Need a processor to handle two games at once?
Hello, your dual monitor setup uses one GPU while running two games at once—something that demands strong performance from the CPU. For this kind of workload, focusing on CPU features like higher core speeds (such as 9900K) or better multithreading (like Ryzen 3900X) could really help. These upgrades would make handling both RPGs and turn-based games smoother. It’s not about picking just one part, but ensuring your CPU can manage the demands of your current setup. Let me know if you need more details!
In your situation it might make sense not to stress over fanboys. I'm an AMD enthusiast; the community here is quite friendly. The 3900 could be handy if you intend to stream or record gameplay on the same machine, though it's a bit more than necessary for CPU power. Still, you could definitely fit well with such a processor.
the latest ryzen model isn't much slower, but if you're not planning to record or stream, an 8-core option from amd might be better for gaming. I want to highlight the issue I notice with the 9900k—intel could soon release a new lineup, though it's still unconfirmed. If that happens, the socket and the processor itself will lose a lot of value right away.
You might prefer waiting until 3950x. A single core for the hypervisor, five for one task and six for another should work. Although it's good, the 9900k isn't the best choice.
Intel seems to be offering only a 10-core refresh, with nothing significant expected before late 2020 or 2021.
The variation is minimal; adding more cores for other titles helps offset it
That's accurate, but it appears they'll replace the socket, causing the existing socket and CPU connection to fail. The 10-core configuration will appear quite poor compared to the 8-core version.
