    The 7900x3d isn’t that great of a gaming CPU, you’d be better off with the single CCD 7800x3d.

    But if you’re going for high end why wouldn’t you go for the 9800x3d/9950x3d? The only reason I picked the 7000 series was the lack of availability with the 9000 series x3d at the moment. And if you’re getting 90000 series x870e offers a lot of features as standard over x670e.

    Unless you’re getting a 5090 the pcie bottleneck should be negligible compared to your CPU or other things.

    On pcie 3 the 4090 gets about a 5% performance penalty. I’d assume the 5080 is about the same performance as the 4090 so the hit should be similar. Unless you’re like me with a 5800x3d on a garbage B450 motherboard your CPU is probably going to be holding you back so much more than the pcie version.

    Used graphics card prices aren’t that much better than new.

    The 4090 still has a VRAM advantage over the 5080 so it’s probably going to continue to hold it’s value pretty well. Especially since there’s a massive voice in pricing between the $1k 5080 and the $2k 5090.

    Unless the 24gb ARC GPU comes out (or AI crashes) I see the 4090 just not depreciating a substantial amount. And that’s the only option that would compare to the 5080 since AMD isn’t even trying to make high end.

    Motherboards aren’t cheap, nor is the top of the line CPUs. The 7950x3D is still $600 on amazon. X670e boards start at like $200 and go up over $500 easily. If you just say fuck it and buy the best you can easily hit that number, especially if you throw in some high end storage drives.

    I’m looking to replace my CPU, mobo and ram and I’m looking at at least $1200 for that.
