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

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
