AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor upgrade

[syfer1987]

Hi here is my motherboard https://rog.asus.com/uk/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-wifi-ii-model/helpdesk_cpu/

I am looking to upgrade my CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor. Can I ask if I should go with Ryzen 9 or a Ryzen 7 3d?

I just want to upgrade CPU can some help with picking the CPU?

My gpu is rtx 4090 24gb vram and looking at looking at 5700X3D but https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/ it keeps telling me it might be a bottle neck. Does any one know if this is true?

For gaming go with a 5800X3D or 5700X3D if you want to stay on AM4, 5700X3D tends to be much better value. For non gaming you can get better 5000 series CPUs but it's a balance.

Yes a 5700X3D will bottleneck a 4090 at certain resolutions.

If you don't want to be bottlenecked (or at least have minimal) then you'd need a platform upgrade, so the question is, what is your budget and desire to do a full upgrade?

There's always a bottleneck, but as always, it depends on the game, the resolution and the detail used.

Will be there less of a CPU bottleneck than with your 3600? Yes.

Can I ask if I should go with Ryzen 9 or a Ryzen 7 3d?

Just for gaming, the 5700X3D is better. For productivity, the 5900X/5950X are better.
