I am guessing that you have played both? While there are many within the hallowed halls of Subsim that can provide a more technically accurate collation, I will give you my 2 coppers. I have in the past few weeks wondered the same thing myself.

To me SH 3 w/ GWX sits on the shelf as the pinnacle of the SH games. I had no problems playing it and it runs fine on WIN 10. However from visual stand point it does not hold up well (for me) at my current favored resolution of 1440P.

I bought SH5 on release and quickly shelved it for the issues it had. I continued to play SH3 happily.

I recently came back to SH5 for the TWoS megamod. I also run Dragons addon. I can easily recommend TWoS for what my opinion is worth. I run it at what I consider high resolution with a slightly better than mainstream grade PC on WIN 10.

There is a metric ton of solid info in these forums to get modded SH5 running without CTD or other fiddleyness.

So for me SH5's visual improvements coupled with superb modding make it my choice.
