The gains at 4k...

For the rest of you upgrading tomorrow, what are you upgrading from?
I'm on a 10700K at the moment
 
I am going to wait and see how bad are the prices from Nvidia on 5000 series and then decide.

7800x3D is more than sufficient for me with my current GPU at higher resolutions.
 
"The gains at 4k... It's fucking nothing"
And they are. At least for average fps.

So you still don't undertand.
You will not see gains in 4k resolutions becasue GPU is the limiting factor here, and CPU cannot magiacally make GPU faster.

So you don't understand that I said "exactly" that too. -_-'

Gonna try and get one of these tomorrow morning. Motherboard recommendations are welcome. (Eyeing an ASRock Phantom Gaming X870E Nova.)
 
Fuck it I'm in if the 9950x3d is better then I will sell my 9800x3d lets go
the 9800X3D seems like a good upgrade for gaming but i'm waiting for the 9950X3D. hopefully the gaming performance is just as good but also with the multi-core improvements too.

going from a 16c/32t cpu to 8c/16t cpu feels like a downgrade even if it has better gaming performance. i'm sticking with 16c/32t until we get a 32c/64t cpu :messenger_savoring:
 
Not really.

Well, okay then. Because it sounds like you're disappointed, which only really happens if you expected it to be better. But we won't know that until we get our hands on a 5080 or 5090 next year.

If your comment was merely an observational comment, then fair enough.
 
You think the sun is imortal?
Yeah I know it will die in few billion years, which makes it's chance of setting nearly 100%. This CPU wasn't nothing revolutionary and fitting whih standard current architecture, which makes chance of changing the rules nearly 0%. But that's my last post regarding this.

anywhere to order it from ? wasat Canada computer yesterday. i know the guys there. its not in stock inventory as of yesterday. unless they get a skid today, they are going to miss release date
 
If that was true the framerate numbers would be identical and they are not.
The GPU bound is the upper limit. Below that limit you will still see scaling. But TechPowerup has the 9800X3D a whole 0.3% faster at 4K than the 7800X3D, which illustrates just how much room there is for a faster CPU.
