Should I choose the Ryzen 7 5700X3D or the 5800X for gaming?

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?
Answers
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.
