Question 1

Why the high price, everywhere else its the normal price of 449?

Accepted Answer

LIMITED!?  In what way is it limited???  Some scalper celebrity sign it?  It's a regular production item AMD will be selling for years.  Just like the 5800x3d.
Seller just a scalper buying things it knows nothing about --heard "Gaming" and "released today" and saw $$$.

It's funny though on one hand, and I haven't been able to stop laughing because had this scalper known anything about these it'd have known that it's the third chip in line, 3rd from the flagship (think 4070 vs 40080 vs 4090; scalpers know about those, right?) but on the other it's sad, people waited for this chip BECAUSE it's $449!  All scalpers do is stand in the way and delay someone that could use it.  Nobody is going to pay $1000 for a desktop CPU.

I got my 7950x3d before the slime could react and it was twice the cores for half the price of this.  Next big drop I'm gonna buy out the stock and resell 'em for cost.  This has to end.  This is disgusting.

Yeah, I agree.  Calling Amazon to lodge a complaint about this seller.  I spend a LOT of money each year here for years and like to think my business is important enough to not have to put up with this every. single. time. a part comes out.

Thanks to trash like this I had to wait 4 months to get a 4090 but eventually got one for MSRP.  Refused to give in to these bottom feeders.

They need to tie the warranty to the original buyer for the first 6 months and no cash refunds.  That'd effectively put a stop to this.

Question 2

Is 7900x for $35 less a better buy than 7800x3d if i play at 2k and 4k resolution ?

Accepted Answer

Get the 3D if you don’t need the extra cores. I made this mistake last gen. Got the 5900x instead of the 5800x3D. If you just play games and don’t use it as a workstation, the 3D is worth it in price to performance. Best thing I can tell you is to look up benchmarks “7900x vs 7800x3D” to help make the choice for yourself. Happy gaming!

Question 3

Can i use this with a rtx 4080 on a 850w psu? i don't overclock.

Accepted Answer

The RTX 4080 and 7800x3D are both very efficient. 850w will be plenty.

Question 4

Worth it to upgrade from a 11900k? Playing on a 4k monitor.

Accepted Answer

Corresponding hardware Would be a huge factor. Depending on whether or not you’re upgrading a GPU or already have like it’s a high-level 30 series card like a 3080 TI or if you were looking at a 4090 especially 4090 then yeah you would be bottlenecked likely by your current processor. I mean the X3D chips for 2K and 4K gaming have proven themselves to be amazing.  Obviously, there’s already been affair about a maturation in the DDR, five memory kits in their . performance and compatibility of as well AMD has already committed to at least three generations with the newest generation of a M4 so you’d be looking at an upgrade path as well by that I guess if they stick to the current name is game 9000 series processor with the same motherboard and memory kit that you already have if you so choose. Now you probably want to look at upgrading to a PCIE 5.0 power supply and most likely be looking at a cooling solution upgrade as well. And really if you don’t have a more modern PCI agent for SSD like an 850 X from western digital or something like that or a fire Cuda you would probably want to consider that to make sure that you were taking advantage of all of those things course, you could peace meal these different components as you have additional money. One of the things I think it’s always really important to take into account two is that the value of your current items are always going to be continuing to decline so if you have the capital you can go ahead and post up your components and start selling them and as each one sells, you could take the money and then the difference on the next item to find a buyer and go ahead and buy it and ship out or deliver the item selling it on offer up or whatever else. I would say it’s absolutely phenomenal idea to go ahead and look at upgrading. You can look on YouTube for yourself to see the increases in performance especially if you’re considering one of the new 2023 monitors in the 2K or 4K space. The 4090 along with this CPU can actively play you know esports titles on 4K maintaining you know like 4 to 600 frames on a lot of games like overwatch valorant how many absolutely crushed his call of duty maintaining stable 180 to 240‘s if you’re into that game at all I mean And then when you’re talking about increases in performance along with like the use of the fake frame generation for like single player titles. Ignore all these other people then do your research. If you got the money I would say absolutely there’s possibly never been a better upgrade path if there has it’s probably when the nine series do you know GPUs in the tensors GPUs were coming out, but I would say overall man that the jumping improvement in technology, especially also productivity if that something that you’re looking at it, I mean, you just can’t beat it  and right now, since there’s just not as many issues with scalpers, and everything else like that, go for it
