DOOOOOD. big cores & LITTLE CORES

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

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.

Well if I were on the 10th or 11th gen I would definitely be skipping 1700 completely since I only upgrade every 8 years or so. However since I was previously on the 4th gen, and it was about 8 years later I opted for a 13th gen.

Currently on a z170 with a 7700k delided and OC'd with a 2080. Would like to upgrade maybe in 3-5 years depending if the products are worth it.

9900k and 3090 too , I play at 1440p 140fps every games I like (mostly mmo and arpgs). I also do 3D animation but that's enough for what I'm doing :)

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 on i5 2300(2nd gen) still skipping everything while my cpu last :)

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

I went from a 4690K to a 10600K. I'll be waiting for a similar jump in time.

I also was on a GTX 970 and I'm still on a GTX 1070. As soon as there's a date for GTA 6, I'll be doing a whole system update ready for then.

Still got my 4790k with a GTX 1660 which Im using as a NAS server and my 7700k with a 2070 which I gave to my daughter for her schooling. Went to 12900K last year and 4070Ti this February 2023. 4080 and 4090's price is way off the chart for me. 😅

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 still on the 9900k and waiting for 15 gen

On a 11700k. Got a decent deal on a 7800x3d so i am upgrading. Not super happy about the 11th gen performance

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. 😅

9900k over here,... still happy.

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 didn't. I though I would but presented with an irresistible deal, I couldn't pass it up lol

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.

Yeah, 1440p 165fps with a 4070ti.

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.
