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.
I wouldn’t get a 4080, the card is still so horrendously overpriced that if you’re in the market for one you might as well just get a 4090 and get actual flagship performance. You can even pair it with, like, a Ryzen 5 7600 or i5-13600K, because gaming really still doesn’t scale noticeably above the i5/R5 tier, and at that point it’s only, like, 300 bucks more overall.
Why this comment is downvoted is beyond me, it’s very accurate as far as GPU goes , the cpu recommendations however I would not follow.
Do you think the ASUS Dual RTX 4070 OC Edition for $589.99 is overpriced? Is the 4070 OC worth getting?
The 4070 is comparatively the best value 40 series card, but 3080 performance for $599 three years later is still pretty lackluster. I think the 7800 XT is a much better buy, albeit I’m not even sure I’d call that card good, and it’s the best one of this generation by a considerable margin.
Cool, thank you for your response!
That being said, it does depend on your location a little bit (in particular, if you’re in Europe and dealing with high energy prices, the 4070 might be a better choice for the considerably better efficiency.
The 4090 has never been more expensive lmao. Goes for almost $2000 on most store websites ☠️ The 4080 is the better option rn
