The incremental cost of the 7xxx series is a lot larger.
the incremental cost of not buying RAM now while it’s cheap is going to be a lot larger too.
how long do you really want to be using that shitty 2018-era 16GB kit? are you comfortable riding it for another 2-3 years until RAM prices finally come down again?
people are about to learn a hard lesson about buying things when they are cheap. RAM prices in 2017 were triple what they were in 2016 (and not shitty kits either, by that point it was 3000C15/3200C16 kinda stuff).
yeah the 7000 series 3d chips are easily a multi gen equivalent upgrade over the 5000 3d chips, and i say this as a 5800x3d owner. unleashing the full power of extra cache and the full ipc of these chips is jsut awesome. hopefully next 3d chips have even more cache.
2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.
I’m so annoyed I let some friends that I thought were a little more knowledgeable talk me out of going AM5 a few weeks ago. Went from 3900X to 5800X3D in an unplanned upgrade because of bottlenecking with a 4090. Everybody told me don’t go AM5 yet, it’s not ready, and this first round isn’t a big enough jump to justify the new board and RAM.
Now I sit here with an awesome machine that could have been awesomer for about €200 more and I’m really considering swapping up using the proceeds from selling off the 3900X/2080ti.
I had the 8700k from those times till this year and it was a mind blowingly significant upgrade. A lot of vr titles were unplayable for me because of steamvr overhead(it’s really crap when you use non valve headsets). F1 23 went from a stutter fest to locked 90.
Although in case of f1, the devs were at fault too because the game is broken with extreme stutter unless you can lock to the refresh rate
It does. There’s a reason opencomposite is so widely adopted on wmr, pimax and oculus headsets. Using steamvr with wmr for example, the shim layer copies the framebuffer and causes a large increase in vram usage as well as cpu usage.
Although in particular case of f1 23 the game itself also causes issues outside of locked refresh rate
I think the 7800/7950X3D is a big leap from the 5800X3D. 2700x to 7800X3D probably feels like a console generation jump.
Actually I was surprised to see the 5800x3d in the top half/quarter of most of the charts.
the jump from 2700x and 5800x3d is easily a generational leap
Yeah but 2700X to 5800X(3D) can be done on the same motherboard with the same RAM!

probably more than that honestly.

Steamvr isn’t causing your stuttering.
It does. There’s a reason opencomposite is so widely adopted on wmr, pimax and oculus headsets. Using steamvr with wmr for example, the shim layer copies the framebuffer and causes a large increase in vram usage as well as cpu usage.
