I am thinking about getting a pc set up with a 4080 and one of the two processors. Which one would be better for gaming purposes?
Intel Core i9-13900F or Intel Core i7-14700KF.
Not that it matters that much but the PC will also have 32 Gb of ram and a 1 tb ssd.
For gaming, go for a R7 7800X3D. Not only is it gonna give you both more average and 1% low FPS, it does that consuming up to +100W less.
Lies.
My 14700kf peaks at 230W for cinebench 2023, gaming it I don’t really above 70w (non esports titles admittedly). Is the power draw that high?
Yeah, just check the tests, HUB includes per application/game power consumption which is nice as most reviewers only give power consumption on stress tests. The power efficiency is pretty poor rn.
if we wanted frame dips we would be on the amd reddits. thanks but no thanks
