Someone let me know when it's beneficial, cost to performance ratio wise, to update my 5800X to its 3D variant.

Personally if I already had a 5800x I probably wouldn't upgrade to the 3d, though there would likely be some gains, especially if you're cpu bound on a game.

Here's like 40 games where they're compared on a nividia 3090:

I upgraded from a 3700x to a 5800x3d so there was a big boost.

But a 5800x3d isn't even much cheaper than a 7800x3d, and the socket type switched now. So if I already had a 5800x I'd probably just wait and switch to a 3d chip in the future when I was ready to upgrade my motherboard. If cost is no object and you're not gonna swap the motherboard for a long time, then yes it's the best gaming cpu you're going to be able to use with that board and likely always will be.

Thanks for sharing would your suggestion change if current CPU is below 5800x, 5700 or 5600 lets say?
