Topic: Question regarding which CPU to buy:

Currently in Australia the 10600K, 10700K, and 10900K are going on regular discounts to get them out of stock in preparation for Rocket Lake release in March.

I am considering upgrading my 4790K @ 4.6Ghz system. Which for 4K content I can do:

50Hz
Motion Vector Precision = One Pixel
Motion Vector Grid = 28 px

I was wondering what type of performance can I expect going to 10600K, 10700K, 10900K (or 5600X, 5800X, 5900X):

For example HALF Pixel + at least 24px on 10600K & 5600X
Maybe 10700K & 5800X can do HALF Pixel + 12px
And 10900K & 5900X can do HALF Pixel + 4px

I am just giving examples for 4K, I don't know what to expect. Maybe I am out of date, and even 5600X and 10600K can achieve Half Pixel Precision + 4px Vector Grid for example?

My question is which CPU's are required to push SVP to the maximum with regards to Vector Grid (4px) and HALF Pixel precision for 4K content at 60FPS for example?

RAM already purchased, 4 x 8GB (32Gb Total) 3600Mhz CL16

GPU will be the same one I already have RTX 2070 Super, until later in the year I will upgrade to next iterations from nVidia or AMD. Right now Ray Tracing performance is still not good enough from both companies even on RTX 3000 Series (needs to be much better to sustain high FPS with RTX on), also waiting for nVidia Optical Flow 3.0 to see what improvements are coming and what GPU's are supported.

Re: Question regarding which CPU to buy:

Well, I think we might need more cores ... 12 or 16 from AMD. Personally I would go with 3950x / 5950x... Now, my 8700k @ 4.7 GHz (multicore enhacment enable) is reaching 90-100% usage when watching Aquamn 4K HDR with 59,940 fps. That's my settings:

Re: Question regarding which CPU to buy:

It's also a big jump in terms of multithreading performance when going from 8700K to 10900K or even the stronger 5900X. Not sure if a 5950X is necessary, that might be an overkill, but I'm not sure.

Basically my question right now is; what CPU can push 4K HDR 60FPS with Vector Precision at HALF Pixel and Vector Grid at 4px (lowest possible value according to @Chainik)?
