Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my setup to a Ryzen 9 9950X3D from an Intel i9 12900KS. I also got a DDR5 motherboard along with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6400MHz. I'm curious if this new CPU will bottleneck when paired with my 3080 Ti, especially in gaming scenarios. Any thoughts?

At resolutions like 1440p or 4K, you shouldn't run into any noticeable bottleneck with that combo.
Bottlenecks depend on what tasks you're planning to run. Your CPU and GPU performance can vary widely depending on the workload. If you're mainly into gaming, that’s a bit more straightforward to gauge.
Honestly, just test it out! The worst that can happen is you'll realize there's a bottleneck, and then you can adjust accordingly.
There's always a bottleneck somewhere in a build. But switching from a 12900KS raises questions. What made you want to change over?
I kept experiencing BSODs with the 12900KS, despite tinkering with BIOS settings and undervolting. It's been a real hassle!
So, you're saying gaming is where I should focus on looking for potential issues?
