I’m still on a 10700k and skipped the whole Alderlake / Rapterlake / Raptorlake Refresh LGA 1700 platform. Just wondering how many Intel users out there also completely skipped the current platform and are waiting on what’s next in 2024.

I mostly just game at 4K 60fps and so far for the games I play my system is still holding up really well (paired with my rtx 3090). How about you guys?

    I upgraded from 8700k and I don’t want to upgrade but my pc was already asking for performance in my current work. I felt like I’m already losing money because of it so I upgraded to something I can replace in a year or two (13700 paired with b760) both are cheap and way faster. I practically saved 60% of time vs my old system. Less of a headache and more free time. Know your reasons for upgrading.

    Yeah, me. I’m on a 10500 and is planning to go to a 7800x3d/15700/AMD’s new 8000 series cpus. Depends which one gives the best bang for the buck. This 10500 has served me well, and can give a solid 140fps on 1080p.

    I had 10700, 10850 and then 12600 and 12600 was much much better than even 10850, it noticeable even in windows.

    Obviously yes. Heck, this subreddit still sees a lot of people on 4th-8th gen asking for upgrade advice.

    I’m using a I-9900K with 24 gigs of RAM which is running a donated gtx1070 because I had my two 1080p eyes thrown out the window with the rest of my PC when my last landlord broke into my unit while I was out and through all my stuff out the window the day after I paid him rent. The police weren’t able to prove that he did it although he suffered from PTSD as a ex veteran. I don’t even know how I would feel about charging him with it anyways. It runs at works and I’ll be upgrading my system soon. The kicker to the story is that I had just replaced my previously stolen i7 8700k paired with two GTX 980 TI golden editions. I spent a couple thousand dollars on computer parts that were either stolen or destroyed by others. I don’t know if I can justify spending another three to five grand on another rig just so I can play the latest update of Minecraft. 😅

    Yep, still a 9900k here, paired with a 3090 like yours and having similar results. Easy 1440 at 100+ fps in pretty much everything. My index pulls 100+ fps for me in iRacing, no need to upgrade at this point.

    I was on Westmere with an X5670. So, I skipped Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, and Rocket Lake. I now have a i9 12900k.

    I am on 10850k and 4080… looking to get 7800x3d, but could wait until next gen arrives… then buy 7800x3d, skip that gen, then buy the next one.

    i9-9900K 5.1/4.8 + super tuned 32gb 4266c16 33ns latency. Will slap 99% of base zen3 setups in games and overall snappiness. Good enough for years to come.

    Yeah I did skip some gens, got a 3rd gen i5 3570k geezer that has been holding back my 3060ti for 3y already, had a 660ti before that… well cant complain much as I play mostly story driven games and some non competitive fps and hes been holding his ground at 1080p 60fps even in stalkers gamma modpack.
