Question Would a 5800x be considered an upgrade to a 3600?

[mattcitko1999]

So my build is around 5 years and I don't want to replace everything and go am5, having a 3600 would getting a 5800x make a noticible difference? Only asking beause newegg has it for $128, if it would bump up my frames noticibly, I'd probably want to swap it out. Or would getting a 5700x3d be a better option? or should I leave it be till I'm ready for a full upgrade to am5? Not really noticing problems in terms of fps but if I could get more I could increase settings with same fps, just not sure if it would increase enough.

Build righ now-
ryzen 5 3600
h150i pro cooler
2070 super
x570 motherboard
32gb 3600 ram
corsair hx100i psu

If gaming is the goal, get the 5700x3d. It should provide a substantial bump in your min fps/1% lows and reduce stutter in CPU bound titles.

gaming benchmark above says 5800x is 12 percent above 3600

same benchmark says 5700x3d is 95 percent above 3600

If upgrading within AM4 then I would certainly go with the 5700x3d as it is the most significant cpu upgrade you can go for. It will offer a boost and provide the gpu with more fps.

The caveat here is that your 2070 super will then be the limiting factor which may prevent you from getting a significant boost but the experience in general should be better with fewer dips in cpu heavy games.

What resolution are you currently using out of interest?

I personally always stagger my cpu/ motherboard and gpu upgrades and so the extended platform life that a 5700x3d will give you should enable a gpu upgrade before you eventually switch to a new cpu in a few years or more time.
