Hi all,

Currently running a 5900x and an original 3080 with 10g vram

I only play WoW. Mythic raids and M+

im wondering if i should upgrade my GPU or my CPU to get better frame rates as I drop to 25-35 fps often when playing.

Im guessing the CPU would be the best route but my GPU is now a couple of generations old.

Any help appreciated :)
 
WoW likes the X3D, so the 5700X3D might help, but you would also be losing 4 cores, so if you do anything other than game that is not a good move.

What does the utilisation say when the FPS drops?
 
I have an am5 motherboard thats sitting at home so im guessing going 9800x3d is the play here then?

I play at 1440 and normally in m+ i get 80 ish fps when not a lot is going on. when in big packs it drops to 30s and 40s.
