5700 pulse to 7800xt pulse?

[Yrkoon]

hey guys im seriously considering a sapphire pulse 7800xt to replace my 5700 pulse.

im guessing i can get about double the performance?

im using a gigabyte m32q 2k monitor.

the other important specs are

corsair rm750x
tomahawk max b450 board
ryzen 5700x
32 gig 3600 ddr 4

hehe more than happy with my cpu, i only got it a year ago and it never maxes out at 2k while my gpu does

gonna go for the 7800xt pulse, that seems the best choice and in the future jump to am5 at some point when my pc starts to get sluggish

thanks for the advice guys.

I got a decent uplift with a 3080 from the 5600x to 3D at 2k never mind a 4090. Many forget minimums are more important but it's game dependant. If the titles the OP plays benefits from it, I feel it's a better upgrade in preparation for the new GPU. If I was looking to spend as little as possible though, the GPU would be more important than the CPU as 5700x is still a decent CPU but if I was wanting to extend life of the current system, I feel both are nice upgrades.

yeh u got a uplift because u got 2 more cores?

last year at this time i chose the 5700x to upgrade my 3600 and got a massive uplift too and inbetween that i went from a 1080p monitor to a 2k one, advantage of going for the 5700x was tdp was the same as my existing chip and the 3d ones cost a lot more

no idea why people are telling me to upgrade my cpu it only gets half used at best lol

The 3D cache CPUs extra 2 cores over the 5600x isn't what makes them so good. If you're happy, stay where you are, it was just a reply to someone who mentioned driving a 4090 at 2K when a 5600x was creating a bottleneck with a card with half its GPU power in the 3080 even at 1440p. Since you're getting a 7800XT which is comparable to a 3080, it was user experience to explain you won't get the best out of the card with the 5700x but it won't be a bad experience, just that you can get more out of the card with the 3D cache version.

It seems you're happy though so by all means, carry on.

hehe kool i just clicked your post at random while drunk sorry if i came of a bit brash

now guys massive question that is bugging me.....

does the 7800xt pulse have the same light up lettering that the 5700 pulse has?

im a bit attatched to the light up sapphire and dad will be getting this card for the price of 0, old case a fractal design r4 midi window which needs cleaned and has had several motherboards through it

edit :

got the pulse 7800xt earlier and its a bit of a beast

the games i tried all hit 100% on gpu usage and im getting the fps i wanted from it at 2k, really happy with the card, the only downside is no light up lettering on the new one lol

 

[Yrkoon]

just ran 3d mark and getting double

edit: cost me 499.99 plus free shipping

 

[Yrkoon]

it doesnt light up

i love it

i noticed something when i had my old 5700 pulse out, the new 7800xt pulse is a bit longer, any longer and im gonna buy a triple fan card next time

most my cpu has hit was about 64% on dead space remake while the gpu was constant 100% on 2k at max settings and forza horizon 5 getting over 100 fps easy on that more or less maxxed at 2k etc, 2 settings toned down slightly for horizon

no bottleneck, the gpu is always 100% no matter what game i play unless i use a fps limiter and cpu hovers about 40% to 60% on the more demanding games

i love this gpu and bottleneck doesnt exist
