Except its clearly showing in 4k and 1440p reviews that the cpu has a massive bearing on the performance. My 9980xe is holding back my 4090 a lot.

up 50% difference in framerates at 1440p between a 13700 and a 5800x and up to 57% at 4k.

Except? I can't tell if you're disagreeing with me?

Clearly the video proves my point, the 13700K is 2 generations newer and higher end, it is a faster CPU, obviously.

If you were to look at the 4K results you would say there isn't much difference, 8%.

The 1080P results prove there is a much greater difference than that, 23%.

So 1080P testing matters.

As a 4K gamer almost 100% of the time a couple of those results were interesting and I was hoping to move on from the TR as I am mostly gaming now. In general there still seems to be a big bottleneck at 4k even with a 4090 and it's hard to justify the upgrade as itching for it as I am. Maybe reviews today will show a few games where the 3D versions help at 4k.

Frankly that video is a little strange.

He used the 5800X because in a previous life it was one of the fastest CPU's you could buy, in its day it was faster than the 10900K, but to use it today to test the 4090 is really odd, what's even worse is making a video about how he made a mistake using it for 4090 testing, as if that shouldn't have been obvious.

A 7700X would have been fine, the CPU to use that would give the 4090 the best chance is the 13900K.

sort of agreeing and disagreeing!!!!

As much as 1080 "should" give you guidance on how games might perform at 1440p and 4k, it isnt always the case which its why its best to wait for the 1440p and 4k results to be out to make a decision. If you just game at 1080 then fine.

And yes the average at 4k may well be 8% but there can by still up to 50% difference in some games between this gen cpu and last gen cpu never mind two generations ago. Thats a lot.

And you may well just look at the 1080 results and go, yeah thats expected as my cpu isnt the top of the range latest intel one but by the time I am running at 1440p the framerate difference will be minimal and then discover that you still have up to 50% difference at 1440p in some games and far more games than at 4k.

Yes because some games are either so old or so low stress in graphics terms that even at 4K they don't bother a high end GPU much, especially one as fast as the 4090.

I'm not saying 4K CPU testing shouldn't be a thing, of course it should, but next to 1080P testing, for CPU performance in games, its academic.

1080P testing is the one that matters most, not least.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review

AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D is a speedy AM5 processor, but its added cache doesn't do enough to justify its effective price premium. Current Core i9 chips, and AMD's own 7950X, tamp down its relative value.

3 times less power than the 13900k in games..... Amazing

Ordering on release tomorrow :)

Only take a few months to pay for itself vs a 13900K/KS with electricity prices at current values!

Looks like the ccd part tops out at 5.25ghz so if the 7800x3D tops out at 5ghz there should be a slight gaming performance increase for the 7950x3d. Probably not enough to justify the cost though.
