9700k to 7600x upgrade with it?

[Jason Harrison]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if the upgrade from a inter i7 9700k to a ryzen 7600x would be worth it?

Also what motherboard would people suggest?

Thanks

It would probably help others if you stated what you primarily use your computer for.

Yeah sorry.

32gb 3000mhz ram, amd 7900xt gpu.

Mostly play fps games like bf2042 and tarkov

What monitor do you have? If you have a high refresh rate monitor then yeah it's probably worth it.

1440p wide-screen 144mhz

12700KF has a Xmas offer of £209. I am assuming you are using DDR4 ram.

How does that compare to the 7600x

Worse (Just looked). Although, I may pick one up anyway for a different build.

It's a solid upgrade on paper, but you'll need DDR5 RAM also. Are you hitting 144fps on those games with the 9700k?

I'd say yes, especially with your GPU being that powerful paired with your current CPU. For Tarkov performances with various CPUs, check this guy out on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@pyurologie

Even going from 5600x to 5800X3D, the performance upgrade with the same 3080 GPU was mindblowing in Tarkov, it was like I bought a new GPU. IIRC the 7600x is comparable to the 5800X3D, some games are better on the 7600x and some better on the 5800X3D but at least with an AM5 motherboard, you have the option to beat both 7600x/5800X3d with the 7800X3D if you ever feel like it.
