Ryzen 9 3950X vs. OurCPU buying recommendationsfollow that pattern pretty consistently as well.
We also put out a poll,asking youabout this CPU choice and an overwhelming majority favored the 3950X.
That was 83% out of the 62K people that voted.
But we’ll admit, for a more scientific approach, the 10900K makes more sense to use here.
A really bad case for Ryzen can be seen with Microsoft’sFlight Simulator 2020.
Rainbow Six Siege results are interesting.
We do see a more significant difference at 1080p where the 3950X was 11% slower.
Then at 4K, both CPUs are able to maximize the performance of the RTX 3080.
That margin grows to 24% at 1080p.
The World War Z results slightly favor Intel.
Then at 4K we’re talking about a narrower 4% gap.
Again, that’s far from ideal, though we see no such performance limitation at 4K.
The 3950X was 8% slower at 1080p however.
Here’s the 14 game average.
We saw single-digit margins at 1440p in Death Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn and World War Z.
At least this is what we saw at 1080p with the RTX 2080 Ti.
That is very much inline with our own data.
We found the RTX 3080 to be on average 49% faster than the 2080.
Do we think it was a mistake to test with the Ryzen 9 3950X?
