    1k $, meanwhile in Belgium, paid mine 1700€ (almost 1900$usd) - As rock 7900 xtx aqua - upon release that is. Now i believe it’s still around 1400~ish € - close to 1550$.

    Was it worth it ? … definetly considering i’m running the 45"LG monitor (45gr95qe-b) at 240hz oled panel.

    Only the 7000x cpu generation doesn’t feel like a worth upgrade path (from my 5950x), probably on the 9000x

      I had a 5800X, went to AM5 on a 7950X3D, then I last week put a 5950X in the old board for some compute and can manual OC via Ryzen Master to 4.3GHz and the 7950 only hits 4.6GHz at stock with like 10% more performance, so it’s mostly clocks and cache stuff.

      5950X is a fuckin beast.

        Yeah, i agree. i’ve got mine -30 curve, boost at 5.1ghz on 3 cores at the same time & the rest ccd 0 at 4.9 & the ccd1 at 4.5~4.6ghz all cores… guess i got a lucky gold chip lol

      Worth it for me to go to the 7950X3D (complete new build - thus begins the waiting for the courier period), going from a 2700X/RTX2080 to a 7950X3D/7900XTX :D.

      Gonna slap a 5800X3D in the current PC and it’s going to the boy, the RTX2080 has held up really well, the bottleneck is really the 2700X.

      7800X3D is around 40% faster but I guess you don’t really need it at that resolution.

        In gaming, probably but still need them cores/thread for others stuff.

        Specially when my chip goes all cores at 4.6/7 GHz or 5.1ghz of the first ccd in gaming
