I put together a 7600X+4070ti super for my girlfriend yesterday, I fucked up and didn’t just fork over the $430 to Amazon before it went OOS. Watched some benchmarks, read some Reddit, decided to take the 7600X deal. I figured it’d still blow mine (been using for coming up on a year) out of the water. It’s getting good frames in everything and can crank settings/RT, but I am learning what a 1% low even is I’m assuming.

You can absolutely feel the difference when your rig isn’t being powered by Supreme Overlord, 7800X3D. There’s benchmark videos and watching the frames counter, yeah, it seems silly to pay double for 10-20 extra FPS. I question my own decision at times. But it’s the smoothness at which it delivers that makes it worth and such a premium experience.

I’m not nerdy enough to understand but the X3D is fuckin magical, get you one for your next build. I see the “Skimp on CPU in favor of GPU” like your grandparents telling you how easy it is to buy a house now. Not in 2024, old man.
