cpu swap, or just use the old one

graysonheadley

so i have 2 pc's, one is a rtx 3080 paired with a i9-12900k, the computer im upgrading will have a 4060ti(i know its not the most valiant of the 40 series but i got an amazing deal) paired with a i7-14700k, but somethings been scratching the back of my mind, wouldn't it make more sense to put the 14th series into my main computer and put the 12th series into my 2nd pc? i wanna hear yalls opinions!

Greetings,

I do apologize for the delay in response. Benchmarks would show that the 14700K outperforms the 12900K by a bit, and the 3080 would outperform a 4060 Ti. So for the best performance, it would the 14700K and 3080 together. Here are some benchmark results you can review from other users with these parts:
