Ryzen 7 9700X vs R7 5700X3D: Is 3D V Cache the Key to Better Performance?

[@FINNdeischgut]

Even the 3D cache cannot bridge the gap of 2 generations and a significantly higher clock speed, but the cache is still definitely the key to gaming performance to a certain extent. The faster the CPU and the slower the RAM, the greater the difference, because the CPU can simply work much faster and more freely with more fast cache, instead of having to wait for data frequently. However, increasing the cache only brings a performance gain to a certain extent. If the cache is too big or the CPU is too slow, there will be no benefit in increasing the cache even further, because in this case the cache is no longer the bottleneck.

in Europe the price is like $200 vs $400 plus of course the cost of other parts for going from AM4 to AM5 so with decent mobo, ram, pcie4 nvme it can easily be $1000

Did you run the 9700X as standard? Or did you overclock/boost in anyway?

Hello, I have 5700x3d. Do you think 5700x3d and 4070ti super will bottleneck? Is there a need to upgrade to 9700x?

[@hardwaretest2552]

Of course, you need to upgrade . Performance will increase significantly

[@foxx8x]

No, you don't NEED to..its 4070 ti super not a 4090. The perf difference with that won't be worth it unless u play at 1080p low settings
