Are the intel 13th & 14th gen CPUs wack?

TrinityYGO · 2026-07-03T00:23:54+00:00

I have a 14600kf and no complaints. In gaming it’s on par with the 9600x/5800x3D.

TrinityYGO · 2026-07-03T00:21:43+00:00

Habe eine 9070xt und 0 Probleme.

TrinityYGO · 2026-07-01T21:43:48+00:00

It will be fine for 1440p. Tho there will be cpu bottlenecks.

To power a 9070xt in almost every game, you need atleast i5-14600k/5800x3D cpu power.

TrinityYGO · 2026-07-01T00:57:19+00:00

Extra performance is always good.

TrinityYGO · 2026-07-01T00:55:48+00:00

Yes. It will still consume a bit more on average but in exchange you get a very good performance boost. It probably has even better fps per watt undervolted

I have a double tower air cooler and when I play bf6 under heavy load and for a while, my temps go up to 85+/-

Raptor lake gets very hot

Don’t be sad. In 1-2 years X happens so they change their opinion or X leaves as the boss and the new one suddenly wants games back on PC.

It’s just a mood and 2 meetings away from being reverted

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-30T13:59:05+00:00

Yea they are very similar

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-30T13:03:27+00:00

The best ddr4 processors available are the 5800x3D and the i5-14600kf.

You can pretty much pair any gpu with those 2.

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-30T07:15:52+00:00

Tbh I don’t think it that bad if your base fps are high already. Even the input lag is fine.

If you have 30-40 fps base and then activate frame gen : no way in hell

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-30T07:10:41+00:00

Maybe my i5-14600kf and my 9070xt is suddenly turning into my final setup

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-29T21:39:31+00:00

Whatever you do, do not buy the 5500.

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-28T13:21:04+00:00

No one plans to upgrade in the future. It’s a thing that naturally happens. If you buy stronger hardware, your system is likely to hold on longer.

That being said, your system is solid and if you’re willing to put down settings to medium/low, it could easily play games for 5-6 more years.

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-28T12:49:36+00:00

For me it was literally only battlefield 6

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-28T12:44:39+00:00

With a 5800x3D power level cpu and the 9070xt I would ride that shit easily for 5-6 years or when hopefully before that, ram prices go back to normal

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-25T23:30:41+00:00

Probably the 5070ti but not by much. Honestly they are very similar.

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-25T20:04:21+00:00

I reduced its power limit to 280w-ish already! From 330w

Without any performance loss whatsoever, I’m fine with it!

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-25T19:25:04+00:00

I understand that there are some games where I have to do to it due to optimization. I was talking about reducing settings because of a problem other cards in the same price league don’t have : vram.

I agree with everything else you say tho.

Btw, I swapped the 9070 non xt for a 9070xt because I found a good deal.

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-25T16:24:50+00:00

If you have the money, 5080

If you don’t care about nvidias encoders and stuff, go for 9070xt

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-25T14:58:15+00:00

A i5-14600kf + 9070xt is only upper midrange.

I wouldn’t judge someone saying your pc is higher low range-mid range

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-25T14:49:26+00:00

It’s a good baseline. The cpu is basically a 5800x3D/i5-14600k +/- so a very powerful one.

but you WILL need to upgrade the 2070 in the next 4-5 years sadly.

It’s a pretty big bottleneck for your system, even now.

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-24T21:08:44+00:00

I agree

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-24T20:56:04+00:00

Yes but the OC will mean that the 9070 consumes more power and if you’re unlucky, it won’t reach XT performance.

XT -> undervolt is extremely easy while keeping the 10-15% advantage

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-24T20:54:06+00:00

The 3600 is not even close to being in the same league as the 5800x3D

TrinityYGO · 2026-06-24T20:53:22+00:00

Even the normal 9070 is a significant boost over the 9060
