[Jono8]

I should just get a 9800X3D but I've been looking for a while and can't find one at MSRP.

What?

It's in stock in loads of places as well as far as I can see?

The 9800x3d RRP is $499 USD so it's being sold for "RRP" as much as the 9900/9950x3d is .

I assume he is referring to the £450 price they where when released.

currently £488.99 on OCUK

Come on it's only 38 quid more FFS...

That's the price of a decent meal for two or a round of drinks for 4 to 6 people

I know but sometimes people refuse to buy items once they have seen them at lower prices.

I got my 9800X3D for £500 towards the end of November

It can, for some, be difficult to get over when much had been made about the MSRP. Perhaps just as much when the MSRP seems limited to a certain number of units.
It somewhat seems like bait and switch, at least it does to me.

But, there can be needs. And if you are the one needing the component to get a system up and going, and it is urgent, just reluctantly accept it being what it is.

Damn annoying though, as to what can seem to be normalised selling tactics these days.

Is it worth going from 7800X3D to 9800X3D or 9950X3D. I have a 4090 i hear the boost in fps quite decent.

I've just gone 7800X3D to 9950X3D (With a 9700XT, 1440p Gaming) and I'm unsurprisingly seeing improvements everywhere.

This is what I don’t get. If you get enjoyment from something, not buying it because it is a few quid over is just silly.

Ah ok, fair enough. I hadn't realised they were £450 on release in the UK.

I get it to be honest. If you compromise on these things continually it's a slippery slope until you get things like £2500 GPUs...

It’s the lack of competition that dictates the price more so in my opinion. Virgin Media are a prime example. My bill has gone up even though everything is exactly the same as last contract. If I refuse to pay I lose out, I’m not going to sit in darkness to prove a point. We need competition to bring the prices in line.

I agree regarding the GPU’s, everyone has their limit and if everyone refused to pay it would stop……Then we have people paying double and it all goes out the window.

What coolers have you all got to cool this? I've ordered the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE just hope its good enough for it.

Just to follow up on this after my belated setup - I'm getting low 30's idle (31-33) and the highest I've seen so far is 71. I could probably sweat it with prime 95, shut the study door and all that nonsense to get it higher, but in short I don't find it noticeably hotter than my 7800X3D.

Caveat of course is, that CPU had been on there ~18 months... was the CPU paste going 'off'? who knows.

It's a little the over-paying and a little that I think I'm just trying to talk myself into a 9950X3D... (but it's a hard sell)

Yup, talking myself out of it too
AM5 boards are not cheap and I'm limited to mATX choices to boot.
My total upgrade outlay is looking like ~ £1500

I think I'll wait, save the money and bend over for Nvidia to shaft us during the 60 series release - will upgrade the complete stack at that time

Good ones are creeping up, my 650E was £190 or something like that, and it doesn't even have spdif out

Took my 7950x out yesterday to replace with a 9950x3d. The MX-4 was dry and simply flaked off the CPU and block. I was very surprised it was like that after only 14 months...

How's that 9070xt working out for you?
