Hello, with the latest benchmarks for new Ryzen models, would upgrading to the Ryzen 5800X from the 3600 be beneficial for gaming on your LG 3840x1600 160Hz display? Your GPU is an RTX 3080. Thanks for your help.

Avoid assuming better performance because higher resolutions strain GPUs more. Look at benchmarks for games you usually play at comparable settings and hardware.

Moreover, many locations are currently out of stock, giving you the opportunity to review and evaluate benchmarks that match your specific requirements before making a decision.

Thanks for your feedback. I successfully placed the order for 5800x. Now I'm uncertain about its value. Benchmarks suggest minimal variation in 4K gaming, but my 3840x1600 resolution should be roughly 25% less demanding than 4K—hard to judge. Plus, such benchmarks are uncommon even for older CPUs.
