I'm looking for advice on the best processor to pair with an RTX 5070 Ti, specifically for achieving maximum performance in 4K gaming with high frame rates, while ensuring longevity and good multitasking capabilities. I want to avoid any 'fake' resolution enhancements like DLSS or frame generation. Price is not an issue for me; my main goal is top-notch gaming performance on Ultra settings, and I want to make sure I won't need to replace the processor anytime soon.

Honestly, at 4K without DLSS or frame generation, a chip like the 9600X is more than sufficient. It'll manage the fps output from the 5070 Ti without any issues.
I think you should consider at least a 9700X or higher, or go for something like the 7800X3D or 9800X3D for the best performance. They'll pair nicely with the 5070 Ti.
If you're after the absolute best, I’d suggest the AMD 9800X3D. It's a powerhouse that’ll handle 4K gaming really well. But if you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly that still performs decently, the 7600 or 9600 could work fine too, especially at 4K.
Not sure why you're opting for 4K but avoiding DLSS! If you're aiming for top performance, a 7600X or 9600X will do well, but if lower frame rates are a concern, look into an X3D chip like the 7800X3D or 9800X3D. The 7700X or 9700X might only be worth it if you also do productivity work since they don't significantly exceed the performance of the cheaper options.
In 4K gaming, the CPU isn't the most critical component. I'd recommend either the AMD 9800X3D or the best-value option, like the 7800X3D. The 5070 Ti is a solid card, but don’t expect it to run every latest AAA title in 4K on Ultra settings. It's challenging, even for more powerful GPUs.
