What is the best Ryzen 7 and good upgrade from 2700X?

[RaputerXpert]

I bought the Ryzen 7 2700X in July 2019 but I want to know which is the best Ryzen 7 UPGRADE from the 2700x?

 

Like a Performance/$   or $/Performance ratio, whatever that is called in 2022?

 

But also the most affordable Ryzen 7  upgrade?

 

I have not kept up with price trends at all, please if u can help a fella out. THX

 

Thanks to all

R5 5600X, unless you need more cores it's the best bang for the buck AFAIK. 6c/12t but it'd trounce the 2700X in multicore still, and on single core it's even further ahead.

r7 5800x3d for gaming
r7 5700 for price/performance and everything else
r5 5600 to save another buck

I would change the options to only 5600 or 5800X3D. It depends on your usage and budget, but the 5600 is a great value right now. And the 5800X3D will max out your AM4 system until your next platform upgrade.

A little confusing to figure out what you're really trying to figure out here. 

 

The best upgrade you can get over your 2700X while spending the least money is a Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X (they perform almost the same and the 5600 is less expensive).

 

The "best" Ryzen 7 chip is the 5800X (for gaming and productivity) or the new 5800X3D (better at gaming, worse for productivity). Of course there are also the Ryzen 9 SKU's above that.

 

It seems you assume you would need a Ryzen 7 to get an improvement because you had a Ryzen 7 before, but that isn't the case.

 

To me you seem like almost the ideal target audience for the 5800X3D: someone with a 3000-series or older Ryzen chip who wants the best gaming upgrade they can get without switching platforms. At $450, it might still be out of your budget though.

I will die on the hill that the 5800x3d is beyond useless at $450 when the 5900x is currently ~$380ish on Newegg/Amazon etc. and performs DRAMATICALLY better in everything besides gaming. Who "only" games on their pc's? It's not like the 5900x is a slouch at gaming either. Imo, the only two Ryzen sku's worth getting are the 5600 or the 5900x. The 5700x/5800x/5800x3d are wayyyyyy too expensive for the benefit they offer over the 5600. The 5600x is okay if it is the same price as the 5600 but otherwise not worth it.

I think most people focus on games and the "everything else" is still gonna perform good enough for them. 

 

As with most things, you get diminishing returns on money spent vs. actual gains. So the pricing on the 5800X3D is not nearly as bad as the i9-12900KS. You also actually get something more for your money other than a factory OC. 

 

As for everything else you do beside gaming....that would really depend on the person. For me all current CPUs are orders of magnitudes faster than required for my non-gaming tasks....so the appeal of the 5800X3D has merit.

 

Still not upgrading though. 10900KF still got the moves.

Me?

 

Despite what a lot of people have made themselves believe, having a lot of Chrome tabs open and listing to Spotify while you game doesn't really count as "multi-tasking." 

 

The actual "productivity" workloads like rendering and editing that are always tested in CPU benchmarks that make people say "This CPU is better if you do things besides gaming" are actually done by a relatively tiny minority. 

 

Don't even get me started on how many people have talked themselves into purchases based on the idea they're gonna stream someday.

Am I alone in remembering a multiyear period when the graphics card for a new build was always the 2nd or 3rd most expensive component?

 

I recall a $350 CPU and a $180-$250 video card followed by a $75-$125 MOBO, then the rest. AND RAM was so cheap, everyone bought the max amount of RAM your motherboard could support.

 

This was maybe 1996-2002, am I close or am I suffering from 'early age onset dementia?'
