0-20k Rtx 5080 with 5600x at 1440p

What is a better upgrade in all your opinions, 5080 with 5700x3d or spend that to buy a oled monitor? 32 inch 4k 240hz one or lg 42c4?

Mostly single player story games
oled any day for me, esp if you can live with oled precautions and are ok with playing in darker rooms.
I have 3080 and 32 4k, and visual jump from ips to oled+hdr is pretty large.
I do play older games where performance will be better and vram is not an issue.

27 1440p oled has dropped in price the most. Cheapest msi 27 1440p oled is in 50s now.
oled TVs might be better than monitors but you will need some space and distance.
 
Yeah also 5700x3d prices are gonna skyrocket soon. Only old stock is available at 20k. In US, the prices are $249 and in China $230. This translates to 25k minimum.
I think the reason behind high US pricing is due to stock availability since the launch. I read about people not able to find it easily when it launched. In some countries it was not available/launched at all. For China I'm not sure. There is also 5600X3D which is not available here in India but seen outside easily.
 
I don't think just a 5700x3d will give me a huge boost with the 3080. Correct me if I am wrong
I upgraded from an i5 12400 to 9800X3D with 7900GRE. IMO you can upgrade for the uplift in 1% low fps, but there's no urgency.

Avg fps improved a lot in CoD BO6 MP, going up from 130fps to 200fps (it was being CPU bottlenecked). In other games, like CP 2077, Black Myth benchmark, saw improvement in 1% low. Improvement in CoD benchmark wasn't much but in game improvement is definitely there.

My results:

Yes, might happen as 5700X3D was easily available for 18k or so few months back.

That's such a nice chart. Only thing missing is that there should be uplift percentage for 1% lows as well for easy comparison considering that is what X3D chips are famous for. Also should have been included a few games that like X3D chips as well.

I was too lazy to test more games. Had CP2077 & BO6 installed, installed the benchmark tool for other 2. I wish MH Wilds had 1% low in its benchmark numbers. I wanted to do a benchmark run of FF VII Rebirth & MS FS but lack of inbuilt benchmark tool dicouraged me.

Suggest some other games which have in built benchmarks, maybe will use them for other testing in future.

I don't remember off the top like that. You will have to google to find out.
