For 1440p, Would you rather get x3d CPU but slower GPU, vs non-x3d but faster GPU?
I am building a mini PC based on minisforum motherboards. I do have 2x32GB 5600mhz gaming sodimm rams just waiting to be built.
1. Monitor 1440p 170hz Mini-Led.
2. GPU either used 3080/4070ti, or 5070/9070 or 4070 Ti Super used.
3. Mostly for blender, and AAA gaming with bells and whistles turned on, targetting 60-70FPS range with PT/RT.
There are two options:
* 8945HX: \~\*\*64 MB L3 cache, 16C/32T ,120W(\*\*Ryzen 9 7950X desktop equlivient) **440€**
* 7945HX3D: \~**128 MB effective L3 3d v cache, 16C/32T , 120W** (Ryzen 9 7950X3D equlivient) **680€**
So 7945HX3D is about **54% more expensive.** X3D makes sense on paper because the board officially supports slower RAM, where extra cache can help. However, users report that this board can run memory at **6000 MT/s**.
Since my Kingston Fury SO-DIMMs are factory-rated at 5600 MT/s, I’m confident they can run 6000 MT/s stably, which reduces the need for X3D.
So what would you do? Would you rather pay 54% more for x3d variant, or save that cost and get a better GPU instead that is roughly 25-30% faster at 1440p.
Thanks.
