The bare minimum CPU recommendation for RTX 5080 is 9700X. Pairing it with a Ryzen 9700X may cause bottlenecks, while a 9800X3D would likely avoid issues.

It depends on the resolution you plan to use.

1080p definitely needs a 9800x3d setup, without any doubt. 1440p isn't such a bad option either. Honestly, your 6800xt remains quite solid for 1080p gaming.

Check if the price gap between that CPU and the 9800x3D is significant.

This processor will make an excellent combination.

6800xt remains a solid 1440p GPU option. With the availability of 5080 models, you might also see updates for the 9070xt. The x3d CPUs are also performing well.
