5600X & RX6800 to 8900X3D & 9070XT worth it?

[Iamzod]

As per the title really.

Considering upgrading from a 5600X with 16GB DDR4 and an RX6800 to an 8900X3D with 32GB DDR5 and a 9070XT.

I've had the current setup just over 50 months now so i'm getting an upgrade itch but will this be worth it with my 3440 x 1440p screen or am i wasting money?

rx6800 came out 4.5 years ago??
time flies...

Late 2020, it does indeed fly, i still had a couple of years left in my 30's back then!!

I want to run through Cyberpunk again & RDR2. Currently playing Rust which i can max out but get some micro stutters. It's currently filling both the VRAM and System memory at 16GB each.

The other game I will want to play is Space Engineers 2, i'm currently in the Alpha ant i know it's not optimised but in some scenarios i can tank right down to 30 FPS.

RX 6800 is still decently capable at 1440p. It was 4K capable when released.

I'd say that either upgrade isn't overall (across many games) worth it without doing the other one too, unless you play: very graphically demanding games (GPU) OR CPU demanding games that love the 3D cache.

I like a bit of VR.

Currently i'm playing a lot of Rust but I wouldn't mind re-visiting cyberpunk on higher settings.

The alpha of Space Engineers 2 utterly hammers my RX6800 with RT Enabled.
