CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D
Mainboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI
GPU: Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC 24GB
I had to switch from the Ryzen 7 7800X3D because there is a huge shortage where I live, and it got to the point where it was €100 more than the Ryzen 9. I know I will have a slight performance hit if the game uses the non-3D V-Cache, but I prefer that to spending almost €150 more than the MSRP.
Little side question: Will the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the motherboard work in Arch? From what I could gather, the drivers for it should be in the latest kernel, but I’m not 100% sure.
Id have the exact same build if you did get a 7800x3d. Absolutely love it.
You won’t be disappointed even with 7900x3d.
as good as it can be
Well the 9800x3d exists and is better, but that’s also probably out of stock wherever you are.
The 7900x3d has 6 cores with extra cache vs the 8 of the 7800x3d
You may need to patch your kernel to get wireless working. I just turned mine off in the bios and have an external usb BT adapter.

normal ryzen 9 7900 costs less, delivers very similiar performance in gaming, and you can maybe use it for developnent too. x3d cards perform horribly in anything but gaming
