Is the 5700X3D Worth the Extra Cost Over the 5700X?
Asked by

I've recently upgraded my GPU to a 9070XT from a 2060 Super while gaming at 2K resolution, but I'm still experiencing disappointing frame rates. When I was using the 2060 Super, I was getting around 50 FPS in Arc Raiders, and now with the 9070XT, it's only about 60 FPS. The 5700X is priced around $200, while the 5700X3D is about $400. I primarily use my PC for gaming and plan to switch to AM5 when prices drop in a couple of years. Right now, I'm on a 2700X and have 16GB of 3000MHz RAM.

While the 5700X3D is around 10-20% faster, it's not worth spending an additional $200 if you're on a budget. Have you looked into benchmarks? In some scenarios like Arc Raiders, it performs better, but your games might not take full advantage of the extra cache.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend paying double for the 5700X3D. The 5700X is a solid choice and will give you a decent performance boost without breaking the bank.

I agree! The 5700X will definitely be a big improvement for you. Just to note, transitioning from a 2060 Super to a 9070XT should ideally show more than just a 10 FPS increase unless there are other issues at play.

For your gaming habits and considering future upgrades to AM5, I'd say stick with the 5700X. It’s still a solid processor, and paying extra right now might not yield the performance boost you're hoping for.

If you're primarily playing CPU-intensive games, the 5700X3D might be a better investment in the long run, especially since you want to hang onto your setup for a while. Just keep in mind that it could be a waste if those games don’t utilize the extra power.
