5900x vs 5950x (and 5900xt soon) Performance Difference for Streaming Heavy Games
Dumb upgrade? 5900x -> 5900xt or 5950x

Trying to decide between Ryzen 7 5800X3D or Ryzen 9 5900X

I had an amazing experience upgrading from a 3900x to a 5900x. The new CPU was faster and ran cooler.
When I saw the new 5900xt, I thought that this was a no brainer for an upgrade. But, reading I see that the 5900xt is just a binned 5950.
Does it make any sense to upgrade away from a 5900x? I do some light gaming but often run multiple concurrent makemkv/handbrake instances. The extra cores/threads would be nice.
Hey all!
(I wasn't sure if it was a better idea to post this here or on the AMD subreddit so I posted to both)
I've had my 5900x for a while and I love it. I do run into some CPU bottlenecking on certain games when streaming them. The most obvious example is Cyberpunk. Since it is CPU limited no DLSS (other than Frame-Gen) or anything helps much with the issue.
If the game were to be played on its own the issue is non-existent, but while having all of the streaming software active it hovers around the 40-50fps mark.
If I were to upgrade to the 5950x, do you guys think there would be a worthwhile difference in the game performance? I am hoping that by having more cores to go around, the other software will not cause the game performance to lower.
Thanks!
