How should a GPU be paired with Ryzen 7 7800X3D for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K gaming?

  The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 8 cores and 16 threads on Zen 4, AM5 platform, 4.2GHz base and 5.0GHz boost, 96MB L3, 120W TDP, launched April 2023. X3D's value shows most at high-refresh 1080p and in CPU-sensitive titles; at 1440p or 4K, GPU and VRAM usually limit first.

  Pairing: a mid-range card fully uses the 96MB cache at high-refresh 1080p esports; at 1440p go upper-mid; at 4K spend on the GPU. It remains the value benchmark for high-refresh 1080p, especially after price drops; judge gaps to cheaper models on matched GPU and settings tests, not marketing charts.
