Should I get new gaming PC with intel ultra 9, or i9?

[Legata Flavia]

Im hardware potato, please help p.p

[Legata Flavia]

So far I found this one that looks good:

Gaming PC Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 5,7 GHz, Intel B860, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB, RAM 128 GB DDR5, SSD 4000 GB, no disc drive, WiFi, HDMI 2.1 a DisplayPort 2.1, 4× USB 3.2, 1× USB 2.0, typ skrine: Mini Tower, Windows 11 Home

But the real question is, can it run games smooth? Like Hearts of Iron, Snowrunner and so on p.p

[XxzodazZ]

I say yes,and buy me one too please:) Not my $$$ so I always say go for it Oh and any I9 is prob a good I9 wish I knew difference

waste of money for gaming....you are buying a workstation CPU that just is not needed and will never be fully used....

monitor resolution will tell you the GPU you want and the GPU will dictate the CPU needed to not bottleneck

I play at 1920x1080x60 p.p

Kinda old-school, but I dont need more q.q I want the RTX 5080 16 GB tho, so I dont need to buy new pc for next 4-5 years q.q

Would just get Ryzen 7 9800X3D and B850 board if you want gaming PC instead Core Ultra that has nothing over this in gaming.

It says that R7 is slower than u9 q.q

Userbenchmark is garbage, it measures overall performance not gaming performance specifically.

Was explained to by distributor as adding Super to the GPU there are supposed to be more streamlined.

Reading they are Ultra from being Meteor chipset.

With how ITX mini has become possible and funny how they ITX gpu remind of AGP
the CPU chipsets don't get a smaller spot on the MB they get a more intensely packed onboard GPU. Since most don't use CPU as graphics having an Ultra is for those who want then smaller tote'ble system to pack more punch as for a libraries or cubicles.

1080 screen at what size? ready for the 110 inch version yet?
Graphene the material that keeps monitors cool without needing fans is a thing now.

How about the combo:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 5,2 GHz
MTB: AMD B650
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB

B650 is older generation chipset, would need BIOS update. Better to go with B850.
Also RTX 5080 is massive overkill for 1080p and rather expensive. Would just use RX 9070 XT and get nice 1440p monitor.
Something like this:

As a comparison I can run Snowrunner on ultra settings on 4K at 60FPS with a i513500 (about 20% utilisation) and a RTX 3070 (about 85%+ utilisation and 75c). However, I turn it down to high settings mostly.

ok you crazy....first with this type of money at play you should be looking at 1440p at 165hz at a MINIMUM !!!....i would go with a 9700x CPU on a 870x motherboard with 32gb of memory and a 5070ti 16gb or a 9700xt.....since 32inch 1440p 165hz monitors are only 200 US this should be in the budget....on storage get a tiny 512gb M.2 for the OS and then a pair of 2tb gen4 M.2s for games........gen 3 is fine for the OS drive

go cheaper on the CPU now and get a better motherboard....you may not even need or want to upgrade from the 9700x cpu .....(this really all depends on what you can get in your market)....better motherboard means simple CPU upgrade if you do want it later....

9800x3d crippled on a B650 with a 5080 is just over kill for 1080p.....my list would let you game for at least 5 years without issue and even then still be in the 70 to 80 frames a second with a few settings turned down at the 5 years mark....plus you save some money

good combo. you can upgrade for some longer time and this is good.
i have an idea: maybe try AM4 hardware like:
ryzen 5700x3d
a decent mobo (from 50€ to more if you want)
32gb (2x16gb) DDR 4 RAM
and a desired gfx board, like lets say 5070 ti nvidia.
the problem is: no more upgrades, but the machine would be able to show up your games at 1920x1080/60hz. and the machine is windows 11 ready.
so what! do or dont.
all i wanted to say.
cu.

You need to start with the monitor and work your way back.
And then get a systems builder to build it as off-the-shelf usually have some weakness e.g. budget mobo or old case design.

get a 1440p monitor 1080p is old
