Are you usually playing at native 4K?

Most of the time I can do native 4K but with super demanding stuff like FF16 then I have to use DLSS.

Is your target performance 60FPS in most cases?

What time is it?

Yes, for now I just have a 60 hz 4k monitor. Next year I’d love to get a 4k 240hz monitor now that I’ve seen what 240hz looked like in a store a couple of weeks ago. (Amazing)

True. I can't go back lol. The motion clarity is amazing at high refresh rates and BFI or ULMB.

Thank you, you saved me some money—I was about to pull the trigger yesterday after the PC store I usually buy from, messaged me. As I mentioned, I mainly play at 1440p, and my favorite games I play on PC are RTS and Total War games.
I play other types of games on my PS5. Since I spend a lot of time on my PC for work, couch gaming is my way to unwind and disconnect from my PC.

yeah at 1440p-4k you're really only seeing big differences in sim games, maybe some VR stuff, Civ 6 turn time, and some improvements in 1% lows when you're not gpu bound. Won't be a massive difference.Thank you, you saved me some money—I was about to pull the trigger yesterday after the PC store I usually buy from, messaged me.

Not for gamers

Intel has no immediate plans for Core Series with "3D V-Cache", but confirms large cache for future Xeon CPUs - VideoCardz.com
Intel confirms response to “3D V-Cache” for next year, just not for gamers AMD offers 3D V-Cache products across both data center and consumer markets. The second-generation X3D is now available with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, which is technically available to all consumers. However...

It feels like we’re going into an era where there are best CPU’s for specific situations but Intel wants to stick to the “one cpu for everything” approach.Not for gamers

It's funny because AMD was like that with zen 1 and 2, better than Intel in everything BUT gaming. Intel in the meantime was releasing one 4 core CPU after another with a bit higher performance.
AMD has both parts of the market covered with something like 9950x3d. While people that are only interested in games have 8 core 3d CPUs.

Got my new build done and did some stress tests/benchmarks. I'm using a Peerless Assassin 120 and got a 1339 on Cinebench24 with a -30 UV at 5350 MHz. I was hovering around the high 80's and pushed near 92C a few times, so I may repaste and reseat the cooler and see if that helps. Overall, this thing is crazy, especially coming from an i7 9700K that ran hotter than the sun!
So naturally, I'm going to go play HL2 for the first time in years instead of something new that will actually push this beast

Those temps look normal to me actually. Keep in mind that this is the first X3D part where they raised the thermal limit from 89C to 95C.Got my new build done and did some stress tests/benchmarks.

With core performance boost enabled in the bios then the cpu's going to want to keep boosting as long as there is thermal headroom.
Stophesalreadydead.gifOof. So much for the "New gaming king"Leonidas was expecting.

Yeah, you're probably right about the temps. I just keep seeing what other people are reporting they're getting online, but who knows what kind of cooler/case they're using. I'm guessing a lot of them are using pretty big AIOs.
My 3080 feels like a brand new card, though. Can't believe how much of a bottleneck my 9700k has been after all these years.

Thats what happens when you don't have enough cash due to blowing it all on failed projects like Optane.

Thanks not-Steve.
I'm over trying to explain why 4k benchmarks that are GPU limited are idiotic.

Just following up on this; no crashes after 20+ hours of gaming. CPU stays super cool as well (not surprising with the -50 undervolt). I've also actually been able to tighten my RAM timings from 30-40-40-96 to 28-36-36-96 and it's still stable as a rock, passing OCCT CPU+Mem stability test with no errors. Cinebench 2024 score now over 1450.
I'm going to have trouble ever wanting to upgrade from this down the line as I got so lucky with this one.

AMD Claims Top 10 Best-Selling and Most Sought-After CPUs on Amazon
AMD has claimed the top ten spots in Amazon's best-selling and most wished-for category with its Ryzen processors. The success of AMD's CPUs can be attributed to the competitive pricing, top-tier performance, and overall features provided by Team Red. In its best-sellers category, Amazon lists...

First part of new build arrives tomorrow:
MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI
Next up is to source 128GB DDR5, white PSU and a new case
Waiting for the 9950X3d / 5090 in Jan at which point my Son will get my 12900k, 4090

Why does that make sense?
I'm quite surprised to see such bad idle power consumption TBH.

£900 for the new CPU, ram and mobo for the gains at 1440p, and especially UW and 4k would never be worth it. You’re talking about less than 10% if that.
On the other hand if you game at 1080p, particularly competitively, then it could make a big difference.
