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.

      You know what, you’re right in a way. I would honestly rather spend the extra €100 and get guaranteed results, especially since I want to water-cool and get as much performance out of that bad boy. Someone else mentioned the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, but that one is almost always out of stock, and even when it isn’t, it costs almost €700. Thank you for the links, though, in case I need them.

        I have a 7900 non-x3d and it works great for me

        If you’re focused on gaming there’s nothing better right now than AMDs 7/9800X3D

    The 7950X3D or 9800X3D are both faster (besides the 7800X3D you mentioned).

    GPU-wise this is obvious the best AMD has to offer, but an RTX 4090 is obviously faster still. With the typical caveats for NVIDIA on Linux.
