Question rtx5080 recommended cpu

[ykmtx]

what is the bare minimum cpu recommendation for rtx5080? is 9700x ok? will we get bottleneck if we pair it with ryzen 9700x or we need something like 9800x3d for no bottleneck

Depends on what resolution you intend to play.

this year im upgrading my pc i was thinking if i should upgrade or not i have rx6800xt i mainly use it at 1080p but im going to buy a new 2k monitor if i feel like it

1080p, you will want a 9800x3d, no question. 1440p, still not a terrible idea. To be prefectly honest, your 6800xt is still pretty good for 1080p gaming.

7800x3D if there's a substantial difference in cost between that cpu and the 9800x3D.

Ryzen 7 9800X3D will be a great pair
