If you're 90% gaming and nothing else really, go with the 5800x3d. Otherwise it's easier to claim the 5900x is marginally more future-proofed with all the cores. For what it's worth, I went from a 3900x to a 5900x, and while you wouldn't expect much (if any) difference during gaming, the experience was much smoother for me. It eliminated a lot of the "low FPS" drops and that, at least anecdotally, made things much more smooth. I think the 5900x is hard to beat if you want to upgrade your AM4.

I plan to do some video editing in 4K and photoshop work. Is it worth it to upgrade? The only upgrade I did was drop another 32gb ram to make it 64gb presently and really notice no difference. Thanks in advance for your reply.

A greater quantity of RAM only matters if you were routinely running out of it. More does not really equal faster. A fast hard drive will make a machine feel faster more than a faster CPU these days, unless we are talking about specific use cases. There are fine articles on the internet explaining perceived speed and what affects it.

I was going to get the 5800x3d but ended up with a great used/new deal on a 3900x for 300 bucks. Guy bought a 5900x to upgrade from a 3900x and never used it. Still sealed in the box never opened. I got a good deal on a used reference AMD 6800 for 400 with box and all. The used market is hot right now haha.

Wait, you bought a 3900X for $300 instead of $340 for 5900X?

Excellent processor. Handles any game I throw at it. 42000+ Passmark score in my system (with 3200mhz (slow) ram) Depending on your desire for this game though this deal may not be the greatest. I bought this for $332 on prime day (in july)

That was a price mistake. Did any of them actually ship? The 6900XT is around $600 right now if you can find it

The 5900X is not an upgrade from the 5800x3d unless you do a lot of heavily threaded work.
You don't even have to do a lot of heavily threaded work. You just need to do any heavily threaded work for the 5900X to be better in that application. It really just depends what you care more about. The 5900X will crush any game you throw at it in 1440p and likely 4k (with a good GPU) but will perform significantly better in multi-threaded applications which is why I bought it over the 5800X 3D (it was also 100 bucks cheaper at the time). the 5800X3D is hands down a better gaming processor but I'm still not sure its worth since I know the 5900X can handle every AAA game I've thrown at it without breaking a sweat (at 1440p ultrawide).

I'll add to this: the $150 5600x is the best frames per $$$ you can buy. 5800x3d is maybe 10% better for 100% higher cost (though that "low FPS" reduction is important to some people). The 5800x3d is definitely the best AM4 socket gaming cpu, but for people who want bang for their buck, 5600x is unbeatable.

I'm torn about whether I want upgrade my ryzen 3600 am4 x570 board or save up and get an Intel based system for future proofing for at least 3 years.

My use case is productivity, gaming, and general use.

What do you all think?
Really depends on your specific usage. If your game play or video editing is CPU limited then definitely yes. I'm gaming at 4K and get 60 FPS with an ancient 3600 and a RTX 3080. I keep feeling the itch to upgrade the CPU but for what? My monitor is capped at 60 FPS and I doubt I would notice opening up Office or Chrome any faster. Maybe if I could max out the AM4 socket for $200 it might be worth it but otherwise I can't see the point.

Unless have AM4 motherboard already this is not worth $340 the i5 13600KF $280 [ebay.com] is better deal if have buy motherboard.

for similar price you can get i7 13700KF $370 with a lot more performance.

A 5800X3D will easily last you 3+ years. If you were starting a fresh build, Intel would probably be the way to go but I don't think there's really any compelling reason to do it if you've already got an AM4 board.

this or the 5800x3d?
I had a regular (non 3D) 5800x and it ran around 80-90c at idle
My 5900x is running around 40c after 30 minutes of gaming
I was playing BL3 when I installed the 5900x (from a 2600) with same gpu and I had new details all over the place
There was also the smoothness people have mentioned
Both chips good for gaming but my fans dont even go on with the 5900
I don't need a hot chip in summer as I sit next to pc on a desk

More RAM does help in any video editor. I use Adobe Premiere Pro with my 5900X system and 96GB of RAM. I also use the Nvidia 3080 with 10GB. You'll notice how smoother and faster everything works with more RAM.

I started with a 32GB system and later moved to a 64GB system but now I'm at 96 GB as I'm doing a ton of 4K video at high bitrates as well as dabbling in 8K video. I don't know what camera you're using as 4K can vary widely (e.g., 4K on a smartphone is a world below 4K on a regular camera).

So one of my favorite plugins is Neat Video which is for denoising video. With longer content video, you can run out of RAM even with 96 GB. The other week, I had a final edit of 1 hour and 17 minutes for a video and it would crash at about the 33% mark with GPU only rendering and about 80% mark with CPU+GPU rendering. I also did a 43 minute project and that would also crash. Both times, I got an error message that I ran out of RAM. So I ended up using my Magic Bullets Denoiser plugin for denoising video.

So basically for shorter content, I use Neat Video with Adobe and for longer content, I use Magic Bullet Denoiser III.

I don't know if you use plugins with your video editor or not or how you use your video editor but RAM always makes a difference. But YMMV based on how complex your work is.

I am using both the Sony A7R 4 camera plus go pro 11 black. I am not using any plugins right now but I will soon. Should I upgrade my ram to 128gb? Also does the ram speed matter in video editing? I can get cheaper 3200mhz ram vs getting 3600mhz ram. I see the Cosair Vengence pro 64gb 2x32gb 3600 mhz can be had for $170 or go with Team group 2x32 gb 3200mhz for $150. Is it worth $20 more for the extra 400mhz ram speed? Thanks for any advice.
