I'm planning to upgrade my setup from an i7-10700k because I mainly play competitive esports FPS games, especially Battlefield 6 (BF6) at the lowest settings to maximize my fps. Do you think upgrading to a 9800x3d will provide a consistent frame rate of 200+ fps when paired with a 3070 Ti? Or do I need to also consider upgrading my GPU as well? In my situation, would a 9070 XT be a better option? I never play beyond 1080p. I saw a benchmark comparing the 9800x3d with a 3070 and I'm starting to wonder if those results were too good to be true.

The 9800x3d is a top-tier gaming CPU, so you should be pretty good for fps with that setup. The 9070 XT is decent too, but it might not be the best at keeping up. Personally, I run a 9800x3d with a 5090 at 4k and hit around 200 fps in BF6, so that combo works wonders! But remember, every setup is a bit different. If you're looking to boost your experience, definitely consider your GPU choice too, especially if you're looking at demanding scenarios.
Yeah, I'm eyeing the 5070 Ti, but it's more expensive here than the 9070 XT, which isn’t worth it for my gaming style.
