Are you holding off on upgrading to 5800x for your rig?
Are you holding off on upgrading to 5800x for your rig?
Hi there, your Ryzen 7 5800x is on its way, though the delivery date is uncertain. It’s meant to swap in for the older Ryzen 3 3200G on an x570 board with 32GB RAM. You’re running a non-super RTX 2080 as the main graphics card, using a 1440p monitor at up to 144Hz. This setup is mainly for gaming, and you’re thinking about moving to a faster CPU soon. You’re considering skipping the new CPU hype and going with a 3900X instead, which you can get for a similar price, or a 3800X for under £300. With the current GPU performance being average, you probably won’t see much difference. I’m not a big fan of spec chasing—just want smooth gameplay and good visuals. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!
For gaming, the 5600x offers the best performance and will surpass the 3800xt or 3900x in gameplay.
It's the top choice. Keep going with 5800x—it'll benefit you a lot. The 8 cores ensure long-term reliability for over two years.
Yeah, suppose maybe I just need to be patient . If I cancel the 5800 I lose my place in the queue and will just join another queue for the 5600. I guess I was maybe thinking that I wouldn’t notice much between Zen 2 and 3 with my graphics card, but the Zen 3 will future proof me a bit more if I upgrade the GPU next year.
