5600X vs 5800X3D in MSFS - Was Upgrading Worth It?

In this video, we compare the AMD 5600X to the 5800X3D in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

It’s finally happened, I made the decision to upgrade my 5600X to the 5800X3D…but was it worth it? Going into this my dilemma was, do I take the more affordable route and get a 5800X3D, or go all out and get the 7800X3D.

My gut feeling was that the 5800X3D would hopefully get us most of the way there while being able to save on having to re-buy a whole new AM5 platform to accommodate the 7800X3D.

All tests were conducted at 1080p with a Terrain LOD of 150. No DLSS was used, and I used TAA for anti-aliasing. All other settings were at my preferred graphics settings (basically, ultra with some small tweaks). These can be found here:    • My Favourite MSFS Graphics Settings #...
