Compare the value and see if the upgrade makes sense for you.
It seems this question might fit better in the CPU or GPU discussion rather than the specific forum. I checked the details, but there’s no clear match for a RX 6800 paired with a 9900K CPU and a 5600X upgrade. Let me know if you'd like help exploring alternatives!
If you already had a Ryzen setup, it's worth considering the upgrade, but unless your system is outdated, it probably isn't worth rebuilding everything. The 9900k remains a solid gaming CPU, and boosting it for small improvements doesn't justify the cost. You might wait until newer games rely more on these features before committing if you don't need a fresh machine.
This wouldn't justify an upgrade for me if I were in your situation.
The issue always comes down to whether you're satisfied with your results, and if not, whether you're ready to consider an upgrade. All smart access memory fits within the PCIE standard that AMD pioneered, and it's highly likely to appear on Intel's lineup soon. I wouldn't upgrade just for the sake of it, but I wouldn't discourage it either—your choice is yours.
Don't feel obligated—make your own choice. Compare some games you usually play, check their FPS numbers, and then research benchmarks for the 6800. A big gap might point to a CPU issue that isn’t present right now. If it’s substantial, you can share the results here and we can assist further.
Thank you for all the responses; it seems the best choice is to maintain the 9900K setting.
