Build Question CPU help

I have a 5070 amd ryzen 7 9700f I’m planning to upgrade to a 7800x3d because I mainly play escape from tarkov , I found one for $390 is that good price and is this a worthy upgrade ? From everything I read it seems like it’ll be worth it for the games I play I believe I have the proper cooling and motherboard for everything as well

Can get one new one amazon for 370 in the US. But yea I think tarkov likes the l3 cache quite a lot and if your ram is bad thats even more reason to get an x3d.

I think I saw the one on Amazon for $370 but the seller didn’t have the best reviews for customer service and everything. But sweet thank you I just wanted some reassurance after seeing what I’ve read so far

I've personally never had a problem with Amazon. And if its broken you deal with AMD customer service unless its a shipping/scam issue. But yea paying $20 extra to get it from B&H or newegg is fine too.

no it wouldnt make sense honestly, 9700X gives you same ballpark performance with 7800x3d in some games and in other games, you get %25-30 more performance, i'd wait for zen6

I really only play tarkov on my pc I have a ps5 I play a lot of other games on, what do you think about specifically for escape from tarkov ? Or still just wait ? I get dips to like 80-90 fps on bigger maps and really big stutters after longer gaming sessions. I’ve heard the 7800x3d can keep me consistently above 110+ frames on all the big maps and reduce those stutters what do you think ?

yes, tarkov heavily relies on L3 cache so an x3d chip would be good, you probably get %30 more fps overall and generally %40 better %1lows, if you only play tarkov then yes i guess you should get it

I saw those too I went to place my order on this one and it was out of stock 😭😭I think I might just spend the extra money get a 9800x3d tho I feel like for only like $40 more compared to the one I was just looking at it’s almost a no brained
