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?

    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.

    I’m coming from a 9700k and have just purchased a 14700k. It’s in a box with all the other bits ready to be put together.

    I usually aim for 5-6 years from a system and my current system is just over 5.

    Felt like the right time to make the move.

    I’ve been sticking with 3rd gen processors for a long time, hopefully I’ll get a huge upgrade in 2024

    If you not having application performance issues related to your CPU then hold off until you are

    Thats basically the correct way to look at it.

    We run a i7 6700/ 1050 4GB and a i3-6100/RTX 570 4GB. I just got a 7700k in the mail to replace the i3. I’m planning on getting a 15th Gen i3 and upgrading to the i9 five or so years later. We mostly play 7D2D, Civ VI, and Icarus.

    I am more than happy on my non-K i7-8700 with an RTX3070. I am not sure what worthy games I am missing, playing in 1440p. Before that I had an overclocked i5-2500K , 2011-early 2018, and it only started to show age because it wasn’t equipped with hyper threading. I think people vastly overestimate the importance of CPUs in gaming.

    I am typing this post on my 2500K, and that is still my “fastest” desktop PC. :o

    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’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. 😅
