I'm considering an upgrade to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D while switching to an AM5 motherboard. I'm currently using an Intel I7 11700K with an RTX 5080, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and an Asus H510 A motherboard. I'm looking for a performance boost particularly for gaming at 1440p with high refresh rates in modern titles. Here's what I'll be upgrading to: an Asrock B650 Steel Series motherboard, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and 32 GB of DDR5 Corsair RAM. Do you think this upgrade will be worth it?

I've also seen a big difference after upgrading CPUs. I switched from a 10600K to a 9700X and it was a dramatic change. Going to the 9800X3D should provide a noticeable boost, particularly for gaming.
Absolutely, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is considered one of the best CPUs for gaming right now. If you're looking to upscale your performance, especially at 1440p, this upgrade is definitely worth it!

Can you share some specific performance metrics? I'm curious to see what kind of difference I might expect.
