Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to get the most out of my new RTX 4070 for VR and competitive gaming. Right now, I've got a Ryzen 5 3600 and I'm finding that it's bottlenecking my performance. I've narrowed my choices down to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the 5800X. I've heard that the 5800X is powerful, but the 5700X3D has better cache for gaming, which seems important. The 5700X3D is about 13% more expensive and harder to find where I live. Is the extra effort and cost worth it for the 5700X3D?

For gaming, the 5700X3D is definitely the way to go. The 3D V-Cache gives it an edge, making it better for most games. While there might be a few cases where the clock speed of the 5800X shines, overall, the 5700X3D will offer you better performance in gaming.
Thanks for the input!
