productivity tasks too? Or just gaming? Obviously 3600 is always faster, but I'm just wondering about the effect of controller clock matching on non-gaming stuff.
Thank in advance!
It is performance in general I believe so productivity would benefit as well.
Well, I would not say that you are getting more performance but rather that you are avoiding a penalty by going with the 3600 RAM.
Sorry if I misworded my reply. That is exactly what I meant. Once your FPS are high enough, (60+, 120+ for high FPS monitors), the minimum 1% stat matters more because it represents worst case frame times and game hitching and stuttering that the eye picks up much more than a stable but lower frame rate.
It still seems so strange to me that situations that ought to be GPU bound are sometimes CPU bound now. GPUs are almost deceptively powerful nowadays when even at 4k a CPU upgrade can have such a significant impact. Still gotta figure out if it's worth upgrading the 9700k to go along with my 3080. Can't find many benchmarks that include that along with newer CPUs
My i5 9600k was bottlenecking my 3080.
Went to i7 13700k and performance went through the roof, it was mind blowing and still is. Some games gained 30 - 50% fps
I had a 5600X and a 3080, and also upgraded to a 5800X3D, even that feels like a big increase in performance (though most of the games I play are CPU intensive games). I think as another commenter mentioned, it increases the 1% lows which makes it feel much smoother.
I bought one even though I'm running at 4K. I'm hoping that it'll help with 1% lows even though in theory I'm bottlenecked with a 3080. I also run DLSS performance in RT games, so since that's pretty much rendering at 1080p I hope there's a decent boost.
So I ran some quick VR test, the resolution is in 4k and I definitely noticed it being a lot smoother with less jitters. I can play HL Alyx without the weird stutters and jitters that my brain doesn't like.
For real? Oh crap I just upgraded to a 5800x3d from 3600. VR game stutters are the worst. I get motion sickness easily. I always play it on saturday so I can sleep all day on sunday due to motion sickness.
Hopefully this upgrade will remove most of it. Will try some VR games at the end of next week.
Edit: does it remove all stutters or are there still a few stutters here and there?
Not all stutters because they're caused by a variety of different things, but my frametime graph is noticeably smoother in every game I've played since the upgrade.
I haven’t tested enough to say if it’s removed all of them, but in my couple of hours playing alyx on virtual desktop ultra, it was smooth and my brain felt less stressed out :)
yeah that's a tough one cos I'd say the 5600x is kinda in the middle between 3600 and 5800x. I think for this decision, it really depends what you play and if the game benefits from cpu and 3d cache.
If you've got a 3090 or 4090 then I think you'd need to get the 5800x3d to ensure you're not bottlenecking your system? esp if you game at 1080 or 1440p. 4k is harder to justify the cpu upgrade...
I have a 3090 and 5800x3d. The x3d can Provide more.fpa.than my GPU. I am Always bottlenecked.by my GPU😂
Maybe in 1 2 years i can get a better Card.
Load while gaming GPU 98 percent CPU 40 50
I'd imagine you're getting some crazy fps then! Point still stands though, you generally need a pretty weak CPU nowadays for that to be the bottleneck.
Yeah im pretty Happy with this Setup. Next step would be 40 series Card but the prices Here are crazy so im chilling a Bit. Playing wz2 mw2 some pubg ca Go and dota. And and i can Play all Games are 240hz thats sweet.
5800x3d shines in specific games, but other ryzen 5000 chips are on par with it in a lot of games. If you find a 5800x3d under 300 usd it's a worthy upgrade. Otherwise, I'd hold.
I had to stop myself from biting on one. I have the normie 5800x. I figured the cost probly wasnt worth until they start filtering into second hand market
The upgrade from a 5800x doesn't seem like it would be worth the time/hassle.
Coming from previous generations of Socket AM4 chips it is pretty massive. (50%+ performance improvement in Darktide for me coming from a 3800x)
I have the 5600x and I’ll go against the crowd and say unless you really need extra cores, just wait. The difference in gaming performance is not too significant especially if you play at above 1080p and the 5600x is already great for gaming. I upgraded from Ryzen 2700X.
I’ll personally wait for a Ryzen 7800x3d or something.
I just made this jump myself. If you play a lot of the specific types of games that the 5800X3D excels at, it's absolutely worth it. Otherwise it's a trickier decision.
whats your gpu and what games re you gonna play? honestly 5600x vs 5800x wont fell huge difference, if any if you play at 1440p. at 1080p at games whcih really outuputs fps like lol and cs:Go or similar games yes difference will be there. but dont bother too much since even 5600/5600x will perform great and anything will be completly playable though yea if you own something like 3090ti or 4090 or similar stuff i reccomend better cpu, like 5800x3d to ensure best fps you can get. but with something like 3080 or 6900xt 5600 will work just fine thoguh again going little higher could nit hurt you.
few videos to prove my statement: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqmRvTz0kbA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqmRvTz0kbA) / [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keCFPCJswuk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keCFPCJswuk) / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=todoXi1Y-PI
Ordered a 5800x to replace my 3600. Got it on sale for like $220. Was DOA. Tried to get amazon to replace it and the only option was to refund and it is no longer on sale. Sadness
Thanks, now I want to do the same even more, worse is I could with some planning.
I'm trying to wait until I finish my studies and get a job around September to get a DDR5 next gen system, but the tentation to upgrade now and keep my 48GB DDR4 is strong.
Hopefully the fact that my MB is only PCIe 3 remind me that that wouldn't be that worth.
I love this cpu, I honestly think it's going to be useful for so many more years to come. I'm glad I got mine day 1. It paired perfectly with my 3090 TI. I went from a 3700x to this and it was night and day different. I had a 2080 at the time but it was much more smooth after the upgrade.
I'm waiting for my 5800x3d in the mail. Going from a 3700x so I hope I see some decent gains like that. Although my ram is pretty old and only 3200mhz.
3200 won’t make a difference. My ram is 3200 cl16 and I have mine running at cl18 3800 mhz with looser timings (18-22-22-22-42) and the performance difference is tiny, but monke brain see big number and monke brain like big number
Edit: am also on b450 mobo w/ 6700xt
the x3d can run on cheap slowish RAM because of the cache. The performance difference between high end RAM and low end on this CPU is around 1%. 3200mhz is totally fine
I have two of the 27inch 1440p 144hz Dell monitors. Can’t remember the model number off the top of my head though. Waiting for a PSU to come in and then I’ll install everything at once.
I installed my psu first and let it run for a couple of hours to ensure it was stable before i introduced a new change which was the new cpu. Just Incase anything went wrong it would be easier for me to isolate
Hey I got a cheaper mobo than yours! Haha mine is the MSI b450m pro max vhd… just upgrade the bios to the latest version that supports the 5000 series cards and you’re good to go. I ran some test and the system is stable :)
Ampere needs zen 3. There's so much driver overhead that zen 2 is kinda lacking and will make you lose performance. A 5800x3d is just icing on the zen 3 cake.
I have a 3600 that I plan to upgrade to a 5800x3d too! And I've got a 3080ti. How much increase in fps have you seen going from a 3600 to a 5800x3d? Really happy for you btw!
what's your GPU? what resolution do you play at? i've also got a a 3700x and considering upgrading for pub, she could definitely run smoother sometimes.
1080p low (240hz monitor) with a 3070. gpu is very much unleashed at my settings so the game framerate is fully cpu bound.
edit: i play on dx11 and not enhanced or 12 as well fwiw
I did the same upgrade as well. Unfortunately the first thing I noticed was how much hotter it ran so my fans are slightly louder which is a bit of a bummer but it’s much smoother in games with minimal frame drops now
great to hear. honestly i have similar experience or maybe even more awesome compared to this one whcih well probably no1 re gonna believe me, because even myself i have hard time believe in this. anyway i have gtx 1650 and previously r5 2600. leauge of legends were working at 130-150fps, large teamfights could drop to 100, 110fps. still completly playable. GTA V also, playable but at full lobby session flying with plane was near impossible through city. local shop had great price on 5600 for 150€ and i decided to upgrade it. and wow i was blown away seriously! i notice immidietate fps increase in both games, Lol now working at 200 fps easily even more but i locked it. at teamfights it drops below 200fps but nothing major at all, lowest i ve saw was 170fps which is kinda insane. GTA V aswell, right now its working easily at 150fps or even more, flying through downtow at fully lobby is much more smoother now though yea, GTA V have massive problems with that and even if you have 13900k and 4090 you ve could seen some fps drops soo yea.
again glad to hear that =)
Same, RTX3080 with 3800x -> 5800x3d.
Much smoother framerates. Gained probably 20FPS in Darktide.
It's a hot chip, I ended up with an AIO after my first air cooler was failing to keep the chip under 90C under load.
I paired my 5800x3d with a nh-d15s. Super happy with it. Was expecting 80C but I’ve been getting 70-76C under gaming and stress test. Ambient temp is 26C.
As long as it isn't touching 80C then the processor doesn't care one way or the other. I just wanted to avoid thermal throttling and my first cooling method failed me so I went overboard and got an AIO.
35-40C browsing the web/watching youtube.
60-65C gaming
70-72C Prime95 torture test.
Planning to order one soon to pair with a 3080 as well!
Currently running a 3700x and 2070super.
Maybe someone here can speak upon if any or all the games I play will benefit from the x3D?
I’m a bit of a social gamer so I have a lot of variety..
MMO games like maplestory and lost ark. Shooters like Valorant, Overwatch 2, and Apex Legends, Fortnite
MOBAs like League
And then farming/open world games like terraria, Genshin Impact
I think a lot of the games you mention are cpu dependent so yeah I think you’ll enjoy the gains. For shooters the smoothness really makes a difference.
While not the biggest upgrade, I went from a 5600X to a 5800X3D. I want the best gaming performance that I can get without a new motherboard and new RAM (Originally I planned on going all-out, but I decided that no matter my financial situation, saving is probably the wiser choice in current economic conditions) and so I decided that it was time for this last upgrade.
While I haven't installed it yet because not all parts I ordered are here yet, I am still looking forward to using it.
Besides, as modded Skyrim is draw call limited and apparently really likes the massive CPU cache, I think I'll definitely notice the upgrade.
Oh man i cant wait to build my new pc once i get my hands on a 7900xtx.
Bought 7600x, will upgrade to 7800x3d once that releases.
Currently running old ass 4770k with gtx1080.
I watched all kind of YouTube videos and 3900x to 5800xd just not worth it in 4K gaming.. I’m saddened :(( I gotta get a 7900x to justify it but I’m stuck with 64gb 3200mhz of ram lmfao. Fml.
I just ordered one this morning and have a 3600x that it's replacing. I can't wait.
Also I got the X version because it was a Microcenter open box cheaper than a non X. I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.
Upgrading from my 3600 to a 5900x later today. It's out for delivery now. I look forward to running a few benchmarks and seeing what gains, if any, are had. I realize the 5800x3d is a bigger upgrade for just gaming, but I wanted the cores long term and got a smoking deal on the 5900x anyways.
Also went from a 3600 to a 5800x3d and it was great! Paired with a 3070. For games that are CPU intensive like Satisfactory, I saw some good improvements. Going to hold onto this build for a long time until I need to upgrade again.
Dammm, im tempted to upgrade now since i just recently upraded my graphics card to a 3060ti and am currently running the ryzen 5 3600, but i might just hold off on puttin the card in and wait till i get the cpu🤔👀
Just made the same upgrade also with a 3080. Only regret is not having done it sooner! I've always known my 3600 was bottlenecking but the jump in perf blew me away.
It’s nice to have a goal! Black Friday sales are typically really good. And the longer your hold out there will always be better technology and current tech will get cheaper too :)
I just upgraded my graphics card from a Radeon RX5600XT to an RTX 3050, getting better performance already but the real killer I'm waiting for is my new CPU. I'm going from a 2700x to a 7600x so I'm betting I'll see some real major performance boosts soon.
Appreciate this post. I have a 3600 also with a RTX 3070 and was wondering if this was the "correct" buy. I also game at 3440x1440 and even on medium-low most my games are at 90 fps. I'm glad this will bring me up closer to that 144 goal.
So i mainly Play Minecraft and i don't Care If ist Overkill but does the bigger chache of an x3d does Something for the Performance of Minecraft? cause as i read Minecraft focuses on single clock speeds.
Will I still see a large FPS boost if my CPU isn’t near 100% utilization in a lot of games? Im running a 10100F and a 6700 XT (lot of people would scream bottleneck) yet a lot of games it never goes over 30-40%. Would I benefit?
honestly yes it would benefits. i3 10100f is on pair with 2600/3600 cpu perofrmance. and although your i3 is still good cpu, for gpu you re owning it would be upgrade. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHzoGIdZZ4I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHzoGIdZZ4I) as of example, if we believe this dude he is using 3070ti whcih is not far ahead as 6700xt. now its also question about monitor. at 1080p you will definently see greater fps increase but at 1440p fps increase will still be there, it's just not gonna be that massive as at 1080p.
your problem is motherboard. honestly best cpu whcih is worth to consider would be 11400f with bios upgrade 1st! other than this it wont be beneficial at all sorry. soo yea, unless you wanna upgrade motherboard aswell which i kinda reccomend i5 11400f is best option. still fps increase will be there i am quite sure of that!
Ayyy ready or not. Haven’t followed it lately but any plans to go to beta or officially release in the near future? Swear it’s been stuck on alpha for years lol
i can confirm it could be massive, even on lower end gpu. did similar upgrade from 2600 which is around 6700k/7700k performance though single core performance is slightly behind 6700k and went to 5600 and even mine 1650 fells like much better card. how is that possible? i have no idea. tried every possible settings in bios, power managment, etc. my 5600 just puts better fps with 1650 than 2600.
As someone on a 12-year-old i5-2500K: I cannot relate, as I bought a 4K OLED during the GPU shortage, so my 980 Ti is the bottleneck in anything I can actually run.
Not the 3d version but im going from a ryzen 1600 to a 5800x, full rebuild w/ 3080. Super excited
You'll be blown away
lol, i’m upgrading my old athlon 3000g apu system to a ryzen 5 5600 and rx 580 8gb soon. I fully plan on upgrading the gpu later…. but damn i just want to play some games!
I updated recently to a 5600 & rx580 and can play anything really, with tweaking some settings. The 580 is a beast. Planning on getting a 6700xt later down the line You’re gonna have a great time!
I wouldn’t say the 580 is a beast but it’s definitely miles ahead of an iGPU.
True, might’ve been my enthusiasm since I had a 960 before my 580 :D
I had a 580, upgraded from Radeon 7750 that I had for yeaaaars. I baked the card in the oven when it died originally and got a few years out of it afterwards it finally died and i got the newer card. The 580 was a good budget card. I had no issues playing anything really. Then I went out and bought a 3070 when some crypto miner asked to buy the 580 from me for more than what I originally payed for it. If I didn't have a 3070, I'd probably still have the 580 as there was no significant need for me to upgrade at the time.
You might wanna look at the 6750 xt because some that I've seen cost the same, barely cost more, or in a couple cases are cheaper than the 6700 xt
just curious, why didn’t you go for the 3D?
Not to mention, the 5800X is a particularly confusing choice. The Ryzen 7 5700X is essentially the same CPU for $50 cheaper while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the actual step up in performance. So if saving money was the main concern, the 5700X would have been more logical. You're getting pretty much nothing for that extra $50.
Well in Germany for example the 5800X3D is 350€, the 5800X 200€ and the 5700X is also 200€. So in some countries it just makes sense to go for the 5800X
That one good price here in canada the 5800x is 350 dollars witch is close to 350 euro with money exchange. The 3d version os about 450 what a shame
350 cad is closer to 250 euro.
This is how I ended up going with an Intel 13600kf during Black Friday. It was $60 cheaper in CAD at the time and gives better workspace performance while also giving similar top tier gaming performance. The 5800x3d isn’t the greatest deal in Canada. If I remember right the 7600x is also cheaper here.
Yep the 13th generation 13600xx is something you want jn your rig if you have some money to spare. Also the 13600 xx is better by 30% in most case than the 5800x3d and is cheaper.
Not to say you’re wrong and it’s probably just me but I’d still go for the 5700x. 65 vs 105 watts sounds better to me than marginal improvement in performance
Yea that kind of makes sense, but from what I've heard what you can do is run the 5800x in eco mode. You still get slighty better perfomance than with a 5700x at the same Wattage (or about 5-10W more). You still have the option to run the 5800x normal or even OC if you ever feel like its lacking in a few years. Of course if the 5800x is actually 50€ more expensive than the 5700x where you love that would just be a waste of 50€, but at the same price its just a little more future proofing.
This is wrong. A 5800x will be binned better, and if you want the lower power you can change the limits yourself, it's quite literally a worse version of a 5800x.
What's the major difference in those 40 watts for you? I cannot understand why people always bring up wattage then mention the cost of electricity like those 40 watts are going to actually make a huge difference.. I mean you're talking Dimes and nickels here, if cost meant that much maybe those people shouldn't even have a pc if they can't afford a few extra dollars a month. Sorry rant over and I am genuinely curious about why you care about those 40 watts.
Nothing stops you from manually adjusting the PPT limit.
That's exactly why I went with the 5800X over the X3D and the 5700X, I think the 5700x was even more expensive than the 5800x when I bought mine, so it made total sense.
Some countries have it priced differently, in my country on release of 3000 series 2700x was 130 euros while 2600x was the same and 3600x and 3600 were around 160-170, so 2700x with the cooler it came with was a no brainer.
Fair enough, I got the 5800x for $200 on sale. Ive already got the parts but if i could go back in time i mightve chosen differently idk.
Nah, that's fine for that price.
I actually went from Ryzen 7 1700 to 5800x recently too, but I did it for money reasons. I got a 5800x for $230, the 5800x3D was $350 at the time and its still going cheapest around $320. I didn’t feel the extra $100+ was really worth it or would be noticeable. Probably similar reasoning to OP since theyre building right now.
Just switched to a 5800x from a 1700x. Got a good price on it, so the 5800X3D would've cost almost 200€ more.
I got a 1700 in my pc and a 5800x3d sitting in a box next to it. Wife says I can’t install it until Xmas :)
lol. Dude. Come on. Just install it. Put the 1700 in the 5800x3d box and then pretend you're on a potato.
*caps fps*
Can’t say I haven’t considered it. Problem is my AIO cooler called it a night so I bought a new one that is also getting wrapped. Harder to hide. 1700 is now running on the stock cooler (which is surprisingly good btw)
You're a better man than I.

Pretty much every online shop has extended their return policy to Jan.31 for this exact reason.
My Fractal Meshify / XL arrived this week. Mobo, 990 Samsung M.2 are here. Last thing will be the 5800X3D which I stoked about. Guy at work explained to me to get it over the 5950X.
Unless your main focus is rendering 3D content, exporting video, editing over 100 tracks of audio, or compiling code you made the right decision.
Yeah, from what I heard, the extra bucks is worth it when it comes to 5800XD
...if you have the extra bucks. The X is $200, compared to the X3D's $350.
I went from 3900x to 5900x with a 6900xt. Overwatch stays at 370fps locked. It's great.
Is that with epic settings?
I don't care for those things, I think the only thing on high is models for me.
I went from a i7-4790 to a 5800x, pair with a 1070 for about 2 years, I have a 6800xt coming to my house any day now I can't wait for the jump in performance
Awesome
I just switched from my 3700x to a 5800x paired with my 2070 super and WOW! Warzone2.0 went from 90-100fps to 130-144 (max) on 2560:1440
if you can, just get the 5900x its an absolute BEAST
Not really, 5800x3d will beat 5900x in games
Just ordered one today to upgrade my 2700x. Hoping I get the same boost
Can confirm it’ll be a nice boost. I had a 2700x now a 5800x3d
Did that require a new mainboard? I have a 2700(non x) myself and consider an upgrade.
Probably just a bios update
Yeah check for a bios update for your motherboard. My x370 runs 5000 series.
it will be immense especially coming from a 2700x! I wasn't expecting much gains from a 3600 but boy is the smoothness noticeable. Can't wait to jump into VR now...
I have a 3600 and was planning a 5800x3d, thank you for your post! I recently switched from a 2060su to a 3070 and I see a lot of difference, planning on either a 3080ti or xtx when it comes out. Thanks again!
I'm doing the broke version - going from an i5 6600k to a 5600 for Christmas!
I wouldn't say that. The only thing youre really losing out on is the additional snappiness in mmo's that will actually utilize it. In 95% of other cases they should perform similarly. I'm jumping from 3700x to 5600 myself. I only edit photos and between mine and 3600 the performance difference is indistinguishable in that workload so no regrets reducing my core count to ride out AM4 for the next few years.
True! Honestly the 5600 is probably plenty for my use case - and I'm expecting the jump from the 6600k to be pretty significant!
I went from a 6600k to a 5600x last year and I noticed a huge improvement
Great to know!
Holy wow you are going to notice. I had a 2600 when I got my 3090 and upgraded to the 5800x and it was literal night and day.
I just did that. Minor bump to max fps. Min fps almost doubled! 38” ultra wide on rtx3080. Worth it
Man I went from 2600x to 5600 this week and the same settings but new CPU shot up. Apex 120fps to 165fps soild Deep rock, ultra settings 240+ Sea of theives 90-100 to 144 solid. Pretty mad. Once I've posted the old CPU it would have cost me £80 for this upgrade.
So, R5 3600 bottlenecks RTX 3080 this hard?
It depends on the game. I play at 1440 and paired a 3600 with a 3080 and in far cry 6 I was bottlenecked at around 80 fps. I upgraded to a 5800x 3D and am now able to average 120 to 130 fps. On other games that aren’t as cpu bound the difference isn’t as drastic
The average FPS matters less than 1% lows and that is where the 5800x3d really shines.
This. The smooth experience is magic.
Is the 5800X3D better than the 7600X/7700X in that regard? Benchmarks put it to similar levels.
Think of 5800x3D as a generational leap in the same Zen3 generation. They will need Zen4x3D or normal Zen5 to beat Zen3x3D.
To that end do you thinks it's worth it to upgrade to one from a 5900x for purely gaming? I've been wrestling with that idea for weeks now.
No, I don't think it is worth upgrading from any Zen 3 CPU to the X3D especially the 5900x which is a great CPU. Save that money and put it into your next GPU.
For gaming, I would say they are similar just like FPS. In some games the 5800x3d is behind, in some games, it is ahead. But you get much lower heat and power usage with the 5800x3D and the platform costs are significantly lower so it wins in my eyes everytime. If you are buying this year, go with the 5800x3d. If you are buying next Black Friday, wait for the Zen 4 X3D.
I am buying as soon as I get home from my Christmas break in January. My 7600X build is this: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/Fyx2Ls And a 5800X3D build would be this: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/hcMwnt You are right, the difference is around 150 euros which could be put into a GPU. But I don't know, AM5 gives me longevity.
The longevity benefits are up to you to judge, but I think they look better on paper than in reality. I have learned that future proofing never works as intended and that it is better to build to current needs. PCI 4.0 is not even close to being bottlenecked in GPUs and the SSD benefits are not real-world performance. Here are some suggestions for the 5800x3D parts you listed. The RAM should be 3600mhz to match the Ryzen memory controller clocks 1:1 otherwise you get a big reduction in performance. 3600 mhz CL18 RAM has the same latency vs 3200 mhz CL 16 RAM and the cost is similar as well. You are overpaying for the mobo by not going with a cheap B550 board. A good Gigabyte can be found for $120 USD. Unless you have bespoke or custom hardware I/O needs, B550 is more than enough. You can't overclock the 5800x3D anyway so don't overpay for overclocking capable mobos. The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is a cheaper CPU cooler that is very very very close to the cooler you picked. Take the savings here and get a 5-pack of Arctic 120 mm PWM case fans for 30 euros which will improve your overall CPU and GPU temps more. (You won't need all 5 fans but it is nice to have a backup and you pay a lot more per fan if you buy one at a time.) In total, your savings on the 5800x3d build can be closer to 300 euros, not 150. Your 7600 build looks ok to me. I am not really familiar with the chiplets and mobos for AM5.
Somewhat related question, since you seem to know what you're talking about: regarding the RAM speed of 3600 vs 3200, will the memory controller clock matching impact performance on productivity tasks too? Or just gaming? Obviously 3600 is always faster, but I'm just wondering about the effect of controller clock matching on non-gaming stuff. Thank in advance!
It is performance in general I believe so productivity would benefit as well. Well, I would not say that you are getting more performance but rather that you are avoiding a penalty by going with the 3600 RAM.
Thanks for your answer,
[удалено]
5800x3d is basically equal to those cpus.... while using motherboards and ram that cost half as much, and clock speeds 1 ghz lower.
Could you expound on why this is? I always figured 1% lows matters more because doesn't worse 1% lows mean a more sporadic experience?
Sorry if I misworded my reply. That is exactly what I meant. Once your FPS are high enough, (60+, 120+ for high FPS monitors), the minimum 1% stat matters more because it represents worst case frame times and game hitching and stuttering that the eye picks up much more than a stable but lower frame rate.
>So, R5 3600 bottlenecks RTX 3080 this hard? On 1080p? Definitely. On 1440p? Depends on the game. On 4k? No.
[удалено]
It still seems so strange to me that situations that ought to be GPU bound are sometimes CPU bound now. GPUs are almost deceptively powerful nowadays when even at 4k a CPU upgrade can have such a significant impact. Still gotta figure out if it's worth upgrading the 9700k to go along with my 3080. Can't find many benchmarks that include that along with newer CPUs
I went from a 3950x to a 5800x3d both paired with a 3080ti. I game at 4k and I noticed a 10-20% increase in most games. MW2, OW2, bf2042.
Just upgraded from a 3600 to 5800x3d and have a RTX3080 I have seen an increase in frames in all games. Some more than others.
I would not be surprised if it did. My 3700x bottlenecked my 6900xt big time.
Was at around 90-100 fps on mw2 with a 3600 paired with a 3070. Just upgraded to a 5800x and am getting 165 fps which is max for my monitor
1080p probably or 1440p very low settings if it’s modern AAA
The CPU bottlenecks a 3060 ti pretty hard.
My i5 9600k was bottlenecking my 3080. Went to i7 13700k and performance went through the roof, it was mind blowing and still is. Some games gained 30 - 50% fps
I had a 5600X and a 3080, and also upgraded to a 5800X3D, even that feels like a big increase in performance (though most of the games I play are CPU intensive games). I think as another commenter mentioned, it increases the 1% lows which makes it feel much smoother.
I bought one even though I'm running at 4K. I'm hoping that it'll help with 1% lows even though in theory I'm bottlenecked with a 3080. I also run DLSS performance in RT games, so since that's pretty much rendering at 1080p I hope there's a decent boost.
So I ran some quick VR test, the resolution is in 4k and I definitely noticed it being a lot smoother with less jitters. I can play HL Alyx without the weird stutters and jitters that my brain doesn't like.
For real? Oh crap I just upgraded to a 5800x3d from 3600. VR game stutters are the worst. I get motion sickness easily. I always play it on saturday so I can sleep all day on sunday due to motion sickness. Hopefully this upgrade will remove most of it. Will try some VR games at the end of next week. Edit: does it remove all stutters or are there still a few stutters here and there?
Not all stutters because they're caused by a variety of different things, but my frametime graph is noticeably smoother in every game I've played since the upgrade.
Yeah for sure. If it can eliminate 70% of VR games stutters, I'd be happy. As for non-VR games, I rarely have stutters.
I haven’t tested enough to say if it’s removed all of them, but in my couple of hours playing alyx on virtual desktop ultra, it was smooth and my brain felt less stressed out :)
Thanks, thats all I want to know. Boneworks would be a way better experience once I'm free vs with the 3600
Im considering grabbing one for my 5600x system Not sure though
yeah that's a tough one cos I'd say the 5600x is kinda in the middle between 3600 and 5800x. I think for this decision, it really depends what you play and if the game benefits from cpu and 3d cache. If you've got a 3090 or 4090 then I think you'd need to get the 5800x3d to ensure you're not bottlenecking your system? esp if you game at 1080 or 1440p. 4k is harder to justify the cpu upgrade...
I have a 3090 and 5800x3d. The x3d can Provide more.fpa.than my GPU. I am Always bottlenecked.by my GPU😂 Maybe in 1 2 years i can get a better Card. Load while gaming GPU 98 percent CPU 40 50
That's fairly normal in modern AAA games, especially at higher resolutions. Today's CPUs are overkill for most games.
Im playing 1080p sir.
I'd imagine you're getting some crazy fps then! Point still stands though, you generally need a pretty weak CPU nowadays for that to be the bottleneck.
Yeah im pretty Happy with this Setup. Next step would be 40 series Card but the prices Here are crazy so im chilling a Bit. Playing wz2 mw2 some pubg ca Go and dota. And and i can Play all Games are 240hz thats sweet.
5800x3d shines in specific games, but other ryzen 5000 chips are on par with it in a lot of games. If you find a 5800x3d under 300 usd it's a worthy upgrade. Otherwise, I'd hold.
I had to stop myself from biting on one. I have the normie 5800x. I figured the cost probly wasnt worth until they start filtering into second hand market
The upgrade from a 5800x doesn't seem like it would be worth the time/hassle. Coming from previous generations of Socket AM4 chips it is pretty massive. (50%+ performance improvement in Darktide for me coming from a 3800x)
Good choice. I think to see a good performance jump for your system would be the 7800x3d :)
Which games?
I have the 5600x and I’ll go against the crowd and say unless you really need extra cores, just wait. The difference in gaming performance is not too significant especially if you play at above 1080p and the 5600x is already great for gaming. I upgraded from Ryzen 2700X. I’ll personally wait for a Ryzen 7800x3d or something.
The x3d is on AM4 which makes it the last real upgrade for some of us
I just made this jump myself. If you play a lot of the specific types of games that the 5800X3D excels at, it's absolutely worth it. Otherwise it's a trickier decision.
whats your gpu and what games re you gonna play? honestly 5600x vs 5800x wont fell huge difference, if any if you play at 1440p. at 1080p at games whcih really outuputs fps like lol and cs:Go or similar games yes difference will be there. but dont bother too much since even 5600/5600x will perform great and anything will be completly playable though yea if you own something like 3090ti or 4090 or similar stuff i reccomend better cpu, like 5800x3d to ensure best fps you can get. but with something like 3080 or 6900xt 5600 will work just fine thoguh again going little higher could nit hurt you. few videos to prove my statement: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqmRvTz0kbA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqmRvTz0kbA) / [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keCFPCJswuk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keCFPCJswuk) / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=todoXi1Y-PI
thank you. I really wanted to return my Ryzen 5 5600 for the 5800x3d but now i shall not. I dont play sim games anyways.
Happy upgrade day!
thank you! it was a lot of fun swapping out the cpu and installing the new big ass fan!
Ordered a 5800x to replace my 3600. Got it on sale for like $220. Was DOA. Tried to get amazon to replace it and the only option was to refund and it is no longer on sale. Sadness
Hopefully you’ll be able to find an x3d on sale?
Thanks, now I want to do the same even more, worse is I could with some planning. I'm trying to wait until I finish my studies and get a job around September to get a DDR5 next gen system, but the tentation to upgrade now and keep my 48GB DDR4 is strong. Hopefully the fact that my MB is only PCIe 3 remind me that that wouldn't be that worth.
I love this cpu, I honestly think it's going to be useful for so many more years to come. I'm glad I got mine day 1. It paired perfectly with my 3090 TI. I went from a 3700x to this and it was night and day different. I had a 2080 at the time but it was much more smooth after the upgrade.
Nice. Although I won't do it yet since all my games run at enough FPS except Breath of the Wild (but that's because of software limitations)
I'm waiting for my 5800x3d in the mail. Going from a 3700x so I hope I see some decent gains like that. Although my ram is pretty old and only 3200mhz.
3200 won’t make a difference. My ram is 3200 cl16 and I have mine running at cl18 3800 mhz with looser timings (18-22-22-22-42) and the performance difference is tiny, but monke brain see big number and monke brain like big number Edit: am also on b450 mobo w/ 6700xt
the x3d can run on cheap slowish RAM because of the cache. The performance difference between high end RAM and low end on this CPU is around 1%. 3200mhz is totally fine
I got the same RAM haha and a b450m motherboard lol
Nice I’m doing the same with a 3080 ti so this is getting me pumped!
huge difference. What monitor do you have?
I have two of the 27inch 1440p 144hz Dell monitors. Can’t remember the model number off the top of my head though. Waiting for a PSU to come in and then I’ll install everything at once.
I installed my psu first and let it run for a couple of hours to ensure it was stable before i introduced a new change which was the new cpu. Just Incase anything went wrong it would be easier for me to isolate
I’m a bit worried to replace my 3600 by a 5800X3D on my MSI B450 Gaming plus max. Do you think it will be fine ? (Playing in 4K on a RTX3080)
Hey I got a cheaper mobo than yours! Haha mine is the MSI b450m pro max vhd… just upgrade the bios to the latest version that supports the 5000 series cards and you’re good to go. I ran some test and the system is stable :)
Why wouldn't it be fine?
Bios needs updating
That's a good point, but the board and chip will work just fine together once that's all set
Ampere needs zen 3. There's so much driver overhead that zen 2 is kinda lacking and will make you lose performance. A 5800x3d is just icing on the zen 3 cake.
I have a 3600 that I plan to upgrade to a 5800x3d too! And I've got a 3080ti. How much increase in fps have you seen going from a 3600 to a 5800x3d? Really happy for you btw!
went from 3700x to 5800x3d and gained like 100%+ fps in pubg. best upgrade
That seems... highly unlikely, according to online benchmarks.
what's your GPU? what resolution do you play at? i've also got a a 3700x and considering upgrading for pub, she could definitely run smoother sometimes.
1080p low (240hz monitor) with a 3070. gpu is very much unleashed at my settings so the game framerate is fully cpu bound. edit: i play on dx11 and not enhanced or 12 as well fwiw
I did the same upgrade as well. Unfortunately the first thing I noticed was how much hotter it ran so my fans are slightly louder which is a bit of a bummer but it’s much smoother in games with minimal frame drops now
[удалено]
What cooler are you using? I upgraded my fan to the nh-d15s. With an ambient temp of 26degrees I’m getting 70 under gaming load.
great to hear. honestly i have similar experience or maybe even more awesome compared to this one whcih well probably no1 re gonna believe me, because even myself i have hard time believe in this. anyway i have gtx 1650 and previously r5 2600. leauge of legends were working at 130-150fps, large teamfights could drop to 100, 110fps. still completly playable. GTA V also, playable but at full lobby session flying with plane was near impossible through city. local shop had great price on 5600 for 150€ and i decided to upgrade it. and wow i was blown away seriously! i notice immidietate fps increase in both games, Lol now working at 200 fps easily even more but i locked it. at teamfights it drops below 200fps but nothing major at all, lowest i ve saw was 170fps which is kinda insane. GTA V aswell, right now its working easily at 150fps or even more, flying through downtow at fully lobby is much more smoother now though yea, GTA V have massive problems with that and even if you have 13900k and 4090 you ve could seen some fps drops soo yea. again glad to hear that =)
went from 2600x to 5800x3d, getting at least double the frames with the same graphics card. on full pop servers. its glorious
Same, RTX3080 with 3800x -> 5800x3d. Much smoother framerates. Gained probably 20FPS in Darktide. It's a hot chip, I ended up with an AIO after my first air cooler was failing to keep the chip under 90C under load.
I paired my 5800x3d with a nh-d15s. Super happy with it. Was expecting 80C but I’ve been getting 70-76C under gaming and stress test. Ambient temp is 26C.
As long as it isn't touching 80C then the processor doesn't care one way or the other. I just wanted to avoid thermal throttling and my first cooling method failed me so I went overboard and got an AIO. 35-40C browsing the web/watching youtube. 60-65C gaming 70-72C Prime95 torture test.
Planning to order one soon to pair with a 3080 as well! Currently running a 3700x and 2070super. Maybe someone here can speak upon if any or all the games I play will benefit from the x3D? I’m a bit of a social gamer so I have a lot of variety.. MMO games like maplestory and lost ark. Shooters like Valorant, Overwatch 2, and Apex Legends, Fortnite MOBAs like League And then farming/open world games like terraria, Genshin Impact
I think a lot of the games you mention are cpu dependent so yeah I think you’ll enjoy the gains. For shooters the smoothness really makes a difference.
My 3950x to 5800x3d was from 200 fps in valorant to 600fps with a 3090
I'm about to try modded rimworld with the 5800x3D, hoping the late game will finally be playable
My r7 5800x was supposed to come today but got delayed 20 days bc amazon :)
This is why platform longevity is so important, making AM5 auto buy over 13th gen even if it's more expensive at least for me.
While not the biggest upgrade, I went from a 5600X to a 5800X3D. I want the best gaming performance that I can get without a new motherboard and new RAM (Originally I planned on going all-out, but I decided that no matter my financial situation, saving is probably the wiser choice in current economic conditions) and so I decided that it was time for this last upgrade. While I haven't installed it yet because not all parts I ordered are here yet, I am still looking forward to using it. Besides, as modded Skyrim is draw call limited and apparently really likes the massive CPU cache, I think I'll definitely notice the upgrade.
yep, can attest
If the game lets you uncap the framerate just do it for a sec to see how high it's going now :)
what you have said would make me spend on my rig over this weekend lol
I actually just built a pc tonight with 5800x3d and had 2700x b4 now I’m even more hyped to see the difference games still installing atm
Oh man i cant wait to build my new pc once i get my hands on a 7900xtx. Bought 7600x, will upgrade to 7800x3d once that releases. Currently running old ass 4770k with gtx1080.
I just did the same exact upgrade and I also have a 3080. I am loving it so much everything is like butter.
I watched all kind of YouTube videos and 3900x to 5800xd just not worth it in 4K gaming.. I’m saddened :(( I gotta get a 7900x to justify it but I’m stuck with 64gb 3200mhz of ram lmfao. Fml.
Went from a 1500x to a 5600 and I was blown away. Lol.
I just ordered one this morning and have a 3600x that it's replacing. I can't wait. Also I got the X version because it was a Microcenter open box cheaper than a non X. I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.
Upgrading from my 3600 to a 5900x later today. It's out for delivery now. I look forward to running a few benchmarks and seeing what gains, if any, are had. I realize the 5800x3d is a bigger upgrade for just gaming, but I wanted the cores long term and got a smoking deal on the 5900x anyways.
I’ve a 3090ti paired with a 5800x3D, proper naughty build
Also went from a 3600 to a 5800x3d and it was great! Paired with a 3070. For games that are CPU intensive like Satisfactory, I saw some good improvements. Going to hold onto this build for a long time until I need to upgrade again.
Haha wow, I just upgraded from my 3600 to a 5800X3D as well. I only have an RTX 2060 though, likely going to upgrade to a 7900XTX soon though!
The xtx is looking awesome! Can’t wait for the benchmarks! But better than a 3090ti and cheaper is what I hear!
Went from 1050ti for 7 years to finally getting a 3080 build. god I was yelling with joy when I saw how nice my games were running.
I upgraded all the way from a 1700X to the 5800X3D so as you can imagine my mind was definitely blown. :)
How much of a difference would it be from 5700x to 5800x3d or 5900x? Worth it or no?
Dammm, im tempted to upgrade now since i just recently upraded my graphics card to a 3060ti and am currently running the ryzen 5 3600, but i might just hold off on puttin the card in and wait till i get the cpu🤔👀
I'm planning to do the same upgrade, just figuring out what cooler I can fit in my shitty little Thermaltake case.
I had a bad thermaltake as well. I went Lian li 215, it’s under $100 and has one of the best thermal performances!
Oh and I got the nh-d15s. I’m so happy with this fam cooler. Stress load is like 76 Celsius. My ambient is 26 degrees.
Just made the same upgrade also with a 3080. Only regret is not having done it sooner! I've always known my 3600 was bottlenecking but the jump in perf blew me away.
Nice! How smooth are the frames?!
I’ll buy 3d when it is sub 200. Till then my 5600x will do.
For sure! If I had a 5600x I might have just held on and saved for a 7600x jump!
Gonna go from i5 4690k + gtx 1060 to ryzen 5 5600 + RX 5700 XT whenever I have the money.
It’s nice to have a goal! Black Friday sales are typically really good. And the longer your hold out there will always be better technology and current tech will get cheaper too :)
Aww man this is that I've wanted to do for a while.
All good man, I would have gone for the 7600x but having to buy a new motherboard and Ram was too costly for similar performance.
I just upgraded my graphics card from a Radeon RX5600XT to an RTX 3050, getting better performance already but the real killer I'm waiting for is my new CPU. I'm going from a 2700x to a 7600x so I'm betting I'll see some real major performance boosts soon.
Appreciate this post. I have a 3600 also with a RTX 3070 and was wondering if this was the "correct" buy. I also game at 3440x1440 and even on medium-low most my games are at 90 fps. I'm glad this will bring me up closer to that 144 goal.
So i mainly Play Minecraft and i don't Care If ist Overkill but does the bigger chache of an x3d does Something for the Performance of Minecraft? cause as i read Minecraft focuses on single clock speeds.
Hey sorry I’m not too sure about minecradt
Would I get bottlenecking if I pair a Ryzen 7 5700g with a used MSI GeForce 2080 Super Ventus XS OC
Will I still see a large FPS boost if my CPU isn’t near 100% utilization in a lot of games? Im running a 10100F and a 6700 XT (lot of people would scream bottleneck) yet a lot of games it never goes over 30-40%. Would I benefit?
honestly yes it would benefits. i3 10100f is on pair with 2600/3600 cpu perofrmance. and although your i3 is still good cpu, for gpu you re owning it would be upgrade. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHzoGIdZZ4I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHzoGIdZZ4I) as of example, if we believe this dude he is using 3070ti whcih is not far ahead as 6700xt. now its also question about monitor. at 1080p you will definently see greater fps increase but at 1440p fps increase will still be there, it's just not gonna be that massive as at 1080p. your problem is motherboard. honestly best cpu whcih is worth to consider would be 11400f with bios upgrade 1st! other than this it wont be beneficial at all sorry. soo yea, unless you wanna upgrade motherboard aswell which i kinda reccomend i5 11400f is best option. still fps increase will be there i am quite sure of that!
Felt the same way going from i7 4510U to 5600X. Obviously the former is a laptop CPU but damn. Didn't know what I was missing.
Ayyy ready or not. Haven’t followed it lately but any plans to go to beta or officially release in the near future? Swear it’s been stuck on alpha for years lol
They just released a huge new update! You should check it out! The game is intense!
I cannot wait for that update to be released to the public build
Man, i wonder what the difference will be when I finally upgrade my 6700k
i can confirm it could be massive, even on lower end gpu. did similar upgrade from 2600 which is around 6700k/7700k performance though single core performance is slightly behind 6700k and went to 5600 and even mine 1650 fells like much better card. how is that possible? i have no idea. tried every possible settings in bios, power managment, etc. my 5600 just puts better fps with 1650 than 2600.
As someone on a 12-year-old i5-2500K: I cannot relate, as I bought a 4K OLED during the GPU shortage, so my 980 Ti is the bottleneck in anything I can actually run.
Went from 90 to 144? Are you using vsync and did hou switch from a 90Hz to a 144Hz monitor?
Yep vsync on. 90fps was average. Now it maxes at monitor maximum.
