Help should I do a CPU upgrade?

Hey, so I am running on a RTX 5070 right now with a 5 7600x CPU 32gb ram ddr5, I was curious if it is worth it to upgrade to 7 9800x3d as I only use my PC for gaming, I am currently using a 1440p monitor.

It'll be minor improvement in GPU limited scenarios. Better frame pacing/1% lows. If that's worth it to you, sure. More noticeable uplift if you're playing at 1080p, not as much if its 1440p. I made the jump for a 5080, but probably wouldn't for a 5070.

It isn't so easy for me unfortunately, but if the difference is too big or worth it I may try to get it

Got it, thank you so much !

Why force it if you don't have the budget for it.

u/Background_Tax4652

If you have the money for it, sure.

The answer is definitely no then.

Not worth, better off waiting for a bigger upgrade when you need it. Especially at 1440p

You would only gain about 5 fps on average going from a 7600X to a 9800X3D with a 5070 according to this Hardware Canucks video: https://youtu.be/TXKyQYiLro8?si=CcNvPm-FRtI0b5DH&t=650

if your GPU usage is maxing out at an unlocked framerate, no. 7600x is plenty of power for a 5070 at 1440p. Maybe if you play Valorant/CS2 or Tarkov religiously

A 5070/9070 is on the edge of where I'd say it's a fair argument as to whether or not DDR5 is even worth it in the first place. AM5 is a good platform, it's premium and not economy and any AM5 CPU can handle those GPUs. Even DDR4 platforms are often able to handle it, and so spending hundreds extra on a better GPU often works out better than spending hundreds extra on RAM. Unfortunately AM5 is over-promised, too many people hope that next-Gen X3D will save a weak GPU. A $300-$500 CPU unfortunately isn't a substitute for a $600-$3,500 GPU. Many, if not most, users will need to spend big money on a GPU upgrade before they will need to upgrade their AM5 CPUs.
