Stop supporting them. Get a 9070 or rx7900. No difference on gaming

This thing is a beast. Worth buying for anyone doing a new AM5 build.

I have a 4090 and I went from a 12700K to 9800X3D. The difference is mind blowing in games. In CPU intensive games like Squad, Call to Arms, and Escape from Tarkov, my FPS nearly doubled. The 9800X3D is definitely faster than the 7800X3D, but the upgrade may not be worth it for most.
What resolution do you play at?

I had a 7800x3d build, very high scoring with the ram i had paired it with and OCd the ram. I had to sell that build due to move.
Bought a 5800x build, and guess what i get the same performance because i just do 1440p or 4k gaming. I felt so dumb having spent so much time on finding the ram, OCing etc. Lmao but on the bright side i sold it at a good price, it was paired with a 4090.

So unless you do 1080p or a very cpu intensive game like msfs (which my msfs is only a few fps different) save your money. I know we all want the very best, but that's a trap

It's pretty funny to see so many people triggered. It's just a CPU.

True, if you have unlimited money and do not care about deals then buy the 9800x3d.
However this is a deal site where we are supposed to be "saving money" with Slickdeal pricing. Not promoting the newest AMD "advanced marketing".
Did Userbenchmark send you with the "advanced marketing" bs? loll. This is a deal for a lot of people who were hunting for this sought after gaming king that was never in stock for more than a few minutes at a time. If you don't have the money, no one is stopping you from buying slower cpus.

Price might drop soon with new x3d chips coming out.

Not many games to play until gta6 so no rush for upgrades

If you can find it at a similar price point or even slightly higher, I'd take the 7950X3D over this for more than just gaming. If only gaming, this is the best. However ...I recently got the 7950x3D at microcenter bundled with MSI Mag tomahawk x670e motherboard and 32gb ddr5 for a bundle price of around $720, which came out to $453 for the 7950x3d, and it's an absolute flagship beast of a 16 core/ 32 thread CPU to match my 4090. Beyond future proof. I'm not sure $480 is that great of a price for the 9800X3D in comparison. Will eventually come down to below $400 in the coming months after the hype dies down. if you can wait, wait.
Got the 7950x3d for $334 in July and no tax, pretty much same bundle but 64gb of ram for $800

Somebody help an old gamer understand. This CPU is specifically aimed at gaming, there are better choices for production tasks. It's a slickdeal at $500, but from what I can tell CPU stops being the bottleneck after 1080p. By 4K, this is +/- a couple of fps from a CPU costing less than half as much.

I understand there are Siege or CS guys who want 500fps and will run low-res to get it, I just wouldn't have thought, in the wider gaming world, there were that many gamers who have limited themselves to low-res play, but also would spend this kind of money for a CPU?

Like late-2026? There will be plenty of games to play before then. Also, hot take for sure, but I believe GTA6 will be a disappointment. Rockstar isn't the same company it used to be and I think 6 is where it will show.

If you are value oriented and play at 4k, you can get a cheaper CPU. Not much difference.

Those who buys this want to max out any potential fps that might be left on the table with an rtx 4090 or those who do competitive gaming that want the highest fps at low res.

Quote from niteshoppa187 :
I hate to say it, but frame generation technology is looking like the future for AAA gaming. Take a look at games developed with the UE5 engine. RT, DLSS and Frame Gen are add-ons that can easily be implemented into any game, and dev's are already using it as a crutch for "free" performance. They will spend less time optimizing, and within another 1-2 years will pretty much expect you to have a GPU capable of these technologies.
While it is likely to be a thing...

DLSS 4.0 Multiframe gen is my specific critique in this post to claim NVIDIA is offering a huge step up in performance. I can GUARENTEE that playing on a 5070 with 2 generated frames per real frame isn't going to feel the same as a 4090 with 1 generated frame.

NVIDIA is lying about their performance by a lot. I will bet money that the 5070 is worse than the 4070 ti super when using standardized testing.
