This depends really on what you consider noticeable. There can be over a 30fps diff depending on setup and ram. Alot of variables to consider but there is a stark difference between when ddr5 came out vs where it is now. Even among ddr5 vs ddr5 you can find fps vids to show differences between them. It may not make a huge difference depending on what resolution your rendering tho.






and i use ddr5 9000 till the 10k sticks come out, but can you use a 9800x3d on ddr4 at the moment? idr its been a while since i touched ddr4

What I meant to say if the only reason to upgrade was to go from ddr4 to DDR5 then it's not worth it. If you're doing a new build there is no reason to use am4 or ddr4

My guess is the processor supports ddr4 but no reason to do that

Trying to cheap out on a GPU by $30 will never make sense to me. If your budget is that tight, you probably aren't ready to upgrade. Especially if you're resorting to shady sellers and "open box" items.

I think AM4 can still make sense if you get the 5700X3D or 5800X3D, the price/performance is hard to beat. Built a system with it earlier this year and the cpu, mainboard and ram cost less than just the cpu for an AM5 X3D build.

Difference isn't huge and is largest at 1080 with lower graphics settings, if you go 1440 or higher they lessen or disappear completely since you almost always become GPU bound at that point. If you can fit a higher tier of GPU into your budget by going AM4, you may end up with better overall performance.
