Posted August 2, 2020 I am trying to build a PC to competitively play games like Fortnite, and Warzone at above 240 fps in even intense scenarios. I have a 240hz monitor btw. I am on a budget though, and have narrowed my choices to the 9700k, and the 3800x. Nobody lecture me about price to performance, because AMD wins, but I want to know if the Intel chip will perform a lot better when overclocked. Cooling is no problem as I have a Deepcool Assassin III. Which will perform better in extreme framrates: the 9700k overclocked, or a 3800x.

Who told you that AMD CPUs didn't perform well when overclocked? Just get the 3800x. Also, your graphics card is gonna play a bigger part into what framerates you get.

Posted August 2, 2020 Well overclock doesn’t matter to much in some cases and just look at the price the amd is more worth it more performance maybe you can’t reach super high ghz but it has more threads Reminder I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100% Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2020 Author My graphics is fine. RTX 2080. I didn't say AMD didn't perform as well overclocked, sorry for the misunderstanding. I know AMD overclocking doesn't improve it a whole ton, and I want to know if the 9700k, when overclocked, performs better than the 3800x, overclocked or not.

Posted August 2, 2020 Author Thank you mahyar, but I narrowed the choices down to these for that reason, and price. The 9900k is just a better binned, hotter 9700k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but honestly you would probably be fine with either and get super high framerates. I would personally go AMD because they have a much better value and are probably just gonna be be best in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2020 if you didnt have bought the mobo you can go with 10600k its about same price and beats 9700k by a little bit and has a better upgrade path if it was useful give it a like btw if your into linux pay a visit here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2020 Author I haven't bought a motherboard. I am waiting to choose CPU. I planned to use Asus ROG z390e for Intel, and X570 TUF for AMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 2, 2020 Author I kinda did want to go with 10th gen, but the 10600k does perform slightly worse due to only 6 cores in those two games I mentioned. I would be willing to try if you could prove it performs better. I am considering 10700k, but only if it performs a good bit better than the 9900k.

Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) if you are only gaming (even producvity), the 3800x is not worth it, save your money and get the 3700x https://www.techspot.com/review/1899-ryzen-3800x-vs-3700x-difference/ Edited August 2, 2020 by Oswin G502 Lightspeed Review PC: Spoiler i5-6400 GIGABYTE GA-H110M-DS2 CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 2X4 DDR4-2666MHz ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX 1060-O6G SEAGATE 2TB HDD FUJISTU F300 240GB SSD CORSAIR CX750M Laptop: Spoiler Acer Nitro 5 i5 8300h GTX 1050 4Gb 12 Gb RAM 128 Gb SSD 1 Tb HDD Peripherals: Spoiler Keyboard: Logitech G310 Atlas Dawn (Romer G) Rexus Legionare MX5.1 (Content Browns) Mice: Logitech G602 Logitech G502 Lightspeed Steelseries Rival 105 Logitech M330 Headset: Logitech G430 Cooler Master MH 752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2020 Author 3800x is only 30-40 bucks more expensive, and I am kinda leaning towards Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
