Hey everyone! I'm considering building a new rig and I'm wondering if the Ryzen 9 9950X3D combined with the 9070XT is a solid choice for both gaming and video editing. I plan to use software like After Effects, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci, and 3ds Max. For gaming, I'm particularly interested in playing Counter-Strike 2 at a resolution of 1280x960 (4:3). If I go with the 9950X3D, how much FPS can I realistically expect? I'm aiming for at least 500 FPS. Would it be better to choose the regular 9950X instead?

Honestly, the 9950X3D is pretty much the best gaming CPU next to the 9800X3D. It handles Premiere pretty well too! If you're heavily into Adobe products, you won't regret this choice.
The 9950X3D is unbeatable for both gaming and productivity! If you're into 4K gaming, the GPU becomes way more important, but for your uses, it's definitely a fantastic choice! You really can't go wrong with this setup!
The 9950X3D is great for gaming but won't really improve your video editing much. If your main focus is editing, the difference may not be worth it unless you're pushing high settings in gaming. If you're gaming casually at lower settings, the benefits might not be huge.
It's top-tier for gaming and performs well for editing too! You should think about how often you edit versus how much you game. If you’re constantly working on CPU-heavy projects, it could lean more towards the 9950X. But for casual editing and some Skyrim on the weekends? Go for the 9950X3D!
Do you personally use After Effects and Adobe? Is the performance solid?
