i have a 5800x3d with  3080 12GB and toying with the idea of an upgrade to the the new releases , could my GPU hold me back with the upgrade , 4k high settings ?

I think if you set your render scale to 200% you can get a reasonable facsimile of a 4K environment. Try it! See if your system can cope.

I just went to the 7950x3d and I currently have it paired with a 3080 at 4k. 
 

I get on average mid 40s FPS with all the high end airplanes (fenix and pmdg) at most airports like ini egll. However, the little clocks that come with the dev mode fps counter say that I’m usually GPU limited now and the timers say the gpu is twice as slow as the CPU. For example, CPU is in the single digits to low teens while the GPU is in the high teens.

Having clouds at ULTRA really take away performance. 
 

Take all of I said for what it is….just one person’s extremely quick and non scientific response.

I m wondering also 

I want to upgrade from 9900k to amd 7950x3d

will my 3080ti suprim x hold up

thanks

Of course. You might be GPU limited, but it's not going to cause you much bottle neck. It's still an incredible GPU.

I run  3080 10gb w the 7900x3d.  I prefer to run 4K 30FPS locked with ultra settings and TLOD 200. GPU limited but smooth as silk, never any stutters.  I can run unlocked 60fps dropping to 50 in some areas but not as smooth.

Any other comments you can share about the 7900x3d? I'm waiting for the7950x3d but there's no timeline in my location for its arrival.

For a gpu I have the 20 gig 7900xt and am very pleased with it - currently using a 9900k cpu. Works well. I can only imagine what the 79xxX3d cpu will be like in combo.

In the EU not available so went for the 7900x3d. perf is within 2-3% from what ive seen, not worth the extra 125 +euros. I bought a quality ddr5 6000 cl30 kit w that savings.  Its a blazing fast chip. It handles everything I threw at it as I mentioned earlier.  Im GPU limited now which is what the plan was.  I am not going to upgrade GPU this cycle, will wait for the 5000 series whenever it hits. I feel I get an amazing experience now and its just not worth the extra 1500 investment at this time to get 100FPS. My holy grail was smooth stutter free on high/ultra settings which I now have. cheers
