A ryzen 7 3700X would deliver the same experience, and you'd get the same upgrade path going forward. @t-virus Yeah, if you are buying a new CPU primarily for gaming, I wouldn't spend another $100 more on a Ryzen 9 3900X since the R7 3700X will give you mostly the same performance across the board. I wouldn't recommend the I9-9900K either for the simple fact that you are still getting the same performance with the 3900X, and even the 3700X does a damn good job competing with it.

Posted March 9, 2020 @t-virus @CB_J_IRacing Here are some benchmarks at 1440P/2160P resolutions proving my point.

It could mean something as simple as a demo, like we saw at CES last year for zen 2. That said, I would be very surprised if AMD doesn't release something on the desktop before Black Friday season.

A ryzen 7 3700X would deliver the same experience, and you'd get the same upgrade path going forward. Ya he's right on. A lot of the ryzen line does great (especially if you are gaming above 1080p, where its even more GPU dependent) and a 3600 does awesome at 1440p and 4k. If you were really worried you could jump up to the 3700/3800X which does slightly better and might be your sweet spot (price/performance). 3900x gives you just a hair more for more cost unless you are going to do something with all those cores. That said...3900x price drop to 400 on sale?! That sale honestly has me thinking about it.

Yes, the 3700x is more than capable of handling 1440p gaming, and you wont hurt in the next 3 years vs a 9900k. Itll be unlikely that any GPU pushes into frame rates that hurt CPU's like 1080p 240hz refresh does, and no GPUs right now can touch 1440p 240hz (plus I have not seen that monitor yet!). Other than esports low graphics titles (overwatch, rocket league, LOL, DOTA) I dont get consistent 165hz at 1440p with a 2080ti. We are at least a GPU generation away from seeing consistent 1440p high refresh being an option.

Posted March 9, 2020 The 9900k is an awesome CPU, and has its place in the right scenarios. Gaming - king (although a small lead) Adobe suite - does well, and if you are a photoshop user, its the king there too. 8/16 config is a really nice spot for gaming/productivity that a lot of the market can use well Specifically, adobe premiere and photoshop are 2 programs that are common, do really well with intel, and this CPU does great in. Add gaming in, and faghetaboutit. Thats a combo that a lot of people find themselves in (and I fell into as well) It is and has been overpriced for sure. Honestly if the 3900x was out and selling for 400 when I bought mine, I would have jumped to AMD El Zoido: 9900k + RTX 4090 / 32 gb 3600mHz RAM / z390 Aorus Master The Box: 3900x + RTX 3080 / 32 gb 3000mHz RAM / B550 MSI mortar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 9, 2020 You would even be ok with a 2070 super. It's a 2080 die just less cache and such, it's just not as stable as a 2080 so the clocks go above and below what a 2080 runs.
