Core i9 9900x vs 9900k

[andremelo90]

SLI is dead, they're not properly supporting it so it's a pointless investment.

As for the intel 9 series, i'd steer clear at this point in time. The new 10 series will require a new chipset and at the moment, AMD is outperforming them and better price vs performance.

Regarding the PCIE lanes, the 9900x is for the 2066 socket and they have more PCIE lanes by design. The GPUs will run at x16/x16. The 9900k is 1151 and when running muti card setup, will be x8/x8. Real world difference between x8 and x16 is probably 0.5fps.

3900x or 3950x - wouldnt touch intels stuff the now.
Both of those Zen2 chips perform withing a few % of the 9900 in games and thrash it in everything else.
