Is it worth upgrading from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a Ryzen 7 5700X3d? (lemmy.world)

I was planning on picking up Cyberpunk a while ago but noticed I no longer reach the recommended system requirements since the last update. Is it worth upgrading from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a Ryzen 7 5700X3d? The 5700X3d seems like the best choice as it seems like a pretty decent jump in gaming performance without having to buy a new motherboard. And although the 5800X3d would be even better it’s ~£300 compared to ~£200 for the 5700X3d so doesn’t seem worth the price difference.

My gpu is an RTX2080 super so that would probably become the bottleneck, but I’m planning on upgrading that a bit later on if I upgrade the cpu first (not sure what to go with for that either yet, I’m still debating between Nvidia and AMD)

You definitely don't use CUDA then. That is hardware accelerated machine learning basically.

For you usecase then it doesn't make much of a difference. DLSS 3.0 is indeed better than FSR, but there are few games that use it i guess. DLSS 2.x and FSR are about on par with each other and FSR is enabled in all games. . Many/most of people don't even realize that DLSS/FSR is disabled when gaming as the vast vast majority of games don't even have it and and most don't think about it, I have no idea if you are in the same boat, but then it makes no sense to base a decision based off of features you don't use, in my opinion.

Yeah I didn’t think I used cuda! Most reviews/benchmarks seem to place the 4070 ahead of the RX 7800XT though. The only reasons AMD is still tempting is the extra VRAM and better Linux compatibility. I’ll have to have a think about it, thanks for your help though!
