individuals use that time period but it surely’s not 100% correct, the “bound” half is each upstream and downstream and you actually can’t do a lot to the upstream points. I principally play WoW Classic maxed @ 1440p 144FPS and even I get upstream points on extremely populated servers. That stated, a CPU with excessive IPC and scale back latency (be it sooner RAM and/or bigger cache for scale back misses & keep away from cache being overwhelmed) is useful for WoW. Most fashionable desktop CPUs supply loads of multi-core efficiency for WoW in order that’s not likely a problem there. It’s why the Intel 14600k w/ DDR5 ram is quicker in WoW than a 12900k w/DDR4 (even DDR5) or the AMD 5600X3D (extra on that beneath) with its giant cache outperforms the AMD 5900x in WoW.
sure, it’s nonetheless a stable & succesful performing CPU and can crew up nicely with the RX6600
So I can’t make price range choices for you however I can let you know the professionals and cons. WoW can undoubtedly make the most of the X3D cache within the 5700X3D and utilizing a flagship GPU, you may get an actual world distinction between the 5700X3d (assuming the mobo does help it) and R5 5600 particularly in extremely populated areas resembling BGs, Raids, main hub cities. The X3D CPU provides you with steadier FPS all through the sport.
That stated utilizing the RX 5800 as your GPU, you’ll severely restrict the efficiency of that CPU making it moot in comparison with the ryzen 5600. Even with the RX 600, the distinction could be far much less noticeable between CPUs. If you have been going to one thing like RX 7700 XT / 9600 XT by way of GPU efficiency, the 5700X3D begins to indicate the additional CPU gaming efficiency it provides.
So my recommendation is to, improve each CPU & GPU. If getting the 5700X3D prevents you or delays your GPU improve, that’s not a street it is best to go down. If the RX 6600 is a cease hole for a 12 months with one other soar in GPU efficiency (like above), than one could make the case for the 5700X3D buy.
Hope that helps and apologies for the wall of textual content.
