I’m confident it was successful because I prefer to retain everything, particularly hardware details, up to the newest release. The best quality I can achieve is 1080p, though running a game on multiple monitors might be a better test. If my motherboard can handle the 5800X3D—available for around 350 euros new—I could upgrade it since I already have a 360mm radiator for cooling. Unless I also need to replace the board, I’ll go ahead and purchase it as soon as possible. This way, I can invest in a significant amount of money without having to upgrade again in about two years.
It appears on the support list; simply update to BIOS 6042 or newer. This will bring your system up to the latest specifications. If that’s your goal, proceed!
It's a really powerful CPU, but for your needs a 5600 would suffice. You won't notice any improvements by moving to the 5800x3d unless you also upgrade your graphics card. A 3600 should be fine; it mainly affects my 3060 in BF2042 and doesn't impact anything else.
If you're not looking to upgrade your GPU, skip the 5800X3D. It's a powerful CPU and I can't back it up (usually), but for the 980Ti it's just too much. It's essentially the same as the GTX 1070, though the X3D will give you more frames than any other CPU with that GPU—uncertain if it's the best choice. Just pick a 5600(X) and you'll see big gains over the 2400G for a fraction of the cost. Right now Amazon has the 5600X for €166 here: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08166SLDF?tag=...th=1&psc=1
I’ll start once I’m back home for holidays, and the costs might be a little lower than expected. I’m planning to replace my current GPU when I notice the 980Ti is no longer sufficient for my usual tasks, even though it’s just a step toward a bigger upgrade—I chose the X3D for that reason.
