14700K vs 14900K for RTX 4090: HUGE Performance Difference?

Surprised by what? I’m frustrated by your accent 😂, but honestly, did you change the ring ratio speed for the i7? did you undervolt the processor? did you try to overclock it? Is memory speed the same speed in both tests? I9 of neither 13th gen nor 14 doesn’t have so much of an advantage over an i7. You have 200 mhz higher speed of an i9 and this might not be everything.

Hey! I had the 7700x with 4070 super and currently using 7800x3d with 4070 super. The reason that I upgraded the cpu was building another pc to my partner. When I was on the market for a new build when dragons dogma 2 released and I was frustrated with the performance, I liked the game but the stutter and the "low" pfs was not enjoyable. I just got the parts for her and took the 7800x3d to me. I'm playing at 2k and prefer 90+ fps. Cpu upgrade helped just a little with the dragons dogma but game just sucks. Other games that I play I didn't noticed any performance difference. I think it will be futile to upgrade 7700 to a current generation x3d chip, amd is probably cooking their new lineup and will release new cpus end of the year. Maybe you can upgrade to 9800x3d at that time.

Cache size may be what make the i9 wins over the i7. You could do a test with the i9 by matching the clock speed of the i7 clock and see if the fps boost is still there. Nevertheless, AMD has proven that cache size beats GHz in games.
@theivadim 13 днів тому
Cache beats GHz in some games. The perfect CPU must have both. That's why 7800X3D is good, but there still some games out there that run better on Intel CPUs. Once AMD cracks its GHz problem and gets those core clocks as high as Intel then it will have the perfect CPU. I hope it'll happen soon. And I hope that Intel will do the same and stay competitive.🙂

Sorry, I didn't understand the "sweating bullets" part🙂 About this configuration: I think of this kind of PC like this - It's a "shut up and take my money" kind of situation if we're building an RTX 4090 gaming PC. It means that it's absolutely fine to spend an extra several hundred $ to get more performance in order to make sure that there are as few compromises as possible. Imho, if one optimises their build for good cost-to-performance then they shouldn't buy an RTX 4090 in the first place. Go for something more sensible. Like an RTX 4080 SUPER or RX 7900 XTX.
