just bought amd 9700x and i will have it by next sunday the worry is that the main reason i have chosen the 9700x over the 7800x3d and the 9800x3d apart from the difference in price is the fact that i have heard various people in different websites complain that with their x3d cpu they have had stuttering and micro stuttering in their games and sometimes outside of games now this may be nothing to do with the cpu maybe its the gpu or drivers or some setting they need to change but i has put me off the x3d but i still have doubts maybe i should take the risk and get a x3d as this pc needs to last for a while as i will not be updating or replacing anytime soon but the thought of spending 2k on a pc and it having constant problems doesnt exactly fill me will happyness. dont worry this is just me having a rant.
 
I have bought the 9700x for my first pc build. but i have delayed till 15th October so plenty of time to reconsider things, having second thought about it should i consider paying the extra and getting the 9800x3d, the main reason i sent for the 9700x is the difference in price(the 9800x3d is £160 more) but the difference in price is not that important if you factor in how long i hope it last in this machine but mainly because i saw somebody going on about stuttering on their 9900x3d and so i did the worst thing i could do and searched for stuttering and the 9800x3d and there were loads of people having problems and they seem to mainly be people with x3d cpu's, now i now there are many factors involved like drivers and bios settings and even mouse settings but it put me off and i wanted to take less risk in cost and stress so went for the cheaper possibility less risky option but now i have ordered it and have 1 week to think not sure. help please.
 
Unfortunately spending £2k+ on a system does not mean its not going to have problems though its clear that you wanted a X3D cpu so buy the X3D you want and test it out for yourself and if everything is ok then ignore what you saw online and enjoy.

An example is I can google ecore stuttering and find all kinds of people having issues though using Windows 10 I've never had to disable them to resolve a stuttering problem its always something else thats causing it.
Yeah i don't really want to spend loads of money and it not work, i dont have the money to replace it if it all goes wrong and dont really want to spend weeks or months trying to fix it or maybe not fix it, i just dont know but decision is not going well at the moment.
 
some people say that the 9800x3d would be wasted with a 9070xt but i dont know, i just want to game at 1440p at high settings and multitask with various browsers and programs open but just want a simple life but it never seems to happen.
