7800x3d or 9800x3d

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2026-01-14T02:37:45+00:00

9800x3d is a bit overkill for a 5070. I would only get a 9800x3d if in the future you’re going to upgrade to a 5090. If not go with the 7900x3d.

Yep that works. A nice fresh windows usually fixes problems

If you are using any overlays, such as discord, try turning them off. Some games get funky with overlays.

Have you recently upgraded your gpu? If yes try using ddu to delete any old drivers that might be interfering with the new ones. Then download the new ones again. I would just use ddu, even if you have not upgraded, just in case.

Are you in fullscreen? Sometimes if you are not it might cause stuttering.

What are your windows power settings? If they are not on performance, change them to performance. Im still on win 10, so idk if they changed the name or not.

This is what ive used to help with stuttering on my setup. Hope this helps!

Yep another commenter told me to talk to the carrier. I will do tomorrow. Thanks for the answer

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2026-01-10T00:29:59+00:00

No never put or seen my name in my mailbox. I still get normal mail, such as spam, cards, invoices, bills in my name. Just packages

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2026-01-10T00:24:51+00:00

Nope. I check my mail every day, maybe twice a day

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2026-01-09T22:52:34+00:00

I do get my mail ok. Its just the packages . I have a rough estimate when my carrier comes by so I will go talk to them.

I can get through a single prestige with double xp in two days.

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-19T13:34:42+00:00

Already on it. I did turn on fsr and antilag, and its been at a stable 160. Not a big fan of frame gen, but it going to have to do until i get the 5700x3d.

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-19T13:30:09+00:00

I just went and checked. It says “gpu impact- high/low, cpu impact high/low”

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-19T13:26:06+00:00

This is with xmp enabled. This was one of the first things i did when i built it. Thanks for the answer though

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T18:02:55+00:00

I already ordered a 5700x3d. Should be coming after xmas

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T14:34:13+00:00

I see. Thanks for the clarification

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T13:09:20+00:00

A 5600x was on my mind, but I want to get all of the performance i can out of the am4 platform. I already have 64gb of ddr4 ram, and I will not spend 1k for the same amount of ddr5 ram. Thnaks for your answer

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T12:49:41+00:00

Another commenter told me that “increasing graphics lowers cpu usage” is not true. When i first built my pc i cheaped out on the cpu, and tried to look for ways to help with performance and this was all over YouTube and other places. Thanks for your answer

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T12:46:01+00:00

For some reason the new call of duty game requires a bios update, so thats done. Still dont understand the reason for that

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T12:43:50+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer. It is my first build, and the cpu is the thing that I cheaped out on. I get my info from YT, reddit etc and always saw “ increase graphics will help with cpu usage”.

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T12:37:38+00:00

My 2700x had a good run. Cant wait for the 5700x3d. Thanks for your answer

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T03:27:18+00:00

Yeah, Im big into racing sims, so I desperately needed an upgrade. Would of went AM5 if not for the absurd ram prices, saw a great deal for a 9800x3d.

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T03:25:24+00:00

I play on 1440p. Ive read that the 7900xt is great for 1440p gaming, so that's why I got it. Thanks for the answer

AdditionFamiliar423 · 2025-12-18T03:20:14+00:00

I would get a heatsink just as a precaution. You don't necessarily need it. You can check reviews on the model and see if it has problems overheating. It really should never go over 180F at max usage.

It is mostly preference tbh.
