CPU Upgrade with 4090

[NoahIAm]

To wait for 7950x3d or buy intel i9 39700k paired with a 4090? 

I recently purchased a TUF 4090 and currently have it running with my old amd 3700x so im needing to upgrade just don't  know if I should stick with amd or go back to intel. I do plan to use pc for some work related things so I could put extra cores to use but it is after all primary my gaming rig. I really just want the best out of my 4090.

Well. 7950x3d reviews are juuust around the corner ( 8 days ) so wait for reviews. I hope you mean 13900k because the 39700k might be 60 years away.  I had to swap my 9900k ( slightly faster than 3700x ) as it could not keep up with my RTX 4080 at all, I bought the 7700x and I am extremely happy with that CPU.  I plan on getting a X3D later whenever they release a 9800X3D in a few years or so ( hopefully).  So yes, definitely get a newer CPU to pair with your 4090. But wait for reviews

Maybe I just need to have patience, Im so close yet so far. One things for sure, I can't stand this 3700x anymore.

wait for the 7950x3d unless you need a new cpu now.

Totally understandable. The stutter fest with my 9900k@5.1ghz and RTX 4080 was insane.  Metro Exodus / Tiny Tina's Wonderland was unplayable so I swapped it as fast as I could.  With the 7700x I have absolutely NO stutter and the experience is fantastic ( higher avg frames as well ). In Hell Let Loose I went from 110-120fps stutter fest to an insane 260fps by just changing the CPU... I was bottlenecked like crazy. Both system used 32gb ram.  Just wait 8 more days, you can do it!

If you can afford a 4090, you should prob get the fastest gaming CPU you can afford. At present, it's going to be the 13900KS. But I suspect the X3D chips will beat it.
