Was considering upgrading to am5 but not sure now, may just upgrade the gpu instead, what gpu have you guys got with your 5800x3d playing @1440p with no/very little bottleneck?

Would prefer nvidia card if i was to upgrade gpu but dont mind sticking to 40 series,.

Thanks guys
 
You are going to get more out of a GPU upgrade where you are at, i'd set for a GPU and then think about CPU as the phase after that.

Unless you have something specific in mind for the CPU side of things like video editing.

Rig in sig. I play at 4k 7900XTX

Sig not showing. 5800x3d.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D / Corsair 32GB DDR4 Vengeance PRO 3600MHz / MSI B450 TOMOHAWK MAX / Saphire 7900 XTX Pulse / FiiO FT1 / Sound Blaster GC7 / ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO / Gigabyte M32U 4K

I'm on 1440p with a 5080 and my 5700x3d, and it seems all good to me. When I do find a game that maxes out GPU usage my CPU usually only hits 60-70% usage. A better CPU might improve 1% lows I guess, but I doubt it'd be worth it.
 
I have a 7900 XT paired with a 5700X3D. I'm playing at 3840x1600 and sometimes 4K.

This could well be the final GPU for me on this platform. I only have a PCI-E 3.0 motherboard too - not sure if that could become a problem for a future graphics card.

Thats the thing though, most games should max out the gpu if the cpu isnt bottlenecking it...well thats what i thought anyway, gpu should be high 90s and better if at 99% usage in games

Thanks for comment, @4k the cpu isnt as important as most the power is pushed onto the gpu, i game @1440p and at the moment have the rtx4070....not sure if i can go much higher without bottlenecking with the 5800x3d at this resolution ?
 
9070XT at 3440x1440, will play everything I need it to until after GTA6 on consoles. After that I'll see where things stand and go from there.

I assume it depends what you're playing and what refresh rate you're chasing. Since upgrading to a 175 Hz ultrawide, I'm quite content to turn on frame gen @ 60-75 fps in AAA / UE5 type games to get the smoothness of 120 fps+. The 5700X3D is holding up well for getting to that minimum 60+ fps, as is the 7900 XT for me.

Your sig says you have a 600W power supply, which would surely be a limiting factor for your GPU upgrade options.

Yes, it is at the moment, im planning on buying a 1000w psu and better pc case anyway this year somewhen, just trying to decide whether to upgrade whole platform while im at it, or just the gpu with it.

Finding it to be a hard decision lol
 
9700 non XT @ 3440x1440 and my 5800X3D is bottlenecking it ever so slightly in select titles. But its very slight and most games are not an issue. It has helped a bit moving to linux. I just build a new pc for a friend with a 9070 non XT and a 7800X3D and there is a difference in games like Cyberpunk and Path of Exile 2 which we both play a bit off.
 
I was pondering a similar thing back in November 2023, when I decided to upgrade my existing 5800X with a 5800X3D (as I mainly play WoW and that loves the extra cache) instead of moving to AM5. I've been very happy with that decision and have mine paired with a 4070 Ti Super and a 1440p/144Hz monitor. The 5800X3D is still more than capable of powering that class of card.

I'm not an enjoyer of the PC building experience, though I do it anyway. If you want to upgrade your case and PSU, that'd be my cue to do a full system upgrade. I'd certainly not like to transplant from one case to another, and potentially again a short time later if the AM4 system still disappoints after a GPU upgrade.
 
I'd happily run anything up to around 4090 performance on a 5800X3D, I wouldn't change CPU until going beyond those performance levels unless I had very niche requirements or planned to buy a 5090.
 
Most important questions here is GPU side. Not the CPU. Bottleneck is not main consern of most setups.

What resolution owner wanna play and is there enough VRAM?

1080p - 10-12GB VRAM is enough most cases and games.
1440p - 16GB VRAM because 12GB is not enough at all games.
4K - 16GB VRAM mostly enough any games and lowering graphic settings should run every game good.

How much fps target wanted to have?

This one define only how powerful GPU owner want to buy. If VRAM maxed out then stutter starts and fps start to crash down because insufficient VRAM what makes stutter. If Graphics card VRAM maxed out there is no CPU what could save it.


If owner have AMD x3d processor. Just find best GPU you need in your own needs of playing.

I have not tested AMD x3d processors but its better for gaming than my most past and recent processors. I list CPUS and GPUS what I got earlier and now.

Old setups:
-Intel 8700K - Nvidia RTX 2080TI 11GB, I haven't got any bottleneck when have this setup with 1080p and 1440p gaming

- AMD 3950X - Nvidia 2080TI 11GB and Nvidia RTX 3090 24GB and 1440p and 4K no bottlenecking as well.

Setup what I own now:
-AMD 7950x - was Nvidia RTX 4080 16GB, playing 1440p and 4K. No bottlenecking.
GPU has changed to RTX 5090 32GB. 1440p and 4K depending what I play. Now I have seen like Indian Jones and the Great Cirlce what take 20GB of VRAM of full graphic settings.

(Notice: There also many test saying that only few games in 1440p take more than 16GB of VRAM all maxed out. I had also tested many games with my RTX 4080 16GB VRAM. 16GB is way to go if want little bit look in the future and VRAM not going out)

So the conclusion of all tests I've been make. CPU is not a consern, never, but what need to be focus is GPUS VRAM, that is what need to be checked if not want to have any kind of
issues playing games. If GPU is 98-99% usage you get all out of your GPU. Usually your CPU usage % is still max like 60-70% usage. You are in good position without bottlenecking.

In other hand if CPU go up in like 80-100% usage problems start to come in hand soon if not in hand already. If CPU go up in 80-100% usage, usually GPU might go low as 60-75% usage at the same time, but you will notice that when frames start drop and stutter comes to involve in gaming. Many cases people fear too much bottlenecking. It means your CPU usage gotta go up like 90% or more to see real bottlenecking.

AMD 5800x3d is still solid. I hope this helps to find a best option for your setup.
