Move to AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D ?

[AgedIdiot]

I use my PC principally for gaming and internet browsing.

Am running 5900x +32gb 3600mhz ram (14-15-15-35) + 6800xt.

Nothing overclocked but gpu is undervolted a little.

Am itching a little so have been thinking about possibly moving to a 5800X3D chip - Worth it at all?

Or would it be better to save for a good few months and update the whole platform?

Considering you can probably sell the 5900x for near the cost of a 5800X3D (or even recoup some money if you bought a used X3D), I'd probably do it myself

What resolution and what type of games?

I moved from a 5900X with similar RAM to a 7900X with DDR5 6000C30 RAM. The only game I saw a significant uplift on was MSFS. I am using a 4080 at 4K.

There are videos that compare e.g. 5800X and 5800X3D, like this one:

Your results would be similar. Personally, I wouldn't bother until you do a new gen/platform upgrade, but the games and res/settings might make it worth it in some circumstances.

I would wait personally and platform change to either a 7800X3D or Zen 5 X3D.

I made this exact change a year ago. Sold the 5900x for 3/4 of the cost of the 5800x3d and I'd say games do feel smoother overall with better lows. It is noticeably slower on other things however, like installing games or pre-loading shaders but those tend to be one off things anyway so doesn't bother me.

At this stage though I'd wait and see what the next zen brings this year.

Was tempted. But going to stick with my 5900X. Will upgrade in 3 years time or something. For now as long as I can hit at least 60fps without it bottlenecking I am happy.

If it's gaming performance you want the 5800x3D is king in AM4. But maybe down the line the extra cores will win out? Up to you.

I'm going to say no. Performance won't be massively improved and you can go for AM5 for only a small amount more once you've sold your current kit.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming A620-Pro WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-ASU-01162) = £149.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Six Core 5.30GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DG-AM) = £229.99
• 1 x Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KF556C36BBEK2-32) (SKU: MY-29U-KS) = £100.00

Total: £479.98 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

Yes as a recent builder of an AM4 system, I'd recommend saving the extra for AM5. My PC is nice and I like it, but in hindsight spending a little extra here and there would've got me a better system. Stings a little seeing the components come down so quickly. AM4 is still kick ass so I'm still happy. Just need a better GPU and I'm set

Thanks to those who posted - have decided that it would be best to save for a bit and go for new platform.

Read up on a few reviews and came to the conclusion that the benefits of a 58003D upgrade were marginal - better to save and hope that the value of my existing kit does not drop too much!!

I'd try and make haste if I were you. Good luck though and Merry ..... January or something
