Im trying to decide wether to upgrade my cpu to 5800x3d from my current 5600X but unsure if its worth it as i game at 4K and sometimes 1400p. Im using a Saphire Nitro+6800XT. However looking at hardware unboxed benchies theres not much if any benifit at these higher res as you become GPU bound more than CPU in most titles. However I would be gaining another 2 cores and extending my current AM4 platform for a few more years. Looking at some gaming benchies the 5800x3d wasnt too far off zen4 so it got me thinking. And will the price off 5800x3d drop with new zen4 releases? has anyone done the same? worth it?
 
Amazing responses here so i thank you for that. Im going to go with the majority here and not bother. I am looking forward to seeing AMDs new gpu offerings come November 3rd, I hope they arent too much in line with Nvidias prices although sadly i cant see it being any better. Im also going to give it a while before going AM5 so the boards become a bit cheaper and DDR5 continues to tumble price wise. Be interesting watching reviews of the new zen4 cpus so I will give it some careful thought. :)
