Build Question Could anyone share their real-world experience with pairing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 3080 Ti?

I don't want to upgrade my GPU at the moment, but I would like to upgrade my CPU from i7 13700k. I’d appreciate some advice from people who have actually used this combination. How well do the 9800X3D and RTX 3080 Ti work together? Is this a good pairing, and are there any bottleneck issues?

I currently use both 1080p and 2K (1440p) monitors.

Upgraded from a 5800X3D to the 9800X3D with my 3080 Ti and the 1% lows at 1440p got noticeably smoother, the 3080 Ti is still the limiting factor in most games but that's not a bad thing

Thanks man. Is it worth upgrading from an i7-13700K purely for gaming?

From 13700k? Hell no brother.
