I'm working in game development, specifically focusing on 3D art, and I'm looking for the right CPU for my workstation. It's used for CPU/GPU rendering, baking operations, and general 3D work, but I also enjoy gaming on this machine. I'm considering either the 9800X3D or the 7800X3D. While I know the performance differences for gaming are clear, I'm also contemplating the 9900X due to my workload requirements. Am I on the right track? Additionally, should I go for an X870 or a B850 motherboard?

All these CPUs are really powerful and should handle both gaming and your work tasks well. The key is to decide whether your priority is top-notch gaming or work performance.
Honestly, I think the 9900X would suit your needs better, especially for work. But why not go for the 9950X3D? It gives you the best of both gaming and work worlds! Just remember to claim it as a work expense if you can!
The 7800X3D tends to be a bit limited for non-gaming tasks, making the 9800X3D a better option for your work. If you can swing it, the 9900X3D or 9950X3D would give you even better performance across the board. And unless you really need USB4, skip the X870 motherboard.
