Was looking for a bit more jump in FPS and better 1% lows (this checked out). But after going through the games I play (an assortment of single player and multi-player games), I just concluded the "upgrade" wasn't big enough to justify plunging $200+ bucks. I only game on my desktop, so the additional cores were nice but not needed.
It's also good to test if you have the time and energy but I don't think it was going to give you a good boost at 4K.
Making a statement of how much you can improve from a cpu based on resolution makes far less sense than a gpu. GPU load matters far more than your resolution. You can benefit a ton from 4K on valorant vs 4K on COD. Making a resolution distinction for GPU made sense in the case of the 4060 base and Ti because of a specific bottleneck within that GPU that made it perform worse than the 3060, even though the 4060 is by all accounts, faster than the 3060.
I ended up returning the 5700x3d.
This one has five heatpipes: Thermalright Assassin King 12 SE $16.99 [amazon.com] or one with ARGB fan for $0.60 more.

Also, looking for a reason to try out something from Thermalright just to see if the hype is true (too many great user impressions to ignore, especially for the price).
