Hey everyone, I'm curious if the RTX 4070 Super can keep pace with the 9800X3D when it comes to gaming performance. I've heard mixed opinions and would love to know what you all think!

You'd probably be hard-pressed to notice a significant difference between the 9600X and the 9800X3D in most situations. A modern CPU like the 9800X3D has solid single-threaded performance and enough threads for gaming. If you're planning to spend more, I'd recommend investing that cash in GPU rather than CPU.
Absolutely, yes! The 4070 Super should handle games like a champ. But keep in mind, when it comes to gaming performance, the GPU usually has more impact than the CPU, especially with something like the 9800X3D.
Actually, it might be better to think about it the other way around. Generally, you'll want your GPU to be the stronger component in most games, and in that case, the 9800X3D should be able to keep up with a 4070 Super just fine.
That's fair! I’m actually porting over the 4070 Super from my current setup, so I thought I’d indulge a bit with the CPU for my video editing and game design projects. Just trying to find a good balance!
