Future upgrade

[potsdaman]

Hello everyone !!!

I think about upgrade in early 2025, and search for better option, and start save some money for this.

Option 1

Platform upgrade AM4=>AM5

Currently I have:
MB Gigabyte B450M S2H
CPU Ryzen 5 5600
RAM Corsair Vengeance 3200 Mhz 16 Gb
GPU Radeon RX Aorus 6700XT 12Gb
PSU 750W SuperFlower Leadex Silver
SSD Nvme 500 Gb WD black SN770 + 2 Sata SSD Crucial
Monitor Samsung Odyssey G6 32" 2560*1440

What I have plan:
MB Gigabyte Aorus Elite B650 AX or Gigabyte gaming B650 AX or ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WI-FI
CPU Ryzen 7 7800X3D ( or better use 7700 ,cause in QHD will be not so much improve, or maybe it will be nice price for 7600X3D)
RAM TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory

Option 2

Just GPU => Something from new RDNA4 or Blackwell with performance about 7900XT or 4070 TI

Option 3

CPU=>5700 X3D
GPU => Something from new RDNA4 or Blackwell with performance about 7900XT or 4070 TI

May be have another options.

Main games - Battlefield in online and new singleplayer games.

What do you think?

Thanks!

For the most VFM BFB option. Option 3. 6700XT should still be pretty solid for 1440p and the 5700X3D should really help boost your FPS.

Keep your 6700XT unless you feel that its inadequate for your needs in which case maybe 7800XT if you find one for a really really good price. Prices are currently dropping everywhere. I would avoid the 7900RE and the 7900XT. I dont think they offer enough VFM for 1440p when your 6700XT or 7800XT can play in that res really well.

Also if you dont want to spend money on GPu RIGHT NOW but your 6700XT is feeling weak. Consider downgrading your graphical settings to 'High' instead of 'Ultra' or lowering the shadow quality and waiting for RDNA4.

Ive seen Ultra vs High settings in battlefield games and there is almost no difference at all. High graphical settings still look extremely good

It all depends how much you can save up..
5700x3d or 5800x3d I’d grab a 32gb kit
Then look at Rtx 50 series at the end of the year or rx8000 series next year… 6700xt should still run fairly okay till then might have to drop some settings

As someone who went from 5600X to 5700X3D after upgrading a 3070 to a 7900XTX, I'd say you don't really need to get out of AM4 even with a card like mine if you can get any Ryzen 5000X3D. For the 6700XT you currently have or any newer card in the performance ballpark of either 7900XT or 4070Ti, that'd be even truer.
So I vote option 3 without batting an eye (upgrade the GPU first, though).

With battlefield (assuming B2042) at 1440p on ULTRA i bet you're heavily GPU-bottlenecked. In this scenario, OPTION 2 carries merit. I was in a similar boat and even after dropping a RTX 3080 in the build paired with 5800X3D, i'm still 'mostly' GPU limited. A platform swap won't bring much to the table other then throwing money at a problem that doesn't exist. Battlefield 2042 is one of the few titles which plays a little smoother with 8 cores hence selling the 5600 and throwing some extra cash for a 5700X3D has its benefits (incl. fattened up 3D-cache). Either way i'd prioritise superior GPU power first and consider the CPU swap as a secondary option later down the line (unless money is no object).

For 1440p GPU upgrade... preferably a 16GB/+ VRAM card. On the Nvidia side, a 4070 TI SUPER/4080 SUPER. Or AMD 7900XT/XTX (all options indicating level of performance or better if you're waiting for next gen)

I was going to suggest doubling up on your system memory too but seeing the board only supports 2 dimm slots i guess 16GB for now should be enough unless specific games suggest or demand otherwise.

It really depends on how long you want to keep the rig relevant / gaming.
A 5700X3D or 5800X3D is going to get you one more really solid GPU upgrade (4090-level performance being the ceiling).

Most probably RDNA 4 is a flop, minor refinement of RDNA 3, which is not worth it even for a release, hence it is delayed. It was scheduled to be already released by August 2024.

I guess, your entire exercise is a waste of time.

Better wait TSMC 2nm process node and its products.
