I upgraded from a 9800x3d to a 9950x3d because I wanted better multitasking while gaming. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing worse frame rates with the 9950x3d. For example, I used to get a steady 120 fps in Helldivers, but now it drops to around 60 fps during battles. I've heard that I can disable the CCD without the 3D v-cache, but I'm not sure if that's the right move or if I should just switch back to my old 9800x3d. The last time I changed CPUs, I had a frustrating experience with TMP BS and ended up locked out of my Windows account. By the way, I've been hearing about Xbox Game Bar—what's that all about?

Did you perhaps run a Windows debloat script without knowing what it would do? That could cause some of the performance drops you’re experiencing.
Make sure you have Game Bar enabled! Windows handles core parking pretty well with the 9950x3d. I wouldn't recommend disabling the non-vcache CCD in the BIOS; let Windows do its thing. If you're interested, there's a great tuning guide for the 9950x3d on YouTube that could help you optimize performance without switching back.
The Xbox Game Bar helps Windows identify when a process is a game, allowing it to allocate resources more effectively to the X3D cores. So yes, you should definitely make sure you have Xbox Game Bar set up correctly!
