I’ve experienced the transition from Zen2 to Zen3 firsthand. On a mid-range graphics card, the performance gain is modest—around 10 to 30 percent on average. You’ll notice slightly higher frame rates and fewer interruptions, leading to smoother gameplay. However, with a high-end GPU, the improvement becomes more noticeable. The 5800X3D stands out, often outperforming newer Zen4 models and even beating some Intel Alder Lake CPUs. If you don’t need extra cores for productivity and can invest in it, go for the 5800X3D. Just note that regular 5700X offers better value compared to the 5800X3D.
Don't jump to conclusions about your RAM being faulty. With the newest AGESA 1207 and updated chipset drivers, your memory should be functioning properly. We're moving beyond the older Zen/Zen+ and '300 series' era.
The 3090 doesn't consistently hit 97-99% load during gameplay, so the benefits aren't significant. From a financial perspective, it's more advantageous to save until systems like Zen 5 with 3D caching are available before attempting platform changes.
I'll verify if the GPU is operating at full capacity. The previous Zotac 3090 didn't perform well, but it was faulty—I received a refund. I'll recheck. Maybe adjusting my CPU settings could make a difference.
Yes you would get more out of your 3090 by upgrading to 5800X3D. Personally I would wait for the new 7xxxX3D cpu's that launches early next year to see what performance upgrade, they offer Getting a 5800X3D would be cheaper as it requires no MB and ram upgrade.
It seems your GPU is running at 30% usage but you're seeing low frame rates like 120-165 FPS. That doesn't match normal performance, so there might be an issue with drivers, software settings, or hardware health. Check the details and see if it improves.
