Does PoE greatly benefit from a CPU's 3D V-Cache?

Just watched your comparision video with the i5. Can you please let us know your
experience with the 9800x3d. I'm also on the fence with a 13700k, not sure if I should swap prior to poe 2.

I'm not getting a 9800X3D. It's sold out everywhere and getting more expensive by the day. I bought a 7600X3D instead.

And what do you mean you are on the fence with a 13700K? Yours broken?

I have the 9800x3d. Performance is significantly better than my old 5800x3d, but I'm still CPU limited near constantly in PoE in endgame juiced mapping.

In other words, the 9800x3d is great, but nowhere near powerful enough to run PoE to perfection.

Please tell us the rest of your system and what settings you are running at.

For the record, if your FPS isn't capped, you will be CPU limited if you have a powerful enough GPU. Highly depends on how many calculations the engine is forced to do.

I have a set of pre-recorded benchmark footage with the i5-12400 and will compare it when I get my 7600X3D. To be fair, though, it's a $130 CPU and I basically tortured it. The results were actually acceptable.
