No, an overclocked 5600X typically won't match the performance of a 4070 or 4080.

You're aiming for a high-performance build around the 4080/4070 range, targeting the 4080 with a focus on gaming speed. The specs you shared suggest a solid foundation—RTX 4080/4070 with strong cooling and tuning. To boost performance, consider testing your setup by running games first, then adjusting GPU settings and resolution to gauge improvements. This approach helps identify bottlenecks without risking long-term stability. Just ensure your system remains stable under load before making further tweaks.
It seems those GPUs haven't been announced or tested yet, right? Maybe they'll be out soon? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
4080 is expected to be 40% quicker than the 3090, though the numbers might not be entirely precise. It offers solid performance compared to current options, so a strong CPU will be essential for smooth 1080p gaming at high refresh rates. I think playing the games I enjoy and using the lowest settings would help identify if it starts struggling with processing power.
It might only boost speed by about 40% in some tasks. Don't overthink it unless it's clearly faster—developers wouldn't release it otherwise. A quicker GPU doesn't slow down the CPU. If it meets your desired frame rate, higher settings become possible. If the CPU struggles even with minimal GPU settings, a new CPU might be necessary.
Making a purchase based on rumors about another product's performance before its release is unreasonable.
I tried Doom Eternal and achieved 150-350 FPS under minimum settings and resolution with 50% scaling. Still, it occasionally hit full GPU usage, so it isn't a flawless benchmark. I'll also check Forza Horizon 4 after downloading. At least it should run smoothly on a 144Hz 4K display, which is solid—though I won’t play Doom at that refresh rate. A 280Hz monitor would be even better for FPS titles.
Even though the reported results might not be perfect, this is the best we have at the moment. And if the actual performance doesn’t match expectations, the 4080 will likely remain impressive because it’s a top-tier card.
This moment isn't suitable for deciding anything at the moment. Unrelated to what's being discussed.
The gap between 5600x and 5800x3d in gaming is relatively small, particularly because my 5600x is already boosted while the 5800x3d can't be overclocked. I'm planning to upgrade to a Ryzen 7000 or an Intel 13th gen chip if possible. Once I get the new card, I'll want to test its real performance. The 4080 should likely cost less than $1000, though it's still on the higher side.
