Upgrading from an Intel 10900K to a Ryzen 9800X3D
Upgrading from an Intel 10900K to a Ryzen 9800X3D
At 4k resolution, the 9600x and 9800x3d models stay within five percent of each other across most benchmarks even with a 4090. If you're willing to invest more than double for those slight gains, it's acceptable. It just needs to be clear that this is the recommendation given. I refer to the 9800x3d as a "waste of money at 4k" since its value is low compared to cheaper CPUs (usually under 200). I use the i5 13600k as an example, which has six cores similar to the 9600x, and I mainly run it in AAA games.
