I have an AMD 7800 X3D playing highly modded Fallout, am eyeing the 9800 X3D. Thoughts?

a) I have an AMD 7800 X3D playing highly modded Fallout (300+ plug-ins enabled, including 4k texture mods for most in-game items, most settings on "Ultra"), am eyeing the 9800 X3D.

Just got that 7800X3D six months ago though.

The 9800 X3D has debuted to rave reviews.

Otherwise I was going to wait until the  9950X3D comes out in Spring.

My PC shop is convinced the 9950 X3D will be just as good for gaming, perhaps even slightly better , than the 9800 X3d but much better for multithreading . I understand Fallout 4 is a single or dual core game, but a minority of my mods use multithreading, (especially the Mod Control Menu is slow to turn on with my AMD chip and I go in and out of there relativily often)

The 9950 X3D is expected to be noticably more expensive than the 9800 X3D. I am a well paid Professional and not overly price sensitive, but also dont want to throw money out the window willy-nilly on  afools errand, while I am trying to build savings toward retirement, which is coming up, in a very few short years.

b) Currently running the RTX 4080 Super (also a fairly new addtion). Great game experience even with all my 4K texture files installed in the gaming files overwriting the stock textures. No complaints. But still I have to wonder about the RTX 5080 coming.

Its said to be slightly better than a 4090,  Would it be complete over-the-top money waste, to get a RTX 5080 if my sole game now and in the near future is Fallout 4, albeit a highly modded one? 

c) I dont care all that much about FPS, which is locked at 60 anyway for most Fallout 4 configurations, and FO4 while having First Person Shooter moments, isnt really a firstperson shooter.  Instead I aim for a complete absence of stutter when in the presences of large and complex environments, combined with 4k graphics to bring out beautiful landscaoe/City. EDIT: Sadly I found no CPU/GPU reviewers who test this CRPG, application Fallout 4, with triple digit mod load, played at 4k with (nearly) all textures replaced by 4k texture mods.

Thoughts?

 

PS: The rest of my specs:

64GB of DDR5 RAM, 

Samsung 990 PRO SSDs

 

EDITED for clarity

One article from Guru3D ( https://www.guru3d.com/story/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-cpu-tested-leak-indicates-faster-than-7950x3d/ ).  I hope that it has some information that is useful.  This site is generally 'geeky' enough to make sure that stuff is accurate.

Can't help w/the vidcard info, though.  You might try asking about it in the Guru3d forums, though.
