Is a upgrade from a AMD Ryzen 7 2700x to 7 5700x3d worth it?

[true eagle]

Paired with a 6700XT, would I see a worthy performance boost or should I just go next gen?

PRIME X470-PRO
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Radeon RX 6700 XT
16GB 3200MHz

I don't know if that would bottleneck at all

but it may be better cost wise to ride out AM4 for as long as possible anyway

@true eagle what resolution do you play at

[true eagle]

2560 X 1080

[outer oasis]

if you're at 1080p you are probably cpu limited then

not sure how much performance you would gain by upgrading though

[true eagle]

I mostly play games like BG3 and Palworld, Not super completive games like CS2. I know BG3 sometimes struggles in the bigger areas of act 3 so it drops below 40FPS

actually

check your cpu usage ingame

per thread

see if any threads are close to 100%

you can use MSI afterburners' overlay

also, have you undervolted / overclocked your cpu and gpu

you can get a few % extra performance by doing that

I am running my CPU at 4Ghz with a AIO H100i Cooler.

[outer oasis]

nice

have you done gpu

I was able to get a decent boost on my 6650xt

[true eagle]

not yet actually

[outer oasis]

what I did was bump up the voltage and increase the frequency until I crashed

then keep the frequency just below that and decrease voltage until I crashed

I ended up with -15mV and +200mhz

iirc

I also increased the power limit to 240W but only furmark can actually make it use that much

otherwise its just frequency limited

if you're just gming, yeah it's worth it

[lament tulip]

3% less than what they'd get with a 5800x3d

[outer oasis]

yes but what I mean is idk how cpu bottlenecked they are

if it's just like a couple % then don't upgrade

there isnt really a good way to measure that tho

[lament tulip]

zen+ architecture with the 2700x, not so much being bottlenecked tbh but going zen2 or zen3 will be between a 20-50/70% performance increase

[lament tulip]

rivatuner ss's overlay, that can run separately from using afterburner

[outer oasis]

yes but if the cpu is not the bottleneck in their system there is no point in upgrading

the longer you wait before upgrading the cheaper parts are

[trail bear]

worth it I had a r5 1400 not to a 7 5800x3d best upgrade ever

ps it's a really hot chip so you need a good case and cooler

[deft imp]

5800x3d maybe

I don't see the 5700x3d being as hot

I know the 5800x non 3d has some typically high power usage resulting in hotter temps

[lament tulip]

similar to the 5700x for thermals, the only downside for both 5500x3d and 5700x3d is no use of pbo2

[deft imp]

oh ok

[lament tulip]

makes it not as tune-able as the 5600/5800x3d can be

[deft imp]

Why can't I find the 5600x3d

Was it the micro center only one?

Or newegg

Idk

[lament tulip]

selected microcenter only
