Nvidia Surround CPU question

[oghabib]

Looking for what would be a better build for a Nvidia 4k Surround system. Im running 2 2080ti at 11520x2160 resolution on 120hz monitors. What CPU would be best for building around these cards to push this setup. 9900k or a 9980XE.

The 9900K should be slightly better than the 9980XE for gaming most of the time, depends on the specific games you're playing and at what settings you're playing them.

 

Not to mention that a 9980XE + X299 motherboard will cost a fortune compared to a 9900K + Z390 decent motherboard.

The 9900k is the better option for gaming when compared to a 9980XE, as it has higher single thread performance, the 9900k is currently the single best gaming CPU on the market.

I cannot imagine a single game that would do better on the 9980XE

I play Battlefield V, Star Citizen and most AAA releases, and usually at High Settings, sometime medium.

 

Is there a big difference in performance of the 2 CPUs when running at that high of a resolution? 

 

Does the Quad vs Dual channel memory make any difference? and what about pcie lanes and running cards at 16x - 16x
