With RTX 4090. What difference is there when the video card is RTX 3060 Ti?
Next to the 3070Ti I used for a long time: i5-10500, i5-13500 and i7-14700KF. There are zero differences between 13500 and 14700KF, the video card returns the same scores in the benchmarks. The i5-10500 has small penalties (only in some games), but you don't notice them when you play.

I think he can save his money for a future purchase, a 5600X or 5800X (very attractive prices) being more than enough for his video card.


I notice that there are still many victims of marketing and I see an attractive X3D with 30% extra price for 1% extra performance... if it exists even next to the RTX 4090.
Some tests with video cards from the middle area (4070/7700XT, etc.) will probably put them in depression. WTF?! Zero differences between my expensive X3D and a budget processor?! Fck, my life is ruined!
Wasn't a big impact of X3D involved improved framerate in 1% lows? Even without the best GPU would one still get improved 1% lows?
