What CPU should I choose to pair with my 4070TiSuper at 4K?

[baconhead]

I'm a gamer so maybe amd CPUs would be good choice?

7500F will be fine. 4070TIS will be the be the limiter in all scenario's even with a more powerful CPU. Sure a 9800X3D will give you marginal single FPS maybe more but not worth it, unless you maybe play start of 2010's games at 4k.

That's just false. 

 

But in general if you value graphics fidelity over FPS then yes, you'll do fine even with a budget CPU like 7500F.

 

If you like to play at higher FPS at the cost of some graphics settings then better CPU will definitely help. 

Comes down to what you actually want.

At 4K we can safely presume they're pushing graphical fidelity and aren't playing competitive shooters as they have different priorities so logically stay away from 4K.

 

Sure I haven't found a exact 7500F vs 9800X3D comparison at 4K on a 4070TIS card but comparable benchmark comparisons of 7600 vs 7800X3D at 4K is very often near each other within margin of error. At worst I saw Sony games in Spiderman, God of War and Horizon Zero getting disproportionate 15-20% gain at 4K over a 7600 but as an average rule for 4K gaming, I don't see a reason anyone going above a 9700X and for FPS per $$$ spent, 7500F and 7600 are amazing picks.
