5820k @ 4.3GHz w/2080Ti setup, gaming @ 4k/60Hz. I plan on upgrading my GPU and display when the newer cards are easier to get a hold of. Is it time to upgrade my CPU as well? Im not sure if I should just wait it out for Zen 4 or something...

I do all these things so... Looking at the 6900xt, hoping it’s that much better than the 3080 in 4k/60Hz w/ Ray Ray Tracing to justify the $1k price, otherwise I’ll wait for better availability of the 3080 or whatever Nvidia’s version of the...

Need a 6900xt with dual hdmi 2.1 ports.

It's been at least a decade since I've owned an AMD card.

Waiting for benches on the 6900XT. Looks like I will be going AMD for the first time in almost a decade.

Voodoo or Voodoo 2, I can't remember.

I was thinking of that, but there are no guarantees that AM5 (or whatever AMD calls it) will offer similar upgrade options as AM4 has. I will probably wait- I thought the new chips this time around would require a new chipset but I guess I was...

At 4k/60 I'm not likely to be CPU bound in any game, even with a 3080 or better, but I suspect my average low framerates will be pretty inconsistent compared to a newer CPU. Still not sure. Definitely will be upgrading either this round or the next.

My 5820k has served me well, I've gotten almost 6yrs out of it. I'm wondering if I should even bother upgrading at this point and wait for the next round? Most of my gaming is 4k/60Hz- I imagine upgrading won't help me push any more FPS but will...

When are the benchmarks supposed to be available? I'm bummed I just bought a 3.0 NVME. Oh well, I guess it's not going to matter all that much.

Being that I have a 5820k and I have to upgrade my CPU, motherboard and ram, I want my next setup to last as long. I wouldn't mind springing a bit extra.

Time for me to upgrade my 5820k@4.3GHz. 5900x is the CPU of choice for gaming I take it?

Well, if the 6900XT does challenge the 3080 that will only push Nvidia put out the 20GB 3080 that much faster. The problem is actually getting one. lol

So for 10-15% why would I even bother? We're talking about 4k/60Hz I presume?

We can hope this will preform better than my 2080Ti but I have my doubts.

Because they have no idea when they're going to get stock I suppose. I'm just holding on to my 2080Ti and waiting for the 20GB 3080's now, 6mos to whenever.

These cards are next to impossible to get anyways. I’ll probably just hold on to my 2080Ti and wait for the 20GB 3080s (whenever that is).

Yup. A month after buying it they announced the UE. I still haven’t played it yet.

I now have 2 coupons, one expiring Oct 31 9PM, the other Nov 1st 1:59AM. :eek:

Average of ~10.5% increase over 3080 in game performance. If this is the norm then it's a pass for me. 20G 3080 here I come...
