Ryzen 9 7900X or Ryzen 9 9900X


Yapping, so bear with me:

Currently working on a “do all” project that can handle everything and I’m trying to build something based around the AMD ecosystem. I want the rig to be able to balance gaming, streaming, music production, and photo/video editing(maybe some light vfx, animation, AI, etc); also handle more than one major task simultaneously, e.g., streaming games, streaming a studio session, editing music while editing video for synchronization purposes, etc. I’ve settled on the 7900 GRE as the GPU for performance and price. I’m currently unsure and want to choose the optimal CPU. I’ve seen a good bit of benchmarks and I’m aware of the differences in price, overall performance, cores and usage, cooling/temps, power consumption, etc. I’ve run a bunch of combos into bottleneck calculators such as https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/ and https://bottleneckcalculator.co but neither of them have the 9900X listed for comparability. I’ve read the X3D series prioritizes and optimizes gaming but falls short in those other categories. Just want to know anyone’s thoughts or advice to avoid/minimize bottlenecking running the 7900 GRE with the 9900X, 7900X or anything else. Attached pics of 7900X results. Thanks.

Posting this in a dozen or so subs. Sorry for the spam.

    Hello Fit-Television-4295, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    Don’t worry about processor intense tasks cuz ur going to mostly be using ur processor over the gpu so I don’t think that bottleneck matters at all

    Gpu intense tasks 3.6% is nothing to worry about

    Both cpus will work well with the 7900 gre, just depends on how much ur willing to spend and if it’s actually work the extra money

  3. WorldlyBet4172

    depends on the program, some programs use both cpu and gpu and some use one or the other

    Video wise u should be fine

    I wouldn’t worry about anything since the 7900x and 9900x are balanced with a 7900gre so u should be ok
