Hi all,

With the release of the newer “KS” version of the i9-13900(KS) I assume this is now the top recommendation for X-particles performance?

Specifically, I am looking for the best active experience using ExplosiaFX and advection sims – and I will be pairing this w/ a 4090 GPU.


I realize the price and performance boost doesn’t seem to be bringing any huge gains over the previous 13900k, but just wanted to be sure.



Thanks!!!

If you aren't doing any fluid simulations, yep. But it's really not worth the uplift from a regular 13900K.

On the other hand, if you'll also be handling fluid simulations, the Ryzen 9 7950X is a better pick.
