7940x to 9900k worth it?

As title really, is it worth doing? work and gaming is about 50/50.

I have it paired with a 2080ti, i just felt like making a few changes as i know the 9900k has better single core performance for a lot of the adobe products.

Mainly using after effects, premiere, Photoshop, illustrator, some blander and a lot of rendering.

oh and 2 screens, 4k and 1440p for the gaming.

Thoughts?
 
I haven't actually. I know this chip runs hot and im just running the kraken x62.

Might go back to custom loop it's just the maintenance thats a pain.
 
No, it's perfectly fine to be fair. I just want thought i could sell the 7940x and get the 9900k and i might get better performance from the adobe suite.
I haven't found any proper benchmarks with both CPUs.

And to think the CPU cost me over £1000! I guess i just want the best possible performance for gaming and work ( i cant bring myself to buy 7980XE)
