I'm currently using a Ryzen 7 5800X with a 4070Ti, and during the Open Beta of Battlefield 6, I was getting around 100 to 120 FPS at 1440p with DLSS Quality and 2x Frame Generation. I'm considering upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which I can get for about $280, to stabilize my FPS at 120. Is this upgrade worth it, or should I save my money for a more significant upgrade in the future, like moving to AM5? Looking for any expert advice!

If you want solid performance right now, a 5800X3D should work well with your 4070Ti. Just don't expect groundbreaking improvements unless your system is set up correctly. Honestly, I would recommend keeping an eye on the benchmarks after the game is launched; they often have optimization patches.
Honestly, I'd suggest saving up for a bigger upgrade instead. The 5800X3D can help with FPS and improve the 1% lows, but given its price now, it might not be the best use of your cash. Aiming for something like the 7800X3D would likely be a better investment for the long run.
Agreed! While the 5800X3D is great, the prices for a quality upgrade to AM5 can be similar if you wait a bit and save.
I don’t see the point in switching to 5800X3D. The main difference is lower memory latency, and overall, the performance gain is quite minimal. If you live near a Microcenter, nab a Ryzen 5 9600X bundle for around $300. It’s designed to utilize cores more efficiently, and you can still upgrade to AM5 later.
That 7600X3D bundle sounds much better. You'd get more RAM and a solid motherboard to boot!
Do you have everything set up right? Are you using XMP/DOCP settings and running in dual channel? Your FPS should be better with a 5800X without needing frame generation. You might just have a soft problem in your build.
Yeah, I’ve confirmed XMP is on and it's dual channel. Just generally feels less optimal.
For $280, the 5800X3D isn’t a bad deal. However, keep in mind that upgrading to AM5 and getting a 7800X3D might be better in the long run, especially with future-proofing, since Zen 6 will likely be on that platform.
True! The more advanced tech coming out makes waiting for AM5 a solid choice.
Definitely! After playing games like this, you never know how they’ll perform with updates.
