AMD Ryzen 7 7700X: What Real Users Actually Think

A product that should have been 300$ and compete with the 12600K/13600K. How AMD can charge 400$ for 8C/16T when Intel is offering 6+8C/20T at 320$ and 8+8C/24T at 420$ is beyond me.

.... What? It's among the fastest non-X3D CPUs.

Wherever you're reading that the 7700X is outdated, you can pretty much disregard that as a reliable source of information.

I got the 7700x and it performs great in cinebench but the integrated graphics are horrific as well as the drivers for the graphics. Can't wait to get my GPU to replace it.

Bruh people here are gaming with 10 years old cpu, what are you talking about?

7700x doesn't offer good value. I waited until the benchmarks came out and then went and bought a 12700k and I just bought a 4090 last week. I was able to keep my DDR4 by upgrading to the 12700k and most benchmarks show that there is no change in 4k gaming performance and the 12700k is better in a lot of productivity tasks.

Brother, what the hell are you talking about? It's a 1 generation old CPU, and the newest gen was only a small jump on performance. Don't worry about it.

You should also consider the TDP so longterm you save some bucks because the 9700X is consuming half the power over the 7700X.

I snagged the 7700x last time it kissed this price, should arrive tomorrow! Was going to get the 7600, but was also going to get space marine 2, so this was an easy choice for me.

I'm using a 7600 still and I haven't seen a reason to upgrade, so I'd recommend the 9600x if you aren't a total frame chaser.

I got a 7800x3d for $430 — way too much so returned it for the 7700x to get the monster hunter promo. My 7700x only gets to like 70c on my Arctic AIO, it's fire.

They're both valid. I'd probably go with the 9700x. While it's only about 2% faster, for a 6% price increase. But if you look at the overall system cost $20 for 2% more is pretty good.

$210 is a great price for the 7700X and will handle 99% of gamers.

7700x is a great cpu. Can play any modern game

the 9700x draws less power tho, 65w vs 105 for the 7700x if that makes a difference to you

I mean, my 5700X can still play pretty much all the modern games, I would expect the 7700X which is more powerful than my 5700X would play games even better. Not sure why you're concerned about the 7700X.

7700X is regularly equal or better than the 5800X3D it will be perfectly fine for gaming. I had a 5600(non X) with 6950xt and it was fine with Helldivers 2 still +100fps 1440p medium-high settings.

I got a 7700x over the summer, paired it with a 9070 XT. This was because the 7800x3D was still real pricey, and the difference would have been a few FPS according to what I could find online. But I am happy with it. My standard is 60fps or better, and if it can do that while everything is dialed up and looking spiffy, I'm a happy camper.

I've just assembled my build with a 7700x paired with a 7900xtx. Monster of a PC.

Well, I bought the bullet, and it'll be here Friday, upgrading from an I5-8400.

9600x is a great value really.. especially if playing mostly 1440p that's what I'd choose. I have 9700x, but actually I'm thinking a second pc with 9600x makes a lot of sense to me.

Almost no difference between 7700X and 9700X at 1440p gaming.

it's one of the best value CPUs per FPS currently

Yeah the 7700x is a totally fine chip and is more than viable for modern gaming. Most people don't think about it though since they either get the 7600 or the 7800x3d.

Performance wise yes they're simply beasts but platform price is just makes lower end cpus not worthy at all. If you already have AM4 then it's even harder to suggest. You need POWER go for 7900x/7950x.

The 7700x is more of a productivity CPU. For gaming the 7600(x) is close enough in performance making the extra cost not worth it.

Owner of a 7700x. Paired with a 7900xt and it holds up to everything. I even run cyberpunk 4k and it's great.

Really happy with my 7700X, won the silicon lottery as well since it runs at a stable -30 PBO curve

The real world difference between the 7700X and 7800X3D is 10-15%. I own a 7700X, tuned with PBO though.

Just stuck one in an all white build for a customer. With a $100 AIO, it's running 6000c30 tightened Hynix A die and boosting to 5.55Ghz on 7x cores. Yields are pretty good now and most are boosting very well.

7700X is an extremely good price/performance option. Is it a generation old? Yes. Is it a bad and outdated cpu? Not by a long shot. There are people who think any cpu designation that doesn't contain 'X3D' will make even solitaire painfully slow. The reality is that even a i5-13400F is more than enough CPU to keep a RTX 5070 busy.

7700x is a lovely CPU, especially when you find it for a good deal. Even at MSRP its still a great CPU.

My brother has a 7700x and I have a 9800x3d and the performance differences between our PCs is basically negligible

It's one generation behind, replaced by the 9700X that's a whooping 5% faster. So no it's not even remotely outdated!

There's zeros issues with that cpu I also have the 7700x and 4070ti super and have zero issues playing all the new games

I bought this in December one of the greatest and affordable chips

I have a 7700X paired with a 3070Ti. Breezes through everything I need it to do.

I own the non-x 7700 and it is a monster. You'll be fine with the x variant.

It'll run games well, but the R5 7600 or R7 7800X3D offered more value. The 7700/X to only be about 10% faster when it comes to gaming versus the 7600 at 40% more cost.

Generally speaking the 7700X has a very strange price point. It is really expensive and very close in price to the 7800 X3D which is the best gaming CPU rn and offers much better performance in gaming than the 7700X for not much more money. Most people either stoop down to a 7600 to save money or go all in for the 7800 X3D. You typically don't have people stop in the middle to get the 7700X.

The 9700x is not really an upgrade in performance. If you need more cpu performance for workstation stuff sell the 7700x and buy a 9900x, 9950x, 265k, or 285k.

I would use a 5090 with a 7700x without hesitation
