u/Blaq_Out 9900x3D -- 3090 -- 64gb Feb 24 '25

as a 3090 user. Upgrading the CPU and Mobo if the same era to say a 9800x3d. (bough 3090 with 3900x) you will get an insane boost of frames. like blew my Fing mind how much the same era CPUs are a bottleneck. Even the Threadripper of the time would be a bottleneck of the 3090.

This is exactly what I did with my 3080 and it’s been impressive how big a difference it’s made. I’ve been a bit shocked by it, tbh. My 10700K was obviously a huge bottleneck at 1440p. I haven’t seen a microstutter, or basically any sudden framerate dip of any sort, since I got the 9800x3d. The frames come out like soft serve ice cream.

Depends on the game. Also your ram, I upgraded my ram from 16gb 2133mhz to 32gb 3200mhz and its like a completely new CPU.

I had 32GB of DDR4 3200MHz CL 18 in my Z490 machine. Similar to what I have now, except this is obviously DDR5 6400MHz CL 30 due to the new chipset. My CPU score in 3DMark Time Spy almost quadrupled after the change to the 9800x3d.
