How long can I keep my 9800X3D for gaming before needing an upgrade?
Asked by

I recently purchased a 9800X3D along with a 5070 Ti, and I'm curious about how long I can expect this CPU to maintain good gaming performance. I'm wondering if I should plan on upgrading the GPU when the upcoming 6000 or 7000 series graphics cards are released, or if the 9800X3D will hold up longer than that.

If we're looking back at older CPUs, like the 5800X3D from three years ago or the 10900K from five years back, they still offer decent performance today. So, while it's hard to predict the exact future, you can use those benchmarks to set your expectations.
