I went from a 10850K to a 5800X3D. I experienced a substantial performance boost in previously CPU bound scenarios (eg. Inibuilds A310) to the tune of 50%+ and that was at 4K when I had my 3080. Also overall smoothness improved significantly. I needed a new motherboard but was able to use my existing RAM and CPU cooler and it was still well worth it.

Edit: I should add, this upgrade experience is entirely with MSFS.

Not at this point in time when AMD is so close to releasing new CPU's for the AM5 platform. Either wait for AM5 X3D for a new build or take advantage of the sales of the redundant AM4 platform once they are released

I think I’ll be selling my i9 9900k and mobo and getting the 5800x3d with new mobo.

As for now it’s the cheapest way to go instead of purchasing new ram and gpu also.
