AMD 5800X3D to 7800X3D

[beerglass007]

Just reading some reviews on current AAA games etc and wondering if its worth upgrading now whilst my 5800X3D and Mono is still worth a few quid

Micro ITX Mobo with 5800X3D DDR4 Ram 3600 and 4080 FE playing at 1440P most COD & Fortnite and single player games. PC is 100% for gaming

Looking at the reviews the 7800X3D is about 20% increase in Fortnite at 1080P and 16% at 1440P. I know that doesn't sounds much, but currently I could still sale the old CPU,Mobo,Ram and its gonna be 50% off the price for the new AM5 setup

Has anyone been crazy enough to jump from a 5800 to 7800 and was it really worth it ?

For me not worth it. I’m waiting for the next generation.

That's quite a long time with AM4 ?

Depends. If you're top tier competitive it may be worth it. If you're just a normal gamer I doubt you'd notice the difference.

Definitely not worth it considering you need to change the motherboard and RAM as well. Sure you can sell the old stuff but you usually take a hit selling second hand.
The "while it is still worth a few quid" argument doesn't always hold up because whilst it will be worth less in future, so will whatever you buy to replace it (and typically brand new tech depreciates faster, so the difference in price today is likely larger than the difference would be in a year's time).

if you turn the fps counter off I bet you wont notice the difference , probably better to wait till zen5 ? should also have better board and ram prices as well and all the kinks sorted on AM5 and see what Intel have as well

I priced it up, and it was getting on for a grand. Not worth it imho.

£450 cpu, £350 mobo, £150 ram

Will wait for next gen.

5800X3D here and I'm going to save my money until something comes out that is worth upgrading to. The 7800X3D isn't worth the increase in performance imo.

I recently swapped my 5800X for a 5800X3D.
I contemplated going for the 7800X3D but given I already had a working B450 motherboard and high end DDR4 ram, I decided the outlay was not worth it.
The 7800X3D will very fast, but on the this occasion I decided not to go for it.

Strange question. If you are playing at 1080p and with the gpu you are using you are cpu bound AND you want the extra fps, then sure it's worth it.

What can’t you do with your 5800X3D that you think dropping £1k will get you?
