I have a 3900x and I don't plan on upgrading until I physically need to.

[Lightning]

I was super lucky and was able to sell my 3700X for a decent price and upgraded to a 5900X back in January.

[Blackup]

I went from 3900x to 5950 x 1440p zero regrets.

Now my 3900 x will live on as a virtual machine host

[JbHomestead]

I went from a Ryzen 1800 to a 5950x and from a GTX 1080 to a RTX 3080 TI. Feels good.

[williammoore]

still rocking the 3900x and its still perfect. No need to upgade. I run 1440p games, AI, stable diff, everything I could think of runs perfect. we have hit a peak and no youtuber can tell you other wise.

[azmc]

Maybe I will make this upgrade if I can find a good deal on the 5950X during Black Friday this year or next year. Would be good if I could keep the X570 mobo I while longer.

[ivo]

Ryzen 9 5900X is easy to get in Europe nowdays

[Mr]

Great video thank you wish I found you sooner

[alexsiniov]

5950xt is coming according to rumors with 3D stacked cache and 15-20% more performance, I would wait for Zen 3 refresh and check if I can get one to upgrade from 3900x to get 2x performance basically

[ceed]

I was considering doing this a few months ago, but I was going to put the 3900x in another motherboard that I had and put the 5950x in my main rig. Unfortunately I could never get a good enough deal on the 5950x,

[samic]

I had an option going from 3600 to 5900X or 5950X, both at MSRP. I went with 5900X and I have no regret.

[tommyrotton]

at this point it would be worth waiting until you see the next gen of AMD chips for the big leap in speed.

[KleoYan]

Honestly if just for gaming. No point. I feel is much more worth upgrading it if you use your pc for gaming and for work. With the usage of gen 4 m.2 SSDs on x570 board. Else just for gaming leave it as it is. Save that money do other investment and generate more cash for next upgrade zen 4 maybe.

[PeterPauls]

I have a 3900x, but in a MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX with 32GB 3600 mhz CL18 memory. The motherboard is great, but I think the Ryzen 9 3900x the maximum that it can handle in my Meshify 2 case. I was able to buy an RTX 3070 close to MSRP (this is where my money went), I will not bother for awhile to upgrade my system. It is fast, runs games well, for work it's amazing and my monitor is only 60 hz, so I'm not a competitive gamer, just a regular one, I'm good.

[umeng]

50% improvement is the metric. You need AT LEAST a 50% improvement in some metric for it to be "worth it." New GPU? At least a 50% improvement in performance, whether that's FPS or pixels pushed at the same FPS. New CPU? At least a 50% IPC (or perf per second) AND/ OR all core performance improvement.

[xlinnaeus]

Hey Tech and Rogue! I noticed that at 3:50 rogue suggests that one might need more than 32 gigs of ram with a 6900xt. I have a 2080 ti with 16 gigs of ram. Should I upgrade?

[jamalnasher]

Should i wait for am5 or should i go zen3 as im thinking about upgrading from my 5th gen intel pc.

[AHoffTheRizzler]

Bought my 3900x with a newegg discount for $375 around Black Friday, no regerts

[choppergirl]

I'm sitting on an FX-8350 with 32gb and waiting.
The value just isn't there yet with any Ryzen...
because I'd have to replace my entire system.
I bought my FX-8350, mobo, and 32gb from someone who upgraded for less than $150.

[lk]

I think the only people who should be buying the 5950x are those who will use it for actual work. I know a few that work in the field and they all say their time is more valuable than whatever the 5950x or TR costs, and I get that. On the other hand, if that guy is johnny gamerboy whose max use will be maybe streaming to twitch...There's no need to spend any money on an upgrade.
