Build Advice Is the Ryzen 5 5600x enough for next generation of GPUs ?

[Aljosa59265]

Hello. My current rig consists of Ryzen 5 5600x and RTX 3070 and I mostly play games at 4K. With the new GPUs coming soon from both Nvidia and AMD, I’ve been wondering if the 5600x would give me any problems if I were to upgrade to RTX 4080 12GB once it comes out with a different name or an RDNA 3 equivalent. I intend to keep playing games at 4K.

At 4K the games become gpu dependant so you're fine with the 5600X.
