Nah, the 3090 Ti draws more. I’m only seeing up to 350w in most games at 4K max settings. The highest I have seen is Cyberpunk pulling 400w with RT maxed out at 4K. This is with a 5.4-5.6GHz 7700X.

As long as you don’t pair it with a 4090, you’ll be fine.

Well, I finally got my motherboard...Same energy?

I don't want to derail this thread too much, but I've compiled my results. Some games see some impressive gains - CP2077 (No RT), RB6 Extraction, and WDL (No RT) Decent gains just from using some cheap vipers B-Die. Of course nobody should be using an 2600X with a 3090 :) - Still, the test shows...

Awesome! Thanks for doing this. Doesn't seem there's much of a gain going from 5Ghz to 5.7Ghz in this game.

Funny you mention this as I’m currently testing a 2600X with an RTX 3090. Mostly testing the effect of memory latency when CPU bottlenecked. Going from 3200 CL16 to 3533 CL14 I’m seeing on AVG around a 10% increase in performance at 1080p. Obviously those numbers would dwindle at the resolution...

I’m a 4K gamer as well so I doubt the 7700X will make a huge difference, but I’d be curious to see you run an in game benchmark at 1080p & 1440p ultra settlings. Stock vs. 5500 MHz and 5700 MHz. There’s a shadow of the Tomb raider demo on steam you can use. You could also use the CP2077 built...

Awesome. Can you show us perf scaling in games with the 7700X stock and overclocked? I’m assuming running at 5.7GHz you’re way ahead of your 12900K?

Same thing TPU said: In gaming, Zen 4 can also deliver. At 1080p, the 7700X is the fastest Zen 4 processor for gaming—yes, even faster than the 7950X. The underlying reason is that the 7900X and 7950X use a dual-CCD design, where the processor's computation ability is spread across two silicon...

I have an ASUS X670E-E Gaming WiFi on order, but Amazon is saying it won’t ship until November. I can grab the AsRock X670E Taichi Carrara today….what do you guys think? I’m interested in tweaking the memory and I’ve heard AsRock might not be the greatest in that case.

I’m aiming for 5.5GHz as well. I’m new to current AMD CPUs, so what exactly did you do to get there? I also purchased a kit of CL32 6400 MT/s memory. I know the sweet spot is 6000 but I wanted to see if there’s any gains if I push it.

I caved in as well. Time to replace my 8700K with a 7700X system.
