Is it worth it going from a 5800x to the 5800x3d for 4k?
IMO I'd say no, better to save the cash for next build. This imgur album has TPU 4K tested with RTX 4090.

Thanks, the gains at 4k don't look too impressive <7% on average. Think I will skip this then.IMO I'd say no, better to save the cash for next build. This imgur album has TPU 4K tested with RTX 4090.
Finished my son's new 5800x3d build took us 7.5 hours in total today no breaks - shattered now
Presuming your current BIOS is compatible with the 5800X3D?So before I install this I presume I simply reset my bios to optimised defaults. Reboot insure all is good. Then shutdown, change the chip, reboot and if all is good, go back to bios and set XMP profile?
Yes mate. Updated it a while ago.Presuming your current BIOS is compatible with the 5800X3D?
AMD chipset drivers and as mentioned, BIOS update for 5800X3D supportSo before I install this I presume I simply reset my bios to optimised defaults. Reboot insure all is good. Then shutdown, change the chip, reboot and if all is good, go back to bios and set XMP profile?
Wow 7.5 hours, were you screwing in the screws with your fingers, and doing it blindfolded.
Congratulations on that build, sounds perfect for a gamer and 1440p resolution. I also installed the 5800X3D. Last month. And have the RTX 3070!Finished my son's new 5800x3d build took us 7.5 hours in total today no breaks - shattered now
He already had 3070 GPU
New build is
4000x case
4000 airflow front panel
5800x3d
Corsair H100i Elite Capellix
32gig Kingston Fury Beast 3600 (seems to be Hynix ICs)
1tb Crucial P5
Windows 11
Not had time to test CPU temps yet but checked in bios after installing windows etc and was at 35c
Will do chipset drivers.AMD chipset drivers and as mentioned, BIOS update for 5800X3D support

Had a blast On Plague Tale: Innocence last night and in my new Phanteks P600S case CPU temps reached 85c on my Noctua DH15 Chromax with 2x fans. I did get a weird crash yesterday, but even checking the event logs I am not really sure what it was attributed to... could have been the GPU.
I bought the 5800x3D for a VR boost, my 5800x was a lemon in terms of clocking so I am looking forward to the increase in lows it will bring. In fact many of the games the 5800x3D give benefits in are games that I play, so for me it is worth the upgrade to last me the next 2 years as I have zero desire to go through a system upgrade and OS reinstall when the 7000x3D series is released. I just want to enjoy my system and get the most out of what I have for the next 2 years.
I just ordered a 4090 that was actually in stock and ready to be delivered tomorrow, so soon I should be in VR and 4k120fps heaven. as I am limited to 120fps by my HDMI2.1 OLED TV I honestly think a 4090, in combination with DLSS2/3, may last well into the next GPU upgrade cycle.
Good gaming times are coming.
Have you read the thread, specifically the last couple of pages?Got a 5600x, anyone think it's worth upgrading to the 5800x3d? Planning to run at 3440x1440.

Was only pulling your leg.lol ! that did include 1.5 hours installing Windows 10 then upgrading to Windows 11 but even so it did take ages ! - my neck is sore today too
RGB fan headers all over the place, I've not installed an AIO before, new case, NVME mounting completely new to me etc
seems to be working AOK though quite an upgrade from a Xeon E3-1225 v3 for him
I took the plunge and boy in some games you do not notice any difference. But in other ones, it flies. Really pushes my RTX 3070 at 1080P with God of War. RTX 3070 sounds like a hoover.Got a 5600x, anyone think it's worth upgrading to the 5800x3d? Planning to run at 3440x1440.
