CPU upgrade: 5500x3d or 5700x
Posted by geppexD@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments
I have a ryzen 5 3600 paired with a 4060ti, when i got the gpu i was aware of the bottleneck and didn't mind it much, but now i feel like i can squeeze more of my gpu and also wanted to buy a 240hz monitor, in my country the 5500x3d is $202 and the 5700x is $245, i wanted a 5700x3d/5800x3d but those are extinct/ overpriced, am5 is out of the question(ram) and if in the future i upgrade, I can give it to my litlle brother so im not really losing anything. Also, in my pc i mainly play cs2,valorant,dota 2 and occasionally AAA games, planned to do a bit of 3d modeling but mainly for printing so not rendering anything and nothing else. What would you guys recommend, asking for honest opinion/advice. Note: sorry for my english as it is not my first language

i would say get the 5500x3d. its gonna push higher fps in those games like valorant and cs2 just cuz of the x3d

Stock yes, but tunned 5700x will be faster. 4.85Ghz vs 3.95Ghz on 5500x3d is more than 20% difference in frequency.

If you have nice b550 or better board and 3200-3600 cl16-18 RAM than better go with 5700x. For 4060ti need b550+ board to work with PCI-E gen4. If you have not or don't want to deal with PBO tuning, stock 5500x3d better in games.
