CPU Advice

[ShyGFX]

I'm currently on Ryzen 7 7700 and looking to upgrade and just after some advice. All i use it for is for gaming and rendering 3D Prints.

 

[ShyGFX]

What graphics card do you have and what resolution do you play at?


Does the rendering have long waits with all cores pegged at 100%?

I'm asking those questions because if you're not careful, you'll notice nothing except a lighter wallet.

Im using a 4070ti super pro art and i only play in 1440

 

[ShyGFX]

agreed.


is this program heavily multithreaded?
what is your budget?

the program isnt very demanding tbh, budget wise im happy to pay any cost as it'll be a uprdade to last me a while

i would sugest a 9800x3d or a 9950x3d, then can look at a gpu upgrade in the future and not have to worry about a possible cpu upgrade too

i was looking at these cpu but still very undecied

 

[ShyGFX]

honestly if you're fine with the current performance of your 7700+4070 ti super, i'd be inclined to leave it alone tbh (why wouldn't you be, it's an extremely competent setup)

you'd probably be better off skipping this generation and then getting the 10800x3d or whatever AMD decides to call their next AM5 chip
the reason being, that will be the last AM5 x3d chip (as far as we are aware), and then no more upgrades after...so, that will be the end-game for AM5, and will be the upgrade that gives you the biggest performance uplift
if you get the 9800x3d now, you'd still be leaving performance on the table for AM5, and the cost difference to upgrade from the 9800x3d to the 10800x3d may not be large enough to make financial sense

im planning to swap to full watercooled next year so might be worth holding out till then?

 

[ShyGFX]

as in a custom watercooling loop? that's an even worse investment lol

it’s more of a tax right off than a investment

 

[ShyGFX]

In that case, you need a 9950X3D.

thats what the tax man thinks too

 

[ShyGFX]

Agreed. For tax purposes, definitely a 9950X3D

In fact, i think Asus ROG is also calling!

i was looking at that mobo and also picking up a rog 5090
