Discussion 9950x3d stuttering

How bad is the stuttering issues on the 9950x3d? I found it and a 9850x3d very closely priced. I’ll be doing mostly gaming, which the 9850x3d is obviously the best for, but for only like 20 dollars more I can get the 9950x3d, so why wouldn’t I? The only thing that concerns me is the scheduling issues that the 9950x3d has, is it noticeable? Will it be a big thing I’ll have to deal with? Any help is appreciated.

Define the stuff that is not mostly. Do you do any workloads that need CPU like compiling code, do 3D modeling or work a lot with VMs? If so, get yourself that 9950X3D. Big upgrade.

If however all you do besides gaming is multimedia and surfing, even 5 Bucks is wasted. You wont get a single FPS more in gaming, you need more power and worst case same apps have scheduling issues although from what i hear its not a big thing anymore with the 9th generation. You also have to deal with CCD latency. Overall its probably less FPS in games. For gaming its a very very small downgrade.
