Coming from a 5600 might be a side-grade but for 1080p/1440p I don't think you need more. Nice price too

If you're running a Ryzen 2600 or 3600 this is a no brainer upgrade

Overall it's a sidegrade. Youre going down in cores and clock speed but up in cache. Only worth it if you only game on your PC and want the highest possible fps in competitive games. If you use your PC for productivity as well or play a mix of competitive and single player games, I'd stick with the 5800XT.

I keep seeing x3d chips pop back up and wanting to upgrade my 5800x...but then I look at benchmarks and its really not much of an uplift at 1440p or 4k resolution.

Youtuber benchmarks often only show 1080p benchmarks where difference is more significant.
As you go up in resolution it's much more diminishing returns.

A big difference on x3d is that it reduces the 1% and frame drops on a lot of competitive games. This can be an issue even with stronger processors

I have a 5600X and I've always wanted the 5600X3D but now I think I'll pass because it just doesn't make sense to pay double the price of the 5600X for only max 30% better performance. I would be better off using that $170 on a stronger GPU.

This is the rare X3D chip variant. It pulls its weight far above more powerful cpus in the gaming department. I'm surprised to see this less than 200$ with the way the market is going.

Yes but he is correct because I bought the 5600X for $85 when I was building the PS5 Pro Killer PC a week before the PS5 Pro was released 2 years ago. that is why it doesn't make sense to spend 100% more money (on top of already having the 5600X) for only max 30% more performance.

Haven't seen this in a bit, bought this back in 2023 or so and its still trucking along. Was a nice jump over the standard 5600.
