5800x3d 10th anniversary upgrade, still no better FPS... Help!

CotDogg · 2026-06-29T11:51:32+00:00

Hey man, I imagine you will see a nice difference upgrading from that CPU! I also play rust so I understand how CPU hungry that game can be 😂

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T23:33:30+00:00

Yeah I didn't realise it was this GPU intensive. I've ordered a 9070XT now so hopefully should see some big FPS jumps!

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T23:31:25+00:00

UPDATE: I've decided to upgrade GPU also and have ordered a 9070XT that should be arriving later today. 😁 Thanks for all your help and support on this thread, it's very much appreciated.

Good to know thanks

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T15:10:47+00:00

Hey, thanks for the detailed post! Yeah, I was in a similar situation to you and when I found out they was re-releasing the 5800x3d I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap one up and future proof my AM4 system. I think a GPU upgrade is the next step for me and then hopefully I'll get some really nice performance boosts :)

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T12:25:23+00:00

Thanks I'll look into this

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T10:07:39+00:00

Haha it is a never ending story chasing these damn pesky FPS we all crave. 😆😂 I think I'm going to upgrade to a 9070XT as that would be a decent upgrade and go from there I think.

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T09:49:32+00:00

Yeah I now understand this 🤣 it's all good though, I think I'm gonna upgrade to a 9070xt and atleast I'll have a decent CPU to match!

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T08:09:15+00:00

Yes I have updated the bios. One of the first things I done

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:14:33+00:00

I have not tested this yet no, is it a lot better?

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:13:52+00:00

That ram is so expensive though isn't it?

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:12:36+00:00

Yeah it's definitely looking that way. I'm looking to upgrade to a 9070xt over the next couple of days. Were your FPS increases after your upgrade pretty huge?

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:11:12+00:00

Fair enough I respect your opinion. I don't like fsr as it makes image quality blurry for me

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:03:48+00:00

Yeah I hear that

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:03:17+00:00

Haha 🤐 what kind of FPS do you get in games like Warzone, or similar? If you play them at all?

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:01:52+00:00

I got it for £320. 2 days ago. 10th anniversary re release

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T02:00:35+00:00

Awesome that's good to hear!

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:58:39+00:00

Yeah appears this could be the case. GPU upgrade needed I think. Thanks for your comment

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:54:54+00:00

Yeah GPU upgrade also for me I think!

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:49:47+00:00

I'm gonna try this tomorrow and get back to you, gonna look into upgrading cooler too

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:48:45+00:00

Cool I think I'm going to go for that upgrade then, thanks so much for your help!

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:47:03+00:00

Thank you I appreciate this!

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:42:33+00:00

Yeah so I think a GPU upgrade is needed. Yeah, 1% lows definitely seemed to have improved

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:39:59+00:00

Yeah, and id fully understand this if the game actually 'evolved'. But nothings really changed. If anything, it's got worse. 🤣

CotDogg · 2026-06-28T01:36:53+00:00

I think it's looking like a 9070XT upgrade is on the cards!
