Hi guys,

I’m running a ryzen 3800X with a EVGA 2080ti FTW3 on a 570X motherboard, my monitor is the Samsung CGR9 5120x1440p.

will grabbing the Ryzen 3950x give me any upgrade in gaming performance do you know?

I have done some research and to my knowledge I don’t think it will do much for me tbh but I want a few opinions as the monitor is new and I don’t know too much about widescreens.

thanks in advance guys.

You may get a small performance increase due to the higher clock speed and extra cores, but without looking at benchmark scores or FPS numbers it will likely be unnoticeable.

I have the same monitor running with a 3900x and a Radeon VII. Free sync 2 HDR on that monitor is bloody amazing.

it’s an amazing monitor, best bit of kit I have purchased in a long time.

It really is. It took me a fair few days to get used to it, was having some headaches initially due to the width and brightness of it. Lowered the brightness to 0 when not playing HDR games and browsing and all good now.

Don't think i could ever go back to a normal monitor now.

Nope, wait for 4000 series.
 
The Ryzen 4000 series will be the last on the AM4 socket and since you already have a 3800X, I would rather skip the 3950x and get a 12 or 16 core Ryzen 4000 instead.
 
Save your cash and put it towards the rtx 3080ti when it comes out later this year, this will give a Much bigger perf boost than any CPU.

If your games are suffering from a low framerate, then there's something fundamentally wrong with your computer. A 3800x shouldn't be struggling.

More cores at the same speed won't give you extra performance in games. What it will do, is let you game and do a lot of other things at the same time.

Productivity will also get a huge boost.
 
I would only go from a 3800x to 3950x if I would need to do anything productivity wise that would benefit from the extra 8 cores. Games so far don't.

From personal experience with a 3950x i don't get to hit boost clock often, if any i usually hover around 4.55ghz ish. Only saw it once for one core 4.725ghz and that was in HWInfo recorded not me seeing it on a game or Ryzen master.

Gaming wise you might get 1 fps more or so not worth it. 4000 series will come next year which possibly will have 17% mentioned somewhere in gains so you could get the 4000 new goodies once they come out or when cheaper.

You got a beastly 3800x setup enjoy it you have a really awesome system I envy you with that monitor and gpu haha.
