Community Reviews
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D stands out as a top gaming CPU, especially for competitive play where its strong 1 percent and 5 percent lows keep frame rates smoother. It is also described as delivering meaningful gains in modern games, even at higher resolutions, and as the current Ryzen gaming leader until Nova Lake arrives. The main caveat is value, since the uplift can look small versus much cheaper Ryzen 5 or Intel 5 chips, and the biggest gains are less visible when the game becomes GPU limited. A strong pick for high end gaming builds that can use the extra headroom.
Common Questions (5)
It can still deliver a 10-20% uplift in many modern games at 4K, but the advantage shrinks as the system becomes more GPU-limited. The biggest benefit shows up in competitive or CPU-heavy games, while high-resolution play often narrows the gap versus cheaper CPUs.
Its main value is stronger 1% and 5% lows, which reduces dips and improves smoothness more than average FPS alone. That makes it especially useful for CS2 and other competitive games where frame-time consistency matters.
For many gamers, the extra performance may not justify paying more than double the price of a capable Ryzen 5 or Intel 5 CPU. It makes more sense if you specifically want top-end gaming performance or are building around very high-end parts.
Yes, the CPU can be the bottleneck in a 7800X3D + 5090 + 64GB RAM setup, so upgrading can make sense. The performance gain may not clearly justify the $450+ cost for most people, but it fits a no-compromise build.
Yes, a Micro Center bundle can cut the total cost substantially; one example was a 9800X3D, Asus B650 TUF motherboard, and 32GB DDR5 for $679. That can be a better value than buying the CPU alone if you need the board and memory too.

While the person you're replying to is being hyperbolic (and likely trolling), it is true that as the scenario becomes more GPU limited, that the difference in performance between say a 9800x3d and 9700x would be felt less.
In the end, as with anything PC performance related, it just depends on how the specific gamer profiles on whether they are going to benefit from all that extra performance that absolutely is there for the product at the top of Ryzen's stack.
I currently have a 7800X3D, a 5090, 64GB ram, nvme ssd, etc.; wondering if it's worthwhile to upgrade to whatever the current top CPUs are or if I should just wait a bit.
What's the consensus top one or two CPUs (if not this) where the primary intended use is for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (MSFS2024)...in VR? In as close to max settings in VR as possible?

Will you see a significant increase in performance that clearly justifies the $450+ cost? Probably not for most people. But for someone who already bought a 5090 and 64 GB of RAM, you clearly aimed for a top-of-the-line system, so you might as well upgrade the CPU as well.

hilarious that he made a video reading off of graphs. that's just sad.
not from what i'm seeing. more like 0% uplift at 4k.

Assuming the CPU is the bottleneck and not that memory, is the 9850X3d an appreciable difference vs the 9800X3d? Though I suppose you're right; even if not much difference, if I'm aiming for top of the line system, I'll probably just get the 9850X3d anyway. Or wait until the next gen, whenever that might be. Idk.
Here's my exact RAM.
