Hello. I'll keep it simple
I am planning to do moderate gaming and moderate - heavy productivity workload especially with rendering, simultaneously streaming, and (video) editing. As such, I am eyeing the 7950x3d and have a few questions about it as all this talk about setting it up honestly seems daunting VS the simplicity of (from what I heard and understand) the one-and-done setup with the 7800x3d.
For the 7950x3d
- Do I *NEED* process lasso for it?
- Would just buying the CPU, installing it, and setting windows to high-performance work?
- If I just follow these steps by AMD themselves https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/how-to-set-up-your-system-with-a-new-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-or/ba-p/589464, would that suffice?
- Just confirming this as I am honestly confused with the amount of information around. So if I game on my first monitor using the 8 cores of the 1st CCD, I can run a productivity process as well with the other cores as needed and it would NOT be parked? This is mostly what I'll be doing
- For setting my expectations as well, for current 7950x3d users, what has been your overall experience with this CPU? Has it been a slog to setup? What issues did you guys face? What should I prepare myself to face if ever?
For the 7800x3d
- Would the 7800x3d be enough for both gaming and productivity? Especially with my question 4 for the 7950x3d
If it helps with answering the questions, I have the 7900XTX with 32gb of 6000mhz cl30 Ram
Thank you!
Is it still worth installing the chipset drivers?
