Upgrade from 10900k to 9800X3D

[tekken3600]

Hi all.
I would like to upgrade the CPU of my RIG.

Currently, I have an Intel Core i9 10900k and a RTX 4090 GPU. I play games at 4K. Mostly I get 85-100 FPS in every AAA games everything is set at maximum settings. My goal is to reach 4K 120FPS.
My potentional candidate is an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
My question is, is it worth upgrading my CPU to the above mentioned one. Will I get 4K 120 FPS by buying this CPU?
Thank you for your answers in advance.

I would expect you get between 120 and 200FPS with that combo
but it depends on the games really

Really need to know what games you are playing. Some are more CPU intensive than others. I assume you've tested in your games what is slowing you down? Or are you just assuming it's the CPU?

I have tested a lot of games. For example, Oblivion Remastered clearly shows CPU bottleneck.

Save some money by going with the 7800x3D.

There’s not much difference on cost between 7800x 3d and 9800x3d and so does the performance. If the build is capable to handle power and you got money get 9800x3d otherwise 7800x 3d. You will have 100 FPS in most games at 4K with your 4090.

I'd prefer to skimp on the MB vs the CPU. I went with the 9800 a DDR5-6000 on a B850 (1 gen5 NVMe & 1 PCIE.) That way if I've got some extra cash to throw into my system I can get an x870 without replacing the more expensive component (CPU)

I went opposite, I had originally wanted a 9950x3d but they weren't available when I picked up my parts, so instead I have a X870 board now thinking I may upgrade the CPU in future once the next generation AMD CPU are out, and the core counts have increased as has performance.

Less work involved swapping CPU, I already did that in my last PC (3600xt to 5800x3d). Motherboard introduces compatibility concerns with ram.
Some of the features of X870 work better with dual ccd CPU so that is why I had an X870 all along. I could have got an B850 I guess but I didn't think to swap back. I might actually use the USB 4 slots one day.
