Worth upgrading to 5800x 3d from 3800x? Potential bottleneck?

[FineVisionz]

I mainly game and do some occasional video/photo editing.  Someone brought up that I may be bottlenecked if I get a 4090 or AMD's equivilent upcoming GPU with my current 3800x.

 

After seeing a comparison video.  I'm extremely surprised and kinda in disbelief that the frame increase from the 3800x to the 5800x3d is so large.  (up to 150 more frames in some games) Video

 

Curret settup is;

 

1440p 144hz

Titan X Pascal (plan to upgrade soon)

3800x

If you are set on getting a 4090.   Get a 4K 144 Hz or 4K 120Hz OLED display first.  You will surely notice that over a CPU upgrade.

4090 is pointless without a 4K high refresh rate display.

This isn't a bad idea at all!  Me personally though, I don't upgrade GPU's very often so I kinda look at is as future proofing for a long time hopfully.

That is true. Anything above a 3080 or a 3080Ti will be bottlenecked by your CPU in CPU-demanding titles, unless you game at 4K. A 5800X3D is a worthy upgrade for gaming, but only if you have a significantly faster GPU than what you have now.

Ahhh.  I don't really plan to go higher than 2k.

 

Seems like most of the new GPU's will be better than the 3080 so looks like I may need a better CPU.

 

Thanks!
