I'm actually curious what the upcoming 7800x3d will deliver, and at what pricepoint. I think the wait could be worth while... like begin April if I'm correct?

Thanks! very useful reply!

:ROFLMAO: Yeah, guess it is

Big thanks for the replies everyone! I gathered a lot of new insights thanks to you all (y)

I actually listed the upgradekit from amazon.de - with roughly the same specs. But it doesn't exist anymore. I feel sad now.

True! But my 5950x lacklustered on the VR front, but delivered an astounishing performance on C4D and After Effects. So maybe the 7900x - 4090 combo would do very well? I read about the minor difference between 7950x and 7950x3d. Regarding price, it's a no brainer then for the 7950 x

Thanx for the reply all! So, if I'm correct, with a 4090GPU, an upgrade to a 13900 will be better for productivity/sim combo (also VR)? But needs a beefy PSU. Allthough the 7950x3D looks promising and is much less power hungry (I think the 7800x3D would be more bang for the buck) the extra 3D...

Good point, This upgrade is intended to last for the next half decenium - give or take on HDD's, but my current 4Tb will do - I have a 40Tb Nas for project backup.

Thanks for the reply, Please do bear in mind that I'm a dedicated iRacer and Flight Simmer. But if the x3D isn't worth it - this would be a very good argument, regarding the difference in price range between the 7x and the 7x3d my 5950x delivered everything in needed for C4D, adobe and Unreal...

Thanx for your answer, Both your options are futureproof, I'd rather spend the extra buck now in a single upgrade, than two extra bucks afterwards. Sidenote, I can pass the ddr4 ram to my kids computer - which is also due for an update. He doesn't need 64Gb ram though. I'll settle with selling...

So, I'll start with the career description. I am a University teacher at a School of Arts in Belgium. My main activity consits in teaching students everything Motion Design related, ranging from Cinema 4D, Adobe CC - and looking into Blender and Unreal for the near future. Since our school is...

Thanks all for the great advice. I think I'll wait for the next-gen X3D variant the. Seems to make more sense. 10% doesn't do the switch enough justice, also since I use the rig for Blender, After Effects & Unreal.

Thanks m8! That's very clear. We'll stay with what we have than 🆒

Hi, I'm no computer wizard, so this could be a plain stupid question. My current 5950x is paired with a 3090RTX I mainly play MFS2020 in VR with a Reverb g2, and planning to invest in a 40-series in a few months. Since the 5800X3D is quite cheap now, during Black Friday, could it be an...
