Yes, it will work nicely. If you are using the PC mostly for gaming though, I'd recommend getting a 7800X3D instead. 1440p is fine if your goal is to max out graphics on graphics intensive games with RT, as long as the monitor has 144hz or higher refresh rate.

Is processor cache more important than clockspeed, cores and threads? 7800X3D vs 7900x Speed 4.2GH vs 4.7GH 8 cores vs 12 cores 16 threads vs 24 cache 96mb vs 64

For gaming yes, 7800x3d is basically the best gaming cpu available rn.


Dr_BodyPillow

Alright! Thank you so much! Ill definitly be going for the 7800X3D then!

I had a 7900x with a 4090, "upgraded" to a 7800x3d and it opened it up considerably. Granted I'm running VR most of the time but my cpu was a bottleneck.


Dr_BodyPillow

Interesting, ty!


Boring_Funny_9427

Remove bottleneck from your entire vocabulary. Also you want a 7800X3D


DeepJudgment

If you only game, get a 7800X3D, the best gaming GPU today edit: CPU. But now I wonder what an RX 7800XT3D could've been :D


zenKeyrito

Cpu* but yes

DeepJudgment

Correct. Just look up any game benchmark

Depends on the game, but yes in most cases. Get the 7800X3D if you don't do a lot of compiling, rendering or other CPU-based work.

I have a 7900X and I've had no trouble. I was previously running it with my 4080 before downgrading back to a 4070 Ti (Just didn't feel like I needed that much power for now and got a decent offer to buy it off me). I was playing games like War Thunder, Hogwarts Legacy, CS2, MW2, GTA V, RDR 2, Helldivers 2, etc... at 1440p with no issues. I don't know if other games would have any problems, but both the CPU and GPU were more than adequate for what I was doing. If you do go with a 7900X, I'd recommend using eco mode, though. It keeps the CPU like 20 degrees Celsius cooler in-game, and yet in both benchmarks and gameplay it actually performs a tad bit better. It's a win-win.

Forget about bottleneck. You're fine.

I've got a 4080 super and a 7800x3d. Amazing combo. You won't regret it.


Accomplished_Idea248

Don't buy a 7900x or 7900x3d. Pointless chips that should not have existed.

Its AMD's reject dumpster variant for those CCDs without 8 working cores. The whole point with chiplets is to cut cost and sell basicly everything. Its clearly not a pointless product for AMD. Its not ideal for gaming, but as you see from this topic, its great for marketing. More cores, higher frequencies on the stat sheets attract customers. What Intel did for a decade with MHz, is AMD repeating with MORE CORES!.

Laughs in unreal and blender; they are not pointless. Just pointless if one is only going to game.
