Upgrade advice please - GPU/CPU

[nguyen]

Given that tomorrow is Black Friday, maybe OP should build a new PC from scratch with X670 + 7800X3D and 4080 then sell the old PC

Just a quick update without opening the debate again. The 5800X3D has given me a massive 50FPS improvement on ACC. Thank you to everybody who shared their opinion/views/suggestions.

Have a good weekend

I've never experienced them so thought they couldn't be that bad

On the flipside just had a nightmare setting a 3060 Ti system up for a client because the video card didn't like their monitor. Worked perfectly fine with a radeon card.

I think in general basing your opinion on one off subjective experiences is silly. No, Nvidia and AMD both have pretty stable drivers and I say that through the thousands of systems I've built over the years. It's mostly when you want all the bells and whistles that Nvidia wins out. You say you aren't trying scaremonger but that's 100% what you are doing.

I'd say upgrade your platform and get a 7800X3D. Your GPU is already pretty good and there's a lot of performance to be had from getting the 7800X3D over the 5800X3D. You'll need to upgrade your entire platform to do so but that also means you'll be able to reap the benefits of that when you next decide to upgrade.

Off topic but I had the same issue with my 308012Gb 4 months of crashes, screen not turning on and videocard not seeing any screen at all, RMAed the card but had the same issues, I sold it and bought a reference 7900XTX and didn't have a single crash in 6 months, so I too agree that the driver issues are highly subjective and I say as someone who was Nvidia only since the 700 series
