New CPU for Christmas.. which one?

[Gogojuice]

Merry Christmas all

 

I have an amd 2700x.

2080ti

32 gb ram

nvme drives for game

my mb is a crosshair vii which is a 470 board. 

I was thinking about a new CPU

1.  Amd 5600x

2.  Amd 5800x

 

So.. my questions are:

1  Will I see a difference in DCS.. I play in VR on a Rift S

2. Is it worth it to upgrade

3.  Which CPU.. 5600 or 5800

I do a bit of photoshop but I haven't really found the 2700x that bad.

 

Appreciate the comments.

Cheers

The main bottleneck is and will be your GPU, there is some to gain plus smoothen out the experience since you jump two generations forward, your IPC & Clock will greatly advance.

Since it is a drop-it-in replacement with your board it might not be a bad idea in general. I would rather think 5600X or 5900X.

I have the 5600x in a X570 motherboard. No problems or bottlenecks in DCS, I have a 6800xt now but I had a 2080ti until June 2021. Ran just fine for me. 

If your in the UK I think Scan have a Xmas sale on both.
