If you're 90% gaming and nothing else really, go with the 5800x3d. Otherwise it's easier to claim the 5900x is marginally more future-proofed with all the cores. For what it's worth, I went from a 3900x to a 5900x, and while you wouldn't expect much (if any) difference during gaming, the experience was much smoother for me. It eliminated a lot of the "low FPS" drops and that, at least anecdotally, made things much more smooth. I think the 5900x is hard to beat if you want to upgrade your AM4.
In the coconut?

Quote from Mydiscover :
I am using both the Sony A7R 4 camera plus go pro 11 black. I am not using any plugins right now but I will soon. Should I upgrade my ram to 128gb? Also does the ram speed matter in video editing? I can get cheaper 3200mhz ram vs getting 3600mhz ram. I see the Cosair Vengence pro 64gb 2x32gb 3600 mhz can be had for $170 or go with Team group 2x32 gb 3200mhz for $150. Is it worth $20 more for the extra 400mhz ram speed? Thanks for any advice.
So what are your base ISO characteristics on that camera? I would advise recording video only at the base ISO so the video is very clean. I know the A7S3 for example has a base ISO of ISO 640 as well as a base ISO of 12800. So with that A7S3 camera, I would only run at those ISO levels. For my Canon EOS R5, it has base ISO of 800 and 3200 so I only run at those ISO levels. This is assuming you do log footage but I think it still applies to picture profile videos.

For the GoPro footage, that's pretty lightweight and not a lot of data so you won't have a hard time.

If you can swing for 128GB, it would be great! As for speed of RAM, faster is better. However, matching RAM is more important. You want all the sticks to match.

But I will say that I had DDR 3000 and went to DDR 3600 and noticed the difference. For the 3900X, DDR 3600 didn't help, but for my 5900X, I noticed. And if you ever go to the new AMD processors, they can really take advantage of the fastest DDR5 (so throw as much bandwidth at it).

Also note that if you don't use any plugins, you wouldn't need that much RAM. And each plugin uses different amounts of RAM. For this example, my Neat Video denoiser would run out on my 96GB system. But my Magic Bullet Denoiser worked fine. So I actually prefer Neat Video but I had a deadline and I couldn't diagnose with tech support in time to see if they had a solution. So I got the Magic Bullet Denoiser and I'll use it for big projects (videos 1 hour or longer).

that's not the point. the advantage of Intel right now is you can use things like your old RAM on a new build.

But if you're starting completely fresh with all new parts, the Intel is a dead-end as Intel is going to go to a new socket soon. When they go to a new socket, they won't be supporting DDR4 anymore. Whereas if you buy all new parts for an AMD build, those parts will last to at least 2025 (and often longer based on AMD history).

I agree with the others that this is not a very good deal. For that much you might as well get the 5800X3D for a tiny bit more.

This guy hit the nail on the head. If you have good DDR4 (3200 or higher) then the 13600k/z690 combo is hard to beat vs the high entry price for AM5. However, if you don't have good DDR4 to reuse, and you're the type that upgrades CPU's every couple years, then AM5 is probably the way to go. Downside of that forward upgradability is increased cost though. Personally I don't see a point, as any of the higher end Intel and AMD CPU's are gonna last 90% of people at least 5-7 years anyway. Hell, my Sandybridge 2500k is still going strong 11 years later (but that thing is an overclocking beast, sitting at 4.8ghz)

man I love my 5900X. It's a very nice increase over the 3900X. But I'm now on the 7900X and that's a beast. I just got the Crucial 4TB NVMe to hold me over until I can get the Gen 5 drives. Make sure you get high quality DDR5 to make the upgrade worth it.

I love my 5900x too. It is already far more CPU than I need, so I don't feel like I need to upgrade.

I have this and I think I might be good for next 5-6 years. Thoughts?
