best pair for rx 6800?
guys, i just upgraded my rig from 2060s to 6800. and ive noticed some bottlenecking problem ( i think) the thing is i know 6800 is good at 1440p but i only wanted to play all games on 1080p cause i dont want spend any money on more monitor, im currently using 5600x at this point. any suggestion what cpu i should buy for 6800 to play games at 1080p (am4 cpu), give me everything for example like the best price to performance

Your current CPU is really good for RX 6800, I would suggest 5700X3D or 5800X3D only if you aren't happy with the performance.
the thing is i play at 1080p, im scared itll be too much on the cpu

I mean the 5700x3D is discontinued and almost back up to M.S.R.P. and that's really the only upgrade I can see being a significant jump from what you have got on AM4.

Maybe buy a chonkier cooler and overclock the 5600x instead.

Nah. 5800x3d and 5600x3d was discontinued last year in october. They still make 5700x3d but prices went up for all hardware.

I mean I've read otherwise[computercity.com] and it make sense. The 5700x3Ds were supposedly derived from 5800x3D stock, so without the 5800x3D there isn't really much reason to produce a 5700x3D. Why would they discontinue one but not the other? If they want to focus on producing more Zen 5 chips, it's better to axe both, and if they want to continue producing the AM4 x3D chips, why not just produce both and bump down the price of the 5800x3D if it is not selling?

It might still be in stock, but that doesn't mean it's still being made. Could just be residual stock. That usually seems to last for a few years. Usually prices on residual stock sucks, and that's why it sits.

Also if Ivan was in the U.S.A. I'd consider a 5800XT[www.amazon.com] at this point. It's cheaper than it used to be and $150 is a good price for the chip. Not sure if it's a big enough perf. bump from a 5600x for the cost. We are possibly saying that a 6800XT doesn't need a large bump up though.

I'm not sure what Korean pricing is like though, so I can't make recommendations anyway. A 5800XT isn't much better than a 5800X, and a 5700X isn't much worse than a 5800X.

so..... what cpu should i get?

Your CPU (Ryzen 5600X) is good enough. If you want to check, max settings in game the way you like (without limiting FPS), play the game and check GPU usage. If it is close to 100%, your system is fine.
If you really want a bit more in games, buy Ryzen 5700X3D.
That is just a short summary of what others wrote :-)
okayy ill buy those then
thank u guys for all of the advices

Normally 5600x fine for 6800. However there some anormalies should seek to. Either low ram capasity or older driver residues in compatibility. Expert answer. Format and Clean install check your system again.

More or less every system is going to have a bottleneck somewhere. The thing you want to do is minimize it in the most cost-effective way.

Therefore, nobody can tell you without knowing the prices of processors in your region, and P.C. part picker only covers prices in North America and Europe, and even then, not all of the nations therein.

You'd have to tell us the prices of AM4 socket processors in your region.

But a 5700x3D is a good upper mid-range processor if you're not overpaying for it relative to your other options. You m

ill just going to buy 5700x3d, cause i saw 5800x3d in my market place is about 130$ more then the 5700x3d.
