Can't find an MSI model with that exact name but there's this Asrock one? :

If it's that then with a bios update you'll have some very good CPU upgrade path options but you will need to check what the VRMs on your motherboard are capable of.
I'd start with a CPU and RAM upgrade, run some benchmarks to make sure your motherboard is up to the task and if it is then look at the GPU (and likely the power supply as well).

But the PS5 version runs like shit, so....Next gen. Time to upgrade ya shit or.........get a PS5.

Best take in this thread when it comes to the number of cores discussion. IPC is king and total cpu performance matter way more than # of cores for gaming since most of them will run the same when having 6 cores (often even 4) enabled as when having 8+ and some even run a tiny bit worse with hpet/smt enabled than without it.

I'm seeing it at full price? Also how are they selling it in the first place, I thought it was only supposed to be available on the actual launchers, like steam?

Has anyone retried the demo (PS5) since the patch today? I could be imagining things, but it appears to play better, even with RT mode selected. I actually completed the whole demo, along with the additional extra boss fight.
The HDR has certainly been improved and I didn’t notice that difficulty in seeing the enemies against some backgrounds. Bodes well for the full release.

I got a 13600k.I was only in the GPU threads unfortunately.
If you're going for the 13600K then you needn't worry too much due to the architectural changes.
However if you're going for one of the older AMD 6 core chips then I'm sureBlack_Stride will pay for your upgrade when your games start stuttering
I guess that if i don't care about going over 60 frames at 4k i should be fine.

CPU + RAM (do these together, you want to buy RAM that pairs well with whatever CPU you get dependant on your performance goals), then GPU.
No point in upgrading your GPU first when it will be severely bottlenecked by your CPU.

I'm sure GHG would be okay to provide upgrade money for people who gets bottlenecked at 40FPS (see GKnights, A Plague Tale Requiem, Witcher 3 Novigrad and many more that will follow) with their shiny new 4070 combined with their almighty 8 core beast 3700x (since he belives in generations, I guess if you go for a 3700x + 3070 build, and you keep your CPU around, that CPU should be able to reliably feed the new 4070. No? its just one generation of GPU difference. I mean it WAS a 8 core expensive behemoth beast CPU that you should've picked over 3600 if you wanted futureproof and upgrade paths for your next GPU. surely, it should at least allow for 1 generation of GPU upgrade. Imagine the horrors when nearly %40 of the 4070 sits chilling at 1440p waiting the CPU to render frames. Surely, 3700x should've made a difference over the puny shitty unusable 6 core POS that is called 3600. If not, I'm sure compensation would be in order by the person who suggested that CPU over the 3600, since that extra money paid for 3700x now practically has no meaning, since the person in question will also have to upgrade to altogether new CPU to keep the new 4070 beast fed. After all having %10-15 better %1s and %5-10 more framerate here and there won't able to fill that huge %40 GPU utilization that 4070 would have with 3700x. That is, if that ever happens, which is most likely to happen.

Came close to getting this. Then considered the 13700K instead because I was afraid it would start to not quite deliver in a few years from now. Ended up getting the 13900K because I had the money and do a lot of other stuff that require a beefy CPU.
13600K is the best bang for your buck high-end CPU right now.

Yeh I'm sure people will be more than willing to take your advice considering the incoherent nature of that post you've just typed up.
When you're purchasing new PC hardware it's about putting yourself in the best position for the present and future. If you're insistent on only thinking about the present at any given moment then yeh, the memes of upgrading all your hardware every other year in order to keep up do indeed become true, you're not even giving yourself or other people the chance for their PC hardware to have any degree of longivity. Considering what's been said I don't ever want to see you complain a game is "unoptimised".

If you keep using your 13900k in 2028 and do not upgrade or invest in a newer platform for video games by that time; I will award you a Neogaf gold. You can note this down if you want to. Legit, promise. If Neogaf, you or I exist by that time that is.

Your CPU is heavily bottlenecking even if just to reach 60 fps, have good frame pacing or good input lag... I now because I had to upgrade from Ryzen 2200g to my current 5600x and that alone removed tons input lag, I was then very GPU bottlenecked by a 1060 3gb but playing Shadow of the tomb raider at around 40 fps felt way better, framerate wasn't much better but frame pacing and input lag were on another level... If you had better CPU I'd say go for GPU first but in your case I'd rather update it first

Doesn’t it use FSR? The whole of FSR is to run at lower resolutions and reconstruct. These DF style analyses are irrelevant in a world with FSR/DLSS.Yes, very impressive

Didn't the 3600-3700 launch before the 30 series? You talk like they are the same gen but they aren't? The 5000 series cpus and the 30 series gpus launched the same year so thatd make them the same gen no? Youd need to compare to the 5700 perhaps?
I know this because I built my 3600 + 2080s with 32gb ram in in late 2019 (still going strong but looking to upgrade this year).

No, my post was satire. In my previous posts, I stated that Zen 3 was meant for Ampere. But they're adamant on thinking 3700x and 3080 is a popular match. I simply took a jab at them with that post. After all, they are the ones who think 3700x would give leeway for future GPU upgrades (that's why my post is satirical, since the damn CPU cannot even feed a 3080 EVEN at 4K to begin with in 2020. many ray traced games at 4k dlss quality/balanced became heavily bottlenecked. they claim it was a popular match somehow, but Zen 2 was the cheapskate generation and most people simply did not invest into the Zen 2 hype, especially if they were chasing after 2080ti/3080 and beyond. sure, ryzen 3600/3700x+2060-2080/3060ti matchings were very popular, but few dared to combine those slow threaded CPUs with upper high end Ampere beasts. most people went with the safe route on Intel or waited for Zen 3 or simply upgraded to Zen 3. there are literally MOST likely thousands of disgruntled "3700x" users who found huge solace and frametime quality in a cheap 5600x alternative for their super high end Ampere back then).
however, their reality is different. so i speak to their reality. their and mine reality do not align, sadly. in their world, 3700x is a fine match for 3080 and should be chosen over a 3600 so that it can support a future 4070 (this is beyond me, since the damn cpu, as i stated before, cannot even push and feed a 3080 like a 5600x does even at 4k, let alone 1440p. 3080 was a mighty powerful GPU at 4k when it was released)
This isn't how a popular "match" would perform;
its just a huge bottleneck. anything with ray tracing + open world / intensive CPU loads hammer the 3700x to a point makes it a useless CPU for such tier GPUs. this is simply not optimal.

wait wait wait... 720p on ps5??

Yes, all the shit that some little consoles have received this generation and ps5 delivers an almighty 720p and rarely hits 1080p at 60fps.
This is why I don't get tied up in resolutions and pick on consoles for a lower res...it will always bite you in the ass.

The news 7700x is like twice as fast as 3700x which surprised me very much and questions my pc gaming alliance even morne lol. Feels like I got this shitty cpu and platform just recently and it was actually July 2019!!!!!!
I can tell you, cpu was good but that x570 was terrible at first and installing new bios every fucking week was getting tired fast.
1 minute cold boot coming from 20seconds on 2500k was not what I expected but they ironed it out after a year.
Is it time for new platform, cpu and mobo ?
Yes.
Will I upgrade? Fuck no

When the 136K starts to "not quite deliver" the 139K will also "not quite deliver".
But since you are doing other thread heavy stuff with your CPU then it makes sense to get the most cores you can.
But of those thread heavy things.....gaming is not one of them.

Considering that the 13900K can be up to 20% faster than the 13600K in gaming, I wouldn't be so smug with my comments.
And 12% faster on average in gaming with higher 10% higher 1% lows. Not worth the 70% price premium at all but the 13900K can be appreciably faster already. But I forgot that for you guys, those 10,15, or 20% differences don't matter.

i'd ditch the 3700x, really. you dont even need a mobo or platform change. a cheap 5600 wrecks it sadly. NVIDIA GPUs have serious driver overheads, which reshuffles threads constantly, causing internal bottlenecks on anything older than zen 3. if you want my honest opinion, none of zen /zen+/zen 2 cpus were meant for such GPUs that relies on CPU bound driver scheduling. but here we are. of course naturally, this driver thing surfaced much later on, funny enough, to coincide with zen 3's release.
I mean look at this man. This is on a freaking 3070ti. Imagine the 3080 and horrors and ray tracing.
I know you like to play with super GPU bound settings at 4K and manage to feed your GPU but you're an outlier, which I respect that (meself is also an outlier, using a decrepit 2700 with a 3070, but here we are. I don't suggest my imbalanced people to others, because not everyone has your or mine priority.) but I'm sure you would still benefit from 5600x or 5800x .most of the stutters or inconsistenies you experience OTHER than shader compilation stutters are most likely caused by mismatched pair of CPU and GPU. the zen 2 CPUs are bound to have random stutters and hitches due to internal CCX latency stuff.look at its frametimes, and this is without ray tracing (ray tracing is more catastrophic on zen 2 cpus)
or if you want your 8 core loyalty, go for a 5800x 3D and seal the deal for the generation.
i mean u already invested a lot on an expensive x570, might as well make use of it lol

they matter if you're pushing for a 4090 instead of a 4080. i'd also match a 13900k and 4090. or 13700k with a 4080. and then, 13600k with a 4070ti and below.Considering that the 13900K can be up to 20% faster than the 13600K in gaming, I wouldn't be so smug with my comments.

but none of the will matter once you will want to upgrade a to GPU that is 2x faster; namely 5080-5090
look at table yourself, imagine you bought a super high end 10900k just 3 years earlier. how would that serve you with a 4090 upgrade? based on that graph, in CPU bound situations, you're losing nearly %53 performance compared to that. (and don't play the "it is 1080p, it does not matter!! card. you used them tables to make the 13900k worthwhile to begin with, so that argument is out of the window)
say you went for a 3070 10900k build in 2020. (not 10600k, because per your beliefs, 10900k should serve better for future upgrades). but now 10900k also bottlenecks the 4070ti heavily also (in this case, I'm referring to bottlencked situations where 4070ti is capable: Cyberpunk with ray tracing for example). what gives? neither 10600k nor 10900k matter for the new 4070ti, unless you play with niche graphical settings that put all the load on GPU (which is not your run off the mill PC user).
if you went for a 3090 and 10900k to start with, and use that rig for 5-7 years, its all fine.
but you went for a 10900k and 3070 rig in the hopes of upgrading to a 4070ti later on? 4070ti is already TOO damn fast for the damn 10900k. so in the end, 10900k only mattered over 10600k when you were choosing a 3090 over a 3080 or choosing a 3080 over a 3070. but it didn't, it doesn't and it won't matter once you go upper tiers, from 3090 to 4090, for example.
i'm not saying there is not a market for 13700k and 13900k. they matter when you claw those final %15-25 performances some GPUs can provide additionally, where 4090 comes in play. but once you push enormous 2-2.5x GPU performance increase by the virtue of sheer advancement or aggresive settings/DLSS2, stuff tends to haywire on unbalanced builds.
even 5800x 3d bottlenecks the 4070ti in CPU intensive situations where 4070ti is more than capable of for GPU operations. not even zen 3 is meant for ADA LOVELACE.

this test is broken. i have no idea how he got those results. especially that shadow of the tomb raider CPU bound town benchmark sequence is super SUS. that place is super single thread bound which gives 5600x a huge advantage
believe whomwever you want man. i dont trust that channel. you may not trust Odin's channel as well.

The 5080-90 won't be twice as fast as their predecessors.
Again missing the forest for the trees. I said that the faster CPU would last longer and suffered less over time and could also give you 1-2 more years or an extra generation. This entirely depends on the configuration you have. The takeaway is simply that the better CPU gives you potentially more upgrade paths than the weaker one and those 10-20% differentials could be the differences between a major bottleneck and not. Hence why I used the 9900K vs 9600K as examples.
And you still don't get it. The 13900K is still appreciably faster than the 13600K when you implied there was no difference. 20% in some scenarios is a substantial difference. Furthermore, you're still hung up on that 6-core bit which isn't the point. 6-core isn't the the disease, it's the symptom. The problem aren't the 6-core, it's their placement in the market and what chiefly Intel does to justify the higher SKUs. Take the 9600K which is an i5 part that always had hyperthreading but they decided to disable it to upsell the 9700K and 9900K. While 6-core 12 threads is fine, 6-core 6 threads isn't so good. Same for the 12400K. 6-core part but a much worse bin, resulting in it being a budget performer. Taking a look at the ACTUAL 6-core CPUs over the past 6 years shows us that they have aged worse than their bigger cousins and that's not necessarily due to them being 6-core but they have aged worse nonetheless.
It's not 6-core vs 8-core vs 10-core that you guys are going on about. It's actual 6-core parts that we can measure against better ones and when we saw the obvious differences that could go above 20% (when upon release there was almost none), you guys started downplaying them.
360Hz monitors are a thing. And this is just to test CPU performance.
Way smaller but I honestly don't game at 4K. This is purely a CPU benchmark.
