I will soon have the most unbalanced system here

unbalanced you could say i am too lol Mac pro 7.1 16 core 96g ram with 6900xt for Mac OSX and 4090fe for windows 11 but in video encoding the 4090 is the daddy. In Mac OSX the 6900xt as Apple dont support Nvidia. but i do play games now and then and this is my time spy extreme score. not bad for a Mac.

 
Oh, something I can actually compete in!

Sounds good I will wait, will need a whole new platform and anything competitive has got to be good for us consumers.


As Orcvader says; upgrade whole platform for next X3D chips. GAming wise the 5800X3D kept up with the top AMD & Intel CPU's for much less money. AMD really filled a niche with gamer specific CPU's - hope they do the same with the next gen of X3D CPU's. The gains in 1% lows was a difference you could actually 'feel' and not just measure. As long as you are UWQHD or greater with high hz panel then everything is fine - anything less then even the top CPU's still leave the 4090 bottlenecked. It's 4k 120hz+ that these cards really shine at.
 
i've got a i7 7700K with a 4090. i'm bottlenecked a bit but not a great deal, i'm a vr gamer and game at high resolutions. i'll likely buy a ryzen 7000 x3d cpu or intel 13900KS when they release. or maybe not. i'm actually quite happy with the performance i'm getting right now.
 
At 4K gaming your be fine, my 4090 with be paired with my 2015 PC until i buy other parts, and my cpu is a skylake 6700K, at 4K using a 13900K down to like even a 8700K is only like a 15%/20% difference, in some games was like just 5% difference even. but i will be gaming at 4K.

I've got a 10700k and a 4090 and it's doing ok. Waiting to see what the new X3D chips bring but I need 64gb of ram for non gaming stuff so a platform change is going to be spendy.
