anyone upgraded 5800x3d to the 9800x3d?

I'm considering this upgrade and am struggling to justify it at the moment. I'd be looking at spending over £1000 for a minor upgrade.

I play WoW, Ffxiv and mainly AAA games all of which run great so it may be a GPU upgrade for me next.

wait till the 5000 GPU come out and buy a new GPU.

I don't know what GPUs people have, but if you have something similar to me I think we are good with the CPU and GPU untill the next gen consoles come out to be honest.

Assuming they are out in the next two years.

the 5800x3d is starting to show it age a little bit now in some game's but at 4k like yourself, your probably good for a long time unless you was to grab a 5090.
at 1080/1440 again depending on the game there could be a need to upgrade the CPU, but a 4080s is fine

It depends heavily on the games you play. Saying it doesn't matter at 4k just isn't true. It matters less in a broad sense, but in CPU limited scenarios you will see a big difference.

I've trotted this out before, but I went from 40-50fps in busy areas of Cyberpunk to 80-90fps in those same areas going from 5700x to a 9800X3D. In the sparser areas I only gained about 5fps. This is at 3440x1440 on a 3080.

Does GPU matter more? 100% yes, unless you're playing Stardew Valley

Does GPU matter more? 100% yes,

this just debunked your own statement...


also we are talking about a 5800x3d not a 5700x. if you had a 5800x3d and a 3080 you money would have been better spent on a 4080 / 7900xtx over a cpu upgrade
also Cyberpunk is like i said there will always be a any outline game, like Alan Wake. some games dont want 3D cache they just want core horsepower

Until my GPU is under 95% utilisation. It’s currently 100% I will keep my 5800x3d

I'm using a 3080ti at 1440p UW and cpu isnt struggling in most games.

I haven't though. I was arguing against the idea that CPU doesn't matter at 4k, which is false.
