Difference between 5700X3D and 5800X?

[Eurimeee]

Budget (including currency): Enough for either CPU

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1440P gaming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 3070TI. 1440P 170hz monitors 

 

Trying to decide if it's worth getting a 5700X3D or a 5800X. From what I've seen online, the 5800X performs better(?) yet costs less. Is this the case or am I misunderstanding something?

The 5800X3D performs better than the 5700X3D in games. Don't confuse a 5800X3D and a 5800X, they are not the same.

Correct, I was recommended either the 5700X3D and 5800X for a build upgrade so I was trying to figure out which would be the right move!

The 5800X is a non-3D chip, the 5700X3D has 3D Vcache on the processor which really helps boost performance in games. The 5800X does have a higher clock speed so in some scenarios, most likely multithreaded like Cinebench or rendering, the 5800X will come ahead, although just slightly. For gaming, the X3D chip is far superior and will last you for a while longer than the 5800X.

Which CPU do you have now?

 

If you're not going to upgrade the 3070Ti till you upgrade the whole platform/PC, then get a 5700X and call it a day. It's enough for a 3070Ti on 1440p.

 

If you're highly competitive or if you plan on upgrading the GPU without changing the platform, then get an X3D, either the 5700X3D or 5800X3D.

 

The non-x3d chips are a bit better for work (rendering, compression/decompression, encoding/transcoding, video editing, ...), but they are much worse for many games.

 

If you're on a 3700X or 3800X, the upgrade to a 5700X makes no sense on 1440p.
