What refresh rate is your monitor?i can stop thinking about selling my 5900, mobo and 32gb of ram and buying a new all new and 7800x3d just wondering who has do the same and did you regret it i mainlly game on it i have a rtx3080 in it
yeah i do hahaIt 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.
yeah probably right id just have a case of upgraditus but i do wish i got the 5800x3d over the 5900What 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.
very true im best of rethinking about it when NVIDIA relish the 5 seriesNot 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.
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.
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 and not hideously far behind it on performance - averages 86% of its performance at sub 30 watt.
This is what I’m planning to do while currently on a 5800X and a 4090 which is twice as fast as a 3080. The GPU isn’t always at 100% usage at 4k but the FPS is plenty good enough anyway.Aren't AMD due to release new CPU's this year? Could be worth waiting for.
Never used one.
