I'm trying to decide between two setups for gaming: one is the 5070 Ti paired with the 9800X3D, and the other is the 5080 with the 7800X3D. The price difference is around $300. I've heard that the 5070 Ti combo might provide better 1% lows in performance. Can someone confirm if the 5070 Ti combo is the better buy?

I’d go for the 5070 Ti with the 9800X3D. The performance difference between the GPUs is about 15%, so you’re definitely getting more bang for your buck with the 5070 Ti setup. Plus, the 9800X3D has its advantages over the 7800X3D, especially at lower resolutions. It just feels like the better deal overall!
The 5080 might be more powerful, but honestly, for the price difference, the 5070 Ti is a smarter choice for most people unless you’re running ultra settings all the time. With the right setup, the 9800X3D can really hold its own!
True! If you’re gaming on 2K, the 1-2% FPS difference can often be negligible in real-world scenarios, especially with how games optimize now.
Yeah, at lower resolutions, the 9800X3D really shines, but keep in mind that the difference in CPU performance isn't gigantic. You probably won’t notice much at 1440p or 4K.
