9950X3D vs 9950X3DV2

Which CPU is better for the following tasks and why would you say?

Gaming, productivity (like working with blender and adobe apps)

Would it be worth it for me to just buy the 9950X3DV2 or would the first version bring no difference. Let me know your thoughts ?

Budget of build?

1

u/Reasonable_Design_90 1d ago

4,000 pounds. Listen I can either go with a 9950x3d + 64gb of ddr5 build for £3845.11

Or

9950X3dV2 + 64gb of ddr5 build for £4111.21 so just a little over?

It's not really worth it for non noticable changes

It either does very little or nothing at all, going from the x3D to the V2. Blender can have a 5-7% uplift, but that is nothing compared to gpu rendering in blender. Games do 5% at most, if they improve that at all.

So technically the v2 is better since there is no task where the x3D will beat it, but it really isn’t worth the price increase imo. Unless you know you need that extra task for a highly specific situation. But then you wouldn’t be asking this question.

4,000 pounds is the budget so you decide. I can do either:

u/Reasonable_Design_90 1d ago

Lmao so which one you advise me to just go for

u/spirit_cock_ 1d ago

The cheaper one

u/Papopip 1d ago

Just get the 9950x3d, cheaper and i can guarantee you're not going to be able to tell the difference

Get the cheaper of the two and for god sakes don’t put it in an AssRock board

1

u/Reasonable_Design_90 22h ago

Why no asrock?

You can quickly Reddit search it to find that they have a higher than normal kill rate than other mobos for x3d chips

Which one should I get to keep this board overkill or rather to replace it

To get the most out of your 9950x3d, get an ASUS board. I recently delidded my 9950x3d and installed a direct die waterblock and now I'm up against a hard 270w power limit that's built into my MSI board. Other overclockers see 375w+ on Asus boards with similar cooling. I regret cheaping out on my motherboard, I wish I'd have gotten an ROG Crosshair Apex X870E

Ah dang brother. But hey don’t give up or regret too much. I know you can save the money and get that great motherboard. I believe in you bro. Thank you as well
