Starfield just runs poorly on Nvidia GPUs right now, a 6800XT is 30% faster than a 3080 which is way off what the usually differences are so there is bound to be some optimisation improvements coming.
Makes perfect sense and is what I did. The 7600 is perfectly fine for most games by the time it isn't the 8800X3D will be heavily discounted, that's when I will upgrade. Meant I didn't pay the early adopter tax on the high end chips. Remember the 7600 can also be sold later too and will proportionally lose less than if you bought a high end CPU on release.
I've got both. There's not much in it to be fair, go AM5 now prices have dropped and sell the old gear or just drop in a 5800X3D if you want a low hassle upgrade. I don't think you'll go wrong either way, the biggest factor is do you want to spend less now. I suspect the prices of RAM and storage are going to go up now they've cut back chip production.
Sounds like a great buy there, lots of years of upgrade potential. I think you'll be set now for the foreseeable.
Why not just get a 5800X3D now though in that circumstance then pick up 8800X3D later on when the whole AM5 platform has been discounted rather than paying top whack now especially for stuff like the boards.
