Thanks. Any idea when the refresh is due? I am thinking that if it affects used pricing I might be able to grab a 5950X. I have to think that way due to budget.If you did you would get marginal gains. Maybe wait for the amd refresh and see then.
I think we will get more details really soon, maybe today even.Thanks. Any idea when the refresh is due? I am thinking that if it affects used pricing I might be able to grab a 5950X. I have to think that way due to budget.
Personally, I'd wait for the performance figures to be made available for the 3D Stacked ram versions of the 5000 series before making a decision. IF the claims of ~15% - 20% increase pan out, it may be worth the upgrade...but I wouldn't pull the trigger before then...(just my .02)Current, 3800X, 570 MB, 1080TI FE, 1K pwr supply. I do not OC outside of "legal" OC. I just got a LHR 3070 at MSRP from EVGA. Should I upgrade to a better CPU and how high would I have to upgrade to actually make any difference in gaming?
I still find the 3800X to be a fine performer but like a lot of us here I am always looking for another jump, which is why I took the 3070 to replace my 1080TI. I know I can't afford a top of the line refreshed chip but I am hoping that maybe a used 5900 series chip would let me feel the difference and still be in reach..Personally, I'd wait for the performance figures to be made available for the 3D Stacked ram versions of the 5000 series before making a decision.

If I remember correctly from your thread over in vid cards you're running a 60Hz 4k screen. I don't think I'd bother upgrading your CPU for gaming unless you get a high refresh screen first. That'll change eventually, but it could easily take a few years. For other stuff, IMHO 3800X->5800X isn't enough of a jump. I'd be looking for a 5900X or 5950X if I had your mainboard or waiting for news on the 3D cache versions.I still find the 3800X to be a fine performer but like a lot of us here I am always looking for another jump, which is why I took the 3070 to replace my 1080TI.
