Need a little help understanding what CPU I should run with a RTX 3090

[matthieumg]

System:

Ryzen 7 5800x

Palit GeForce RTX 3090

64GB DDR4 3600MHz

I am currently running a Ryzen 7 5800x. Before anyone says that's bottlenecking, yes, I know. (That's why I'm here.)

I need to know what CPU I should run with my 3090 to get the best performance while still being able to play games with high graphics.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I would go with a Ryzen 9800X3D or 9950X.
But i dont think the 5800 does limit the 3090 that much. I would spare my money for whole new workstation in a year or two.

okay so save the money to upgrade to the AM5.

Thank you.
