I'm currently using a 7700X with a 3060 GPU, primarily playing first-person shooters at 1080p. I'm considering whether it makes sense to upgrade to a 7600X3D and sell my 7700X. Would this be a good move for my gaming performance?

Honestly, it depends on what you can afford. If you have the budget for a higher-end option like the 9800X3D, I'd say go for it. However, if you're looking to save some cash, the 7600X3D is an excellent card for around $200 and will outperform your 7700X, especially in gaming scenarios.
If you're thinking about upgrading, I'd lean towards the 9800X3D since it's a more significant leap in performance. That said, consider that X3D chips mainly enhance 1% lows for smoother gameplay, not so much your peak FPS. If you're good with your current higher frame rates but struggling with lows during intense moments, the 7600X3D could help.
I've seen solid performance at 1080p but really need that boost in 1% lows too, especially when things get crazy, which is why I'm looking into the 7600X3D.
Exactly, if you're going to invest, might as well spring for the 9800X3D for those performance gains.
Upgrading to a 7600X3D sounds like a solid choice! It's a nice improvement, especially if you're focused on 1080p gaming.
I guess my average frame rates would remain about the same, but my 1% lows should improve quite a bit, right?
