Consider your system needs and performance issues before deciding.
Hello, your system setup is solid: you have a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with an RX 6950 X graphics card, 4GB of DDR4 memory, and a 750W power supply. Your 4K Aorus display runs at 144Hz, which should handle the resolution well. The 5600X is unlikely to be the bottleneck at this setting. Swapping to a 5800X would only matter if you notice any performance gains, but with your current monitor and usage patterns, you probably won’t see a noticeable improvement. Upgrading the GPU beyond what you have now isn’t expected to help in the near term.
The 5600X works well for 4K in that configuration. The 6950XT can handle what it can offer without being limited.
Are you watching games in 4K resolution? If not, the difference will be negligible. See what I mean: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-r...3d/18.html
5600X remains a solid CPU even without many cores. It’s running well on my son’s system, reaching 4850 under a PA120SE.
