CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D

Mainboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI

GPU: Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC 24GB

I had to switch from the Ryzen 7 7800X3D because there is a huge shortage where I live, and it got to the point where it was €100 more than the Ryzen 9. I know I will have a slight performance hit if the game uses the non-3D V-Cache, but I prefer that to spending almost €150 more than the MSRP.

Little side question: Will the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the motherboard work in Arch? From what I could gather, the drivers for it should be in the latest kernel, but I’m not 100% sure.

    Id have the exact same build if you did get a 7800x3d. Absolutely love it.

    You won’t be disappointed even with 7900x3d.

    as good as it can be

    Well the 9800x3d exists and is better, but that’s also probably out of stock wherever you are.

    normal ryzen 9 7900 costs less, delivers very similiar performance in gaming, and you can maybe use it for developnent too. x3d cards perform horribly in anything but gaming

      You know what, you’re right in a way. I would honestly rather spend the extra €100 and get guaranteed results, especially since I want to water-cool and get as much performance out of that bad boy. Someone else mentioned the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, but that one is almost always out of stock, and even when it isn’t, it costs almost €700. Thank you for the links, though, in case I need them.

        I have a 7900 non-x3d and it works great for me

        If you’re focused on gaming there’s nothing better right now than AMDs 7/9800X3D

    The 7950X3D or 9800X3D are both faster (besides the 7800X3D you mentioned).

    GPU-wise this is obvious the best AMD has to offer, but an RTX 4090 is obviously faster still. With the typical caveats for NVIDIA on Linux.
