How should a GPU be paired with Core i9 13900K for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K gaming?

  The Core i9 13900K is 24 cores and 32 threads (8 performance + 16 efficiency) on Raptor Lake, LGA1700, 3.0GHz base and 5.8GHz max turbo, 36MB L3, 253W TDP, launched Q4 2022. Solid at 1080p high refresh, even at 1440p, GPU-bound at 4K — and its gaming gap to the 14900K is basically nil.

  Pair the GPU by the monitor. Its worth lives in 24-core productivity, not frames — comparing it to the 9800X3D in games is comparing the wrong things; versus cheaper parts like the 14600K, average frame gaps above 1440p are small, and productivity loads are where the difference shows.
