I've been multitasking a lot while gaming, running three monitors with a Twitch stream, a browser full of tabs, Discord, and audio software alongside my games. Recently, I've noticed some minor performance hiccups during intense sessions. I'm curious about how much my multitasking setup might be affecting my FPS. If I decide to upgrade my CPU, specifically considering a sale on the 9700X, how much of a difference could I expect in terms of overall performance? For reference, I'm gaming at 4K with an RTX 4080 Super, a Ryzen 7600 CPU, and 32GB of RAM at 6400 MT/s.

Have you considered testing your performance without all those apps open? That could give you a clearer picture of how much they're impacting your FPS. You mentioned running benchmarks, so let us know what you find out!
You might want to check your RAM usage during peak activity. Usually, 32GB is sufficient, but with your intense multitasking, it could be getting maxed out. Also, your 4080 Super's 16GB VRAM should handle 4K gaming fine, but keeping an eye on VRAM usage when everything's running is a good idea.
Yeah, what's your CPU and RAM usage while doing all this? From what you said, if your CPU is hitting 80-100% and RAM at 56%, that sounds like multitasking is pulling a lot from your system. More cores could definitely help, especially with gaming and streaming at the same time. Have you thought about whether to go for the 9700X, 9900X, or even the X3D?
