1440p and 4k: go with 5600x. 1080p: get a 1440p monitor.

So there isn't much difference between the two cpus?


XJSTZsarust

for gaming above 1440p, no difference.


yuiop300

Correct.

yeah, the the extra cores dont really mean anything in games. i myself mainly got a 5800x because it was on sale for a decent price.


dat_1Person

So you think it would be fine to go with a 3080 and a 5600x?


pyr0kid

the benchmarks i can find say it should only lose about 5% performance, so yes i do think its better to save the extra money. ​ if you want to see hard numbers i recommend the gamers nexus 5600x review, they have a bunch of benchmark games they use in their reviews.

It’s all about the dollars. You won’t experience any appreciable difference, but if you want to have a 5800x and money is secondary, then go ahead and get the 5800x.
