Is it worth going from 5600g to 5700x3d at 1440p?
Posted by Particular-Abroad815@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 27 comments
Hi, so i just got a 1440p monitor and was wondering if it was worth upgrading my 5600g to 5700x3d. I don't really play one type of game, so its not like im buying for certain types or games, i play basically any type. I would want a 15-30+fps increase, so is that possible in most games?
Thanks

It would be worth it to be honest, however I there is a big thing that you should consider here and that is AMD is heavily rumored to be re releasing the 5800x3D 10th anniversary addition in Q2 this year.
I think the 5600g should hold you over good until then and you can snatch a 5800x3D sometime this summer

thanks! How much do you think the 5800x3d will cost? Is it being released in the uk
SatisfactionKlutzy18@reddit
From what I see it’s supposed to be 300 dollars or less or around 220ish pounds. Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this.
The bottom line this is supposed to be a competitive budget alternative for AMD platform owners. They are doing it because of the insane cost of ram at the moment

What's your GPU? How much would you be paying for the 5700X3D?
Particular-Abroad815@reddit (OP)
5070ti, forgot to say. Around 200-200 GBP
aragorn18@reddit
That's actually a good price and would be a good match for that GPU.

If you can wait, the 5800X3D is being re-released this year for the AM4 10 year anniversity.
If you can pick one of those up at MSRP, you could probably get one brand spanking new with warranty.
Or you can ignore me and get the 5700x3d, cause 200gbp ain't bad, especially not where I'm from. They're asking about 300 GBP

Is it being released in the UK? Heard the 5800x3d isnt a big jump from 5700x3d, however the warranty and the fact that it will be new could make it worth it. How much will the 5800x3d cost roughly?
PixelPete27@reddit
I think it'll be released in the UK or worldwide, would be crazy for them to solely release in the US and not ship anywhere.
The MSRP of the 5700x3d a few years ago when it was released was $250 USD, so, I'm thinking this one should be around $300 USD.
Where I am, people want double that for a used one right now, it's absurd. And you never know with AMD, they could juice up the 5800X3D a bit, over the original!
But if you can pick up a 5700x3d cheaper, it's honestly a great chip, and you can game on it sooner.

Exactly that.
RTX 5090 - forget AM4, go 9850X3D.
RTX 4090, 5080 - definitely consider a 5700X3D.
9070XT, 5070 Ti, 4080, 7900XTX - could be worth it.
9070, 5070, 4070 Super/Ti - maybe, but probably not worth it.
Anything worse - probably need a $500+ GPU upgrade first.

You said the 5080 you should definitely consider. Would the same factor apply if i overclocked my 5070ti to run near 5080? At 1080p, my 5070ti never really exceeds 60/65 degrees, however ik 1440p will increase it. And yeah, ik it depends on the chip for how good the overclock is, but if i could get it stable near 5080, would the same logic apply?

If you're looking for comparisons, you might find better benchmarks comparing the 5700X3D to a 3600

Yes it is worth it. I went from a 5700x to a 5800x3d and always gamed at 1440p and it was worth it specially for CPU intensive games. I also had a 3060ti and went to a 9070XT which is on par with your 5070ti (my old build was 5700x + 3060ti). I upgraded my GPU first so I had a 5700x with my 9070XT. Obviously the jump was significant coming from a 3060 ti. In gaming I gained 20-50 fps for the games I play from 5700x to 5800x3d at 1440p almost max settings (optimized HUB settings mostly) To give an example, while playing AC odyssey I went from 130-170 fps to 145-200 fps. On average though the gains are about 10-30 fps with your minimum settings getting a bigger gain compared to your old CPU. You'll see a bigger jump as the 5600g runs slower than the 5700x.

How much FPS you'll gain, depends very heavily on your GPU and the game you play.
No way of telling you how much performance you'll gain, without knowing GPU + game
Particular-Abroad815@reddit (OP)
5070ti. I play both racing, shooters, aaa, indie games, like most types. I dont really have a type of game
Calm-Bid-8256@reddit
You'll notice it a lot in some game and a little ot not at all in others.
You can check while gaming how your GOU utilization is. Anything below a constant 99-100% means you will gain GPS by upgrading your CPU.
Gameplay will feel much smoother too, cause the x3d processor will improve the 1% lows by a lot in most games.
If you can find a 5700x3d at a decent price, the uograde would be pretty nice. Especially cause you have a GPU that's very powerful

Thanks

It'll help with your 1% lows so feel smoother overall, but don't expect too much in terms of fps gains unless you're on very cpu-heavy titles.

At 1440p, do you think it would be more beneficial to upgrade 16gb to 32gb ram, or cpu?
f1rstx@reddit
worth it, 5600g is pretty bad CPU and it's heavily bottleneck 5070Ti
Powerful-Ad2869@reddit
Depends on the Games you play, If the game you are playing is CPU bound, then yes even on 1440p the 5700X3D will give you a significant boost, but if the game you are playing is GPU Bound, the results will not be that big, but it will still be an improvement(more or less)
Illustrious-Owl1446@reddit
it would be quite the improvement if you're rocking a 5070 ti with a 5600g, the 5600g is usually what you'd pair with 1080p mid range gpus like the 4060 or the 5060
Naerven@reddit
If your GPU isn't pegged at 100% usage qhitin game then there would be room for improvement from a better CPU. This is some you should be able to just look atamd know.

thanks, will check
