I love my AM4 5800X3D system. Paired with a 6900 XT (nice card) and 64 gigs of ram there is nothing it can’t run for me. I have played with newer gen stuff and its all worse (ether bad linux support, stability, or the hardware cooks itself).
I honestly wonder if this shift away from consumer facing products has something to do with the plateauing of hardware as much as chasing a quick buck. I would think that if AMD just restarted 5800X3D production people would be happy.
Ha, my system is exactly identical! I really have no reason to upgrade, besides maybe 5950X/5900XT for more cores for compiling software (I run Gentoo on it). Can’t justify that though because it’s more of a sidegrade, and they’re all out of stock now that AM4 is back in style.
My 6900XT is a slightly-cheaper-than-6950XT frankenstein with the 6950XT full chip but 6900XT clocked VRAM. It’s so efficient. The fans don’t even spin for some games. There’s nothing it can’t play at max settings, but I’m also rendering at 1600x1200 (or less for specific older titles) on a CRT.
