What refresh rate is your monitor?

Personally I'd not bother if already machine it out.

Difference with a 3080 i something id research a bit more and if less than 25% increase there's not a huge amount of point

I've been looking at the same from 5800x3d and decided to wait.
 
Not dissing the 7800X3D but I think people get a bit carried away with it - you probably won't notice any difference for general tasks from a 5900 and the 7800X3D is probably less than 10% faster outside of gaming on balance. If you are gaming at decent resolution and settings the 7800X3D loses some of its advantage and with a 3080 you'd probably see again around 10% difference or less - with something like a 4080 or higher you could be seeing 20-30% difference in gaming though, maybe a little less at 4K.

It sounds like you have a case of upgraditus! It can be worth it, if you're chasing frames in games that love the 3D cache, but is it a necessary upgrade to achieve playability at 1440p/4K? No.

very true im best of rethinking about it when NVIDIA relish the 5 series
 
I have the System in My Sig and a 5800X3D system with a 3060ti and I wouldn't replace any of them with a 7800X3D system.

What is your system not doing that a 7800X3D can right now?

I really would get that thought out of your head for a good while.
 
Ignore all of the sensible advice above and go scratch the itch. I did the exact same upgrade and loved it, but you won't be able to get the idea of a GPU upgrade out of your head afterwards, and it may make sense to do so. The good thing about the 7800X3D is it will power top-end GPUs for years to come.

I'm having a hard time resisting scratching the itch for a 4090 :( but I only actually "need" it for like 2 games, everything else runs fine on my 3070.

The 7800X3D a ridiculously good CPU. The level of performance on offer for 70-80watts is simply awesome.

Not a desktop CPU but the Ryzen Z1 Extreme absolutely destroys it on power efficiency though :p and not hideously far behind it on performance - averages 86% of its performance at sub 30 watt.

Never used one. I bet the system I’m currently playing with will destroy both in power and or performance.

You kinda stuck, just changing platform you ain't really gonna notice much difference with the GPU holding it back

And it's gonna be expensive changing platform and GPU at the same time

They are used in some gaming handhelds and mini PCs - I think it a bit ridiculous in a hand held as they literally give a desktop 5800X a good run for the money and even at 5 watt TDP could match or beat my old Xeon 1650 V2.
 
Lot of "itching" in this thread. For instant relief I recommend buying an RTX 4090 and AMD 7800X3D ! ;)

Seriously though, to the OP, your PC is capable as it is ... upgrading to the 7800X3D by itself won't be transformational. Getting a RTX 4090 would grant you a bigger performance boost, but it is expensive and if you don't game at 4K there really is no point ; it wouldn't be able to "stretch" its legs unless you have a very high refresh rate monitor.
 
Come on admit it . . .

@Th3D0n ive just made the exact same jump. picked up a used 7800x3d (open return), used ram and paired it with a Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2.

Once sold my kit, cost me £180 all in which isn't too bad all things considering. I'll probs just drop in a used 9000 series in 3 years time.

I picked the asrock board up for £109 on sale which is seriously a bargain.
