I assume you haven't tried TLOU or any of the heavy games on your 5800x 3d,else you would realize what happens to 8 core cpus in those. 8 cores should be at the 200-250 price point nowadays, they are not suitable for high end gaming.
I haven't yet seen some actual footage from TLOU or cp on the 7800x 3d,so I'll withhold my judgment for now, but let's say I'd be impressed it it beat a 12900k, let alone a 13900k in those games, just because of the lack of cores.
I got the 5800x3d for £220 dropped it in current motherboard
I have the 3080 is the part thats struggling, high preset dont actually think there is any noticable difference graphically between high and ultra , high preset no dlss ( I get shimmering with dlss ) keeps it under 10gb vram average fps 90s never dips below 60fps at 1440p for me thats good enough experience , its a single player game I dont need super high FPS all the online games I play are well above 100fps makes no sense to me to spend on new GPU + platform
my next upgrade is likely GPU but trying to hold out for next gen aint entertaining paying current prices by that time hoping platform costs are lower so upgrade to that as well,
