Here’s an article close to my heart. I’ve been wondering about this specific issue for a while, because I’m on a B550 motherboard, which just about supports the 5800X3D. (current proc is a 5600X)

I bought a used 3080 a while ago and have high hopes for better 99th percentile performance.

I don’t know whether my DDR4 RAM will hold me back, but at the same time, there’s no chance I could afford a DDR5 based platform with a 7800X3D. New ram, processor and mobo is just out of the question with current hardware prices, so I’m hoping to be able to put together a ‘last-gen-fast’ system.
