AMD vs Intel for Gaming

Mobo went poo last night and I have a 9900KF as of now.

 

The mobo for a Z390 is almost same money as a Z590

 

Do I stay with the 9900, or is there something intel has out that is significantly better to justify the upgrade,

 

or

 

Do we go AMD. 

 

Alot of things I read say the 5600X in most cases, will smack around a intel??? 

I am a ride or die intel guy so I favor them out of the gate, as that is what I have used for gaming since 2005, but am open since money is all of our friends, even more now as I get older HAHA

 

Not looking to spend 800+ on a CPU!

 

Thank you all for your help!

5600X is good, but if you just need a board why not replace it?

What is the goal here? You will no matter how you answer any other questions have to decide how much money you are willing to burn for a few more FPS at most. 

 

The 9900KF is still very new and you will undoubtedly benchmark better with e.g. an 10900K but you also undoubtedly will not notice any real world differencu while using the system, so is that worth 500+ bucks to you?

What they say is pretty much bullshit because the 9900KF still performs perfectly fine, so a new motherboard it is. Why upgrade the platform? That doesn't make sense. Is it a furnace? Yes, but that wasn't a problem for you before, so just go for another motherboard. Any platform change would cost more and not net you the "amazing" performance increases that you might have heard of.

That was my thought too when I looked at the speeds everyone is getting on the new stuff.  Seemed like less than 10% for a ton of money was average

performance wise it's gonna be a sidegrade at best, not worth the extra you'll have to pay. just replace it with a decent enough board.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

Just making sure I am not throwing good money at bad choices.

IE, product X is better now and for the future like the 9900 was, so spend the money and buy it, or is the 9900 still a fighter and nothing has really came out to justify the cost upgrade and stay with it and just get a new mobo

9900KF is a solid CPU still, we're kind of at the soft cap for CPUs at this point. Gains are much smaller than they were years ago.

 

Buy a Z390 board and enjoy the 9900KF for at least another 2-3 years easy.

Aorus and ROG still the best MOBO out?

Unless you need to run the kind of task where you leave the computer to do it's thing for hours your not going to benefit from the performance increase. If you were to look at an upgrade would it not be wise to wait for AMD's next socket and hope they support it as long as they have AM4.

 

These 10 or 20% performance boosts matter to industry where it results in more productivity for a home system it's not worth it.

Think so. My Gaming 5 is z370 is running the 9900K at 5.1Ghz without issue.  I am assuming their z390's are just as stout relatively.

To echo everyone here, just replace what broke.

 

For stock operation, you don't need either an amazing motherboard or cooler for a 9900k. Wife has a mid-range Gigabyte Z390M Gaming and a Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi. Handles it fine.

I would replace the dead board with a sweet oc board to run the shit out of that sweet Intel cpu because that’s what it was made for..
