    Again I’ll be in the spot to get a 9000x or wait for the 9000x3d CPU variant, I hope this time the x3d one will not be too late, if I want the new Nvidia 5000 series GPU. (Praying they aren’t so overpriced that this whole plan is worthless anyways)

    I had that happen with my current 5900x and the 3000 series, but late release of the 5800x3d. But so far only a few games manage to bottleneck my CPU. I guess with frame generation this is more likely to happen. That extra L3 cache would be sweet though.

      The Nvidia 5000 series pricing will make the 4000 series look like charity. You know it yourself!

      Quite a few games I play (lot’s of indie economic strategy/builder type games) would probably benefit from the extra cache, but I also don’t feel like upgrading my 5800X to 5800X3D.

      My bigger issue is the lack of support for Win10 in Zen 5. Win11 is basically Win10 with monetization/extra spyware junk (ads, BS AI trash) and a shittier UI (no taskbar on top).

      So maybe it would be best to just update to 5800X3D and go with that.

        I didn’t even know that you can’t put Win10 on Zen5. Wtf!?

          IIRC it’s an APU thing, and last I heard it was just a rumor (could be out of date). Either way, non-LTSC is EOL in a year and a half. If you’re putting in a Zen 5 CPU, the best choice is realistically either Linux or Windows 11 Pro, since Pro can turn off all the bullshit through group policy. My Windows machine I have to have is on 11 Pro and it’s basically Windows 10 with a slightly different taskbar. No Copilot bullshit, no ads, no Bing in Windows Search. If you’re ok your taskbar on the bottom of the screen, IMO it’s the best choice as long as you have to use Windows.
