#2oh ffs, I was just thinking about upgrading my current PC with a new GPU and CPU and just keeping the same 64gb of AM4 DDR4 I already have. But now even the prices for the CPUs are skyrocketting? Eff everything about this and curse Sam Altman.

#3Based on the benchmarks that I've seen, 5800X3D is still a good CPU for games, when paired with a very expensive GPU, otherwise a 5600X is cheaper and acts less than a heater over the winter. Someone with the money for a nVidia 5800 GPU will pair it with a 9800X3D, for most games even 16 GB of RAM will work and would be cheap enough, while for applications one does not need X3D, so what exactly is the point of 5800X3D scalping?

It’s impossible to keep my 5800x below 90C under full load.

5800x3d / 5700x3d are MUCH MUCH MUCH faster than non-x3d in some games that are CPU bound (for some even 2x / 3x faster than non-x3d) so even with a "slower" GPU it can still be a large upgrade

This is where the 5700X shines. 8 cores, still cool.

The Ryzen CPUs seem to be designed to spike as high as whatever thermal limit you configure with Precision Boost Overdrive.

#8Be careful with these older boards. Some might be PCIe 3.0 making your GPU and NVMe dog slow.

#9BS. A used (not available new) 5800X3D is 350€, while a new 9800X3D is around 460€.

Even like 2016 vintage boards were PCIe 4.0 so I don’t think this is a huge issue?
