[SOLVED] 3800X vs 9900K/F

[Uri Abraham]

I have a important question for y'all today, "Which CPU can handle better two RTX 2080's connected via SLI, the ryzen 7 3800X or the intel core i9 9900K/F?"

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I've also considered changing the CPU to a 3900X OR instead of the two RTX 2080's I'll do two 2070 supers

For gaming purposes, how well two GPUs will scale is extremely heavily dependent on in-game support. No in-game support = negative to low/no multi-GPU scaling (or even won't work at all in some cases) regardless of CPU.

So I'm thinking 3800X because it's cheaper, do you agree?

Any kind of Rendering > 3900X or 3800X
4K Gaming or VR with a big SLI like that> 3900X,9900K,3800X,9700K.. you don't see much of a difference since the GPU's are doing all the work.
1080p/1440p and your looking for MAX FPS at all cost> 9900K but it's not hugely ahead

In most benchmarks I have seen, there is little to no no benefit to going any higher than the Ryzen 3700X on AMD's side for gaming. Intel's i9-9900[insert alphabet soup] is the best option only if your priority is achieving the highest frame rates possible no matter the cost.

The real question is, "which will make the bigger bottleneck, if even?"

Many of the SLI tests I've seen recently show nice higher 60-70% jumps in average FPS , but, actually lower 1% lows....which is unacceptable...

Ergo, if your going to spend 2080Ti money (i.e., a pair of 2080s), might as well get a 2080Ti...
