I just enabled game boost in the bios. It was hitting 5ghz in the timespy test.

Will install it and check it out. Mainly gaming on 1440p though.
EDIT:
Overlay pic, Basically full graphics no FSR. PL15%, Min Frequency 2400mhz, Max 2900mhz, 1130mv.

Solid performance you’re getting there.

Tried that and was getting 180/200 fps and GPU utilization was at 100% so I guess I know what’s next on the shopping list!
This was the video I was thinking about -
It does assume though that you would be able to max-overclock whatever you are using though. If you just want to plug and play out the box its a little different. Also your 12600k if paired with the right memory and max OC'd should be able to get some good frames on WZ at a lower res. Might be able to get away with a memory purchase and overclock instead of a new CPU.
What refresh rate is your monitor?

I wasn't impressed with the latest AMD offerings and the outlay (MB,Ram etc) so I bought a 5800X3D as I was AM4 and it fixed most issues. I'm rocking a 7900XTX now and it performs well.

I was waiting for the 7800x3D but had a gut feeling it was going to be delayed and just smacked the 5800x3D (Had a 5900x) as a sidegrade as much.... I was wrong.
I was completely and utterly wrong. The 5800x3D is a gaming monster. Usually a CPU from a brand is good in some things and bad in others.
This low TDP guy is a monster in everything I throw at it.
Factorio type games? Best in Class.
3D games? Minimum Frames that are deliciously smooth.
General daily workloads? No major difference from the 5900x.
Best bang for buck for a gamer now is a decent B550 or X570 mobo with some decent DDR4 3600mhz-CL16 or CL14 Ram (Get the cheapest, Less than 1% difference on the 5800x3D) and you will be set for 3 years. By then DDR5 should have matured enough and mobo prices should have normlized.
Oh yah, The 5800x3D is cooled by a Deepcool AK620. It's that good.

Unfortunately eaten up by the power hungry 7900xtx in this instance
Love the 5800x3d and as you say - it should last another 3 years.

Yes, You are leaving performance on the table with anything less than an X3D chip even at 4K.
Bums, may as well just wait for the 7xxxX3D then and go the whole hog!

Check techspots here:
The Best Value Gaming CPU: 13600K vs 12600K vs 7600X vs 5800X3D vs 5600X
The Core i5-13600K is possibly the best value CPU all-rounder right now, but when looking purely at gaming the Ryzen 5 7600X is a strong contender as...

and make an informed decision. Minimum frame rates are the most important aspect in gaming. Smooth > Spikey High Frames.

Better idea for more performance if you have the funds tbh.
At 4k it's unlikelyt unless you are experiencing frame drops on the lows - its a much less CPU bound resolution so I would do some benchmarking first before spending any cash.

That’s what I’m gonna do. That socket will be good for a good few years.

Our Intel friends will probably go through 3 or more platforms during the AM5 life cycle.

Any boosts to your Port Royal scores with the new drivers @LtMatt ? I’ve seen some reports of 500 points increases.

Convince me on the 5800X3D.
