@@CraftComputing That statement is a little too broad. Not all new PCs use dedicated GPUs. At least partially due to economics, legions of mini-pcs are flying off the shelves now and becoming inexpensive gaming PCs that game well at 1080p. An AMD Ryzen 7 5800H for example is "good enough" for many people for most games, especially older titles and MMORPGs, in a not so great economy. The number of sales of 1080p monitors and televisions still being sold is also an indicator that like it or not, 1080p isn't going anywhere as a standard for some time. Now, admittedly for a dedicated PC build with a nice modern GPU, preferably one that has power connectors that don't melt and catch on fire, something better than 1080p would be a good choice.

Thank you for the review! Minor nitpick: I would have loved to see a third configuration, where the savings from not taking the X3D would have gone towards a better GPU, to show (what I expect to be) a much larger impact on performance in the given tests. For example 9700X+4070tis vs 9800X3D+4070tis vs 9700X+4080s. Or maybe drop the initial GPU level to make the budgets more even: For example 9700X+4070s (better cost) vs 9800X3D+4070s (better CPU) vs 9700X+4070tis (better GPU). It would (at least that's what I expect) show much better that upgrading the GPU makes more sense than the CPU when looking for the best bang for buck for the current games (or not, that would be the point of testing a third configuration)

Sometimes hardware and software do not mix well on new production CPU's. It takes time to optimize operating systems and gaming to perform as they should. Sometimes UEFI bios need new tweaks rewrites to do thier job. GPU's can be painful to setup especially on Linux systems. On my Archlinux 8 and 16 core systems I have been running my Windows GOG games in bottles using the Flatpak installs. I also install bottles from git repositories and compiled it, and achieved over 35 plus hours of flawless game play with Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls Skyrim. It takes time to get the software dependencies right. If you run a rolling Linux release once your software is setup I would turn off the system updates if your running unstable versions (I run linux-lts versions). Nvidia Linux driver updates have been nothing short of phenomenal on Archlinux. Updates this kind of success in earlier times was not always so. I stuck with Linux over many many years and know the ins and outs of system recovery.

So in terms of making hardware purchasing decisions today, most people would be looking at higher resolutions. The fact you can´t find 1080p monitors in your area with the display technology you are looking for kind of tell you everything you need to know. 1080p is becoming legacy technology in terms of what manufacturers do.

@@LandsOfDespair Because that´s the trend. You just have to take a look at the % of users gaming at 1080p now, and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago. 1080p is the cheapest option now, just like prior resolutions were in the past. You can´t find any option manufactured nowadays with lower resolution than 1080p, and when these things happened in the past that signaled the begining of the end for those resolutions. Hence my take of 1080p being on their way out. Also, as you pointed yourself, manufacturers are not implementing their state of the art technologies for 1080p. You can´t find the last display technology in 1080p displays. They use very reliable and very tested technology that due to economies of scale has become cheaper and cheaper, because that´s what 1080p has become on the market, the super budget option. Again, this signals that this resolution is on it´s way out. You mention inflation and the economy, but monitors have never been as cheap as nowadays. You can find 4k displays for less than $200, and gaming 1440p for less than $200. With the options for upscaling method that we have today a decent number of fps for non competitive fps games it´s easily doable at higher resolutions than 1080p, that´s not to say that graphical settings have suddenly stopped impacting framerates. The fact that it´s used less and less everyday based on the same statistics you mentioned don´t leave a lot of room for discusion. It´s just a fact, it´s going down which means it´s being bought less and less. You can claim that it´s going to take a while to see those statistics about the 1080p resolution actually used in gaming to drop to negligible values, but my point always was that when buying today, 1080p, for a gamer, is on it´s way out.

This is how you actually review a CPU and talk about real world performance. Most reviews only focus on gaming and only show the high end instead of what most people can actually afford. Thanks Jeff for taking your own criticism about how reviewers were doing a bad job (after the LTT and GN drama). Between you and Wendell at L1T, I know that you both will give us the truth, straight and how real world usage looks. 🎉

LTT actually addressed 'daily driven' results in their review today. Highly recommend you give that review a watch as well.

The downside is it's expensive and consumes a little bit more power than the 7800X3D
