Question 13700kf or 7800x3d?

[Yankee_4tm]

Hi guys. Im building a PC. I wanted to buy 7800x3d but after burn issues i thought that problem will last long and switched to Intel product, bought 13700kf already with XMP profiles and LGA 1700 socket motherboard. After i bought it AMD fixed that problem in a month updating Bios. As everyone around advertise it, 7800x3d the best gaming cpu, it makes me to have a big desire to have it. I am real gamer (no content making, video editing or another progam working). Playing on 4k monitor. GPU - 7900XTX.
Now i have an option to sell my parts (cpu, mobo, ram) a bit cheaper (80$) than i bought. And adding money buy new 7800x3d with its mobo and expo profile RAM.
The question is, Is 7800x3d in 4K gaming worth it? Who knows is there enough difference between them in 4k gaming?

Worth is something only YOU can determine.
4k gaming performance is primarily determined by the graphics card and not so much by the cpu.
Is your performance suffering now?

I suspect you will be getting a sideways move.
If budget is not an issue, look for a I9-13900KS

I havent tried PC yet, still in box.
No sir i don't need 13900ks i dont do any kind of work or 3D renderings, video editing other stuff. I play only games. And in youtube there are videos that show 7800x3d performs more fps than 13700k and 13900ks both.

Is this a pre built unit?
If so, what are the specs?

I can not advise you on the chances for failure of the 7800X3D.
It is not unusual for new products to have issues.
Usually they are benign and are fixed by bios updates.

Right now i have in box ( i havent built it yet, but bought already):
Case: NZXT h5 flow rgb
Psu: NZXT C1000G
SSD: SN850X 1TB
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX

CPU: 13700kf
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 2x16gb 6400mhz CL32 DDR5
Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix Z790-H DDR5.

I want to sell last three and buy next ones:
CPU: 7800X3D
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 2x16Gb 6000Mhz CL30 DDR5
Motherboard: MSI B650 Carbon DDR5

For these last i need to pay additional 150$ if that worth it. So the question was in that, to increase some fps, will there be worth difference in fps?

And about 7800x3d failure issue, they have fixed it already by bios update, now there is no problem ( just i said that they fixed it after i bought intel cpu).

The 7800X3d all the way, it runs cooler, uses less power, is faster, and will have an upgrade path in a few years. LGA 1700 is already dead, sure theres the 14th gen refresh coming out this year, but thats just a refresh, and after that its a dead platform. AM5 you should be able to buy a new CPU for 2 years from now, I believe its being supported until 2026 currently. Heck AMD just released a new chip for AM4 this week, the 5600X3d, this is after AM4 was supposed to be EOL with no new chips.

If you're doing only 4K gaming, then any AM5 X3D processor is going to be wasted here. This is what the 7900 XTX gets at 4K ultra quality settings (from https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-7900-xt-pulse/30.html)

And if you continue pursuing 4K gaming, then the video card is going to be the limiting factor here for the foreseeable future.

You could go "but having that CPU overhead will be nice!" It would be... but even my 5600X (not the X3D) can still manage 240+ FPS on Cyberpunk when doing CPU-leaning benchmark (i.e., all graphics quality to their lowest).

If you want to min-max your value here, get an i5 or Ryzen 5 CPU.
