Personally if I already had a 5800x I probably wouldn't upgrade to the 3d, though there would likely be some gains, especially if you're cpu bound on a game.

Here's like 40 games where they're compared on a nividia 3090:

I upgraded from a 3700x to a 5800x3d so there was a big boost.

But a 5800x3d isn't even much cheaper than a 7800x3d, and the socket type switched now. So if I already had a 5800x I'd probably just wait and switch to a 3d chip in the future when I was ready to upgrade my motherboard. If cost is no object and you're not gonna swap the motherboard for a long time, then yes it's the best gaming cpu you're going to be able to use with that board and likely always will be.

Thanks for sharing would your suggestion change if current CPU is below 5800x, 5700 or 5600 lets say?

You're awesome, thank you for sharing that!

But a 5800x3d isn’t even much cheaper than a 7800x3d, and the socket type switched now. So if I already had a 5800x I’d probably just wait and switch to a 3d chip in the future when I was ready to upgrade my motherboard.

That's been my current m.o. so far. My original thought, and reoccurring hope, is that some day the price comes down on the 3d chip enough to make it worth the 'bang vs buck' purchase, especially so since I just primarily game on my PC these days.

I feel your pain, it's just such a popular cpu it never seems to come down as much as you'd think. Kind of the end game for anyone who doesn't want a new motherboard.

Thank you. 🙂

Yep, agree. Maybe a fools hope, but I'm hoping that someday remaining stock will want to be sold off to make room for the 8000 line of CPUs, etc.

I wait a long time for Steam sales, and my 5800X takes well care of me today, so I'm not in a rush, and am used to the wait.
