Today's mission is to work out how suitable the Ryzen 5600 is to use with a modern high-end GPU, such as the RTX 4080. Will the upgrade to a more powerful GPU require an entire platform upgrade?

I don't play Fortnite, but the difference is probably due to the DX11 API(?)I don't know why, but I feel like the Fortnite results are a tad lower than expected at 1080p medium settings for such a CPU. Not saying they're wrong, just weird (I've seen similar results in other sources).
Oh, that's great. I'm one of those others you are sorry for. I can't seem to find the 'second' article with the 5800x3d and the RTX 4800 and the Avatar scores. And I'm also unable to locate the 5800x3d article with the exact settings and game mix avg as in this one. Clearly it has to exist. Would you be so kind and link 'the second article' for internet dorks like us? Many thanksI am able to pull up a second article and extrapolate. (Sorry others cannot)
Great review, although if there was an equivalent CPU it would be even more interesting... or with the addition of a class 70 series GPU...
and it's common for 4080 owners to choose a better CPU than the Ryzen 5600, since in many games, the 5600 cannot display the full performance of the 4080..
Yeah I was really surprised he didn’t include the 2600K as well.Shocked Steve didn't include the FX 8350 to see if it was fast enough for the RTX4080
I don't know, speak for yourself, I have a 4K monitor, I've been running 4K since 2016, it was always nice to know that my CPU was going to be viable when paired with newer and newer GPUs. This allowed me to keep my 5960x for a really long time, before that my 920/960/x5650, and upgrading was more of a want, than a need to a certain extent, hoping my 11900kf can last another 5-7 years too.Still hurts my brain when people ask for 4K benchmarks in a CPU review...
The only thing I'd add here is that 1080p is DLSS Performance internal res at 4k, and close to it (960p) is quality mode at 1440p, so if your CPU is holding back lower res performance, the symptom might be minimal performance gains when using upscaling.I get why we test at 1080p but in the real world no one is buying a 4080 to play at that res and honestly I don't even look at 1080p results anymore.
