What gpu do you have with your 5800x3d?

Wow, seems a lot of you are actually using much more powerful gpus than my mere 4070 and enjoying the performance.
 
enjoying the difference? which one did you plumb for?
Went for the pulse 9070 XT.

If i am honest, coming from a RTX 3080 the difference is not night and day, but once i am gaming with 3080 it did not take long for fans to kick in and they was quite loud.

At the moment i have no games that needed the upgrade, but it benches better than the 3080.

On a side note. Now i have no lights in the case, it is so dark and quiet it's like the PC is not on. :)
 
7900gre I think the 5700x3d and5800x3d should be good for a couple more years yet especially if you are gamming @4k

5800X3D and Sapphire Pulse 9070XT here.

I had an old powercolor red devil 5700XT in there which was doing an ok job but a res of 5120x1440p was pushing it a bit so replaced with the Pulse. Now in Forza 4 for example I was getting 88fps at ultra, it's now 188 to 200+ so happy days. ;)

It's more about the FPS that you want. For 60 fps it's good, but if you're regularly into 120-144fps+, then it will start to fall short - unless FG is available and you're fine with that.
A more powerful GPU it will still give you 60fps at top settings while a weaker one will give you 60fps at lower details.

My 3080 FE is showing its age. Think I might need to upgrade EVeRYThING !!!
Having the same dilemma at the moment. Not had an AMD card since around 2012 when I had a Sapphire 5800 in a second build. Mainly using MSFS and being main thread/CPU limited and now I'm hitting VRAM limit on my 3080 FE. Eyeing up a new AM5 build and trying out a 9070XT.

Yes, i mostly play battlefield games and other competitive online shooters, but do play a little of everything, some games i get well over 100fps but im gaming on a msi 1440p 240hz monitor so im usually well below the refresh rate of it
and mostly playing competitive games i wont use frame gen in them, only dlss.

Do use frame gen in single player rpg and action type games if i have to like oblivion remastered for instance.

Just bought a silent base 802 pc case and im planning on upgrading my platform to 9800x3d and upping my psu to 1000w, then in the future, maybe 60 series upgrading my gpu.

FWIW, I play a lot of COD, I've gone from AMD to Nvidia, and played it online MP with FSR3/frame generation and DLSS3/frame generation - neither AMD or Nvidia caused any issues with 'input latency' when winning MP matches, and I win most matches.
So don't be afraid to turn on frame generation or FSR/DLSS in MP games :) SP can be a different story, but COD seems to play nice with FSR/DLSS/frame generation.

Thanks for that, mostly play battlefield games but do have the occasional blast on cod, do always use dlss but have never tried frame gen in a online game yet, will give it a go and see how i get on

You're welcome mate :)
I honestly don't really need frame generation on, I always get an acceptable 120-180FPS without it on, and my monitor is 165Hz, but I figured I may as well turn it on so that It never could dip below :) I have FSR or DLSS set to quality, and the main textures set to the highest but the rest at comp settings.

Another thing I'll debunk is, I haven't used a wired connection in years either! And again, be it COD or CS2, it doesn't seem to stop me winning most matches. So I'm clearly not bottlenecked :)

I will agree that in some SP games, frame generation can cause input latency, but most games support Reflex or Anti Lag, so that puts that to bed also ;)
 
I've ditched the steel series patriot ram and put in 32 gig of crucial Ballistix ddr4 CL16 3200mhz ram and that works lovely using the gigabyte Auros elites XMP profile. I also added another 16 gig of same modules so all 4 dim slots are occupied now. A strange 48gig but working great. Forza 4 benchmark hit 230fps after adding the extra ram, strange but true.
