So new system time…

Anyways, was thinking if I need to buy a new computer or not.

I am on 5800X3D with a 4090 now. Wondering if throwing in a 13900K system is worth it at this point.

Everything is running fine and most new games are doing over 100 FPS with some pegged to 240 FPS (Plague Tale 2, MW2, Dying Light 2).

Was thinking if the new unoptimized crop of games required a new CPU (Gotham Knights, Callisto, NFS Unbound etc.).
 
I'd stick it out until next gen. There aren't too many games the 5800X3D is struggling in.

Wait for Meteor Lake / 8000 series. You would see some gains going from 5800X3D to 13900K, but IMO, not worth the expense. The 4090 definitely exposes any CPU limitation, though.
 
Yeah would love to see some review with the latest games and to get an idea. All are using older games and not many are benching the 5800X3D anymore.
 
Getting a new system. I don't have it quite yet but all parts are in.

He also gets my 50 inch 4k TV to own as his display at no extra charge. Maybe not the the best.
I don't rip of friends. He insists on paying me money. I was going to give it to him for no charge.
I usually discard old systems to the closet graveyard.
Maybe you don't have any friends?

going all out there, i see. That thing will be a monster for gaming, have fun with it.
 
Personally I would have waited for the Ryzen 7000 X3D reviews before buying. They're very likely going to be faster for gaming than the 13900K.

Also DDR5-5600 CL36 memory is too slow and it's going to hurt performance.
