Comparison of prices: 10850K versus 3900x
Intel i9 10850k costs around $398, while the Aorus Pro Ax version is about $356. The Ryzen 9 3900x comes in at $519, and the B550 Aorus Pro Ax is $210. Total prices add up to roughly $754. Which option suits you better? The key point is that adding a capture card to the secondary PCIe slot will double Intel’s PCIe lanes (3x8) but reduce Ryzen’s bandwidth (4x8). Consider minimizing performance limits.
fyi the 3900x is actually a bit under 500 https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-9-3900x...6819113103 If you really have a multithreaded workload that scales well for cores, get a 3900x. However in a few months you will also be able superior single core performance with the 5900x, so I would wait for the 5900x.
Curious user notes high cost relative to value, focusing on 1080p at 240fps and streaming capabilities.
Your budget allows for 520 but excludes 550. Also, 5900x is much higher than a 3900x improvement.
Is the Ryzen 5 8 00X on the market at a reasonable price? It definitely stands out as the top choice for gaming right now. Compared to the 3900X and 10850K, the i9 offers stronger performance for 1080P at 240Hz, but the 3900X is likely the more versatile option overall.
It seems a bit expensive, but when you factor in the motherboard, the overall cost matches the Intel choice. The 5800X offers stronger performance than the 10850K even with fewer cores, and it consumes less power—though cooling remains tough because of its high density.
