Help Choose between i9 9900k and Ryzen 9 3900x

[d4n1Xd34th]

I am probably assembling my PC by the end of this month or the next. But i am still confused between the CPU. 

What advantages can the RYZEN provide me?

 

I will mostly be using it for 50% 3D modelling and Rendering and 50% gaming. Might stream (not sure)

 

Gpu of choice is an RTX 2080TI (Gaming X Trio)

 

Software i will be using are, SketchUp, Lumion (Gpu based) Blender etc

 

Note from Lumions website : Multiple CPUs or more than 4 CPU cores will not make a difference.

 

Please advise

 

EDIT : Leaning towards the Ryzen, after community's advice

Ryzen 9 3900X obviously, you lose mere 5fps on gaming at most and win massive bump in performance for your rendering and 3d work and over all multitasking with a more power efficient system.

But won't the gpu rendering be faster than the cpu? Besides lumion supports only gpu based renders.

If Ryzen 7nm+  is a thing next year your X570 mobo will provide an upgrade path. Those 12 cores are nice now but maybe next year you want to upgrade to the 16 core without changing any of your parts.

The thing is that i am losing out on the gaming side, but the softwares i intend to use doesn't offer much of an advantage on core count (except blender cycles, but somehow i believe rtx 2080ti) gpu render will be faster anyway [ blender uses ray tracing, so i guess rt cores will matter too]

GPU acts as a hardware acceleration, you still need a CPU to manage the GPU to work per se even on a fully CUDA based rendering.

 

Listen as someone who owns an i9 9900K, it's not worth it, new Ryzen 3000 processors are gold, they offer unbeatable price to performance.

 

Intel is *not* a premium brand anymore and for gaming unless you are going 1080p240hz which is a gimmick and you shouldn't you won't be CPU bottlenecked, even with a 2080 Ti you are likely to run into GPU bound scenarios most of the time.

 

That's my two cents if anything.

Probably thats what i am thinking. Besides i am just aiming for 144hz at 1440p

You need to actually watch a few review videos of the new Ryzen cpus.  If you're asking what advantages they can provide, you have done NO research.

 

Especially if you do 3D modeling and rendering, you should know what a high core/thread count CPU will do.  

 

For example:

They have a very high advantage on softwares like cinema 4D. Sketchup? Doesn't really matter. 

For lumion official website says : Multiple CPUs or more than 4 CPU cores will not make a difference.

I would go with the 3900x.

 

its an upgradable path, better price to performance and on gaming loads your between 2-5 FPS less than having a 9900k

Yes probably going for the RYZEN

Dude 3900x all day.  It is a CPU made for you.  If intel was offering their 9900k under 400 that would be different, but you cant pass up the price to performance of that 3900x for what you are doing.  That is certainly what I would do (or build a 3950x build in september!)

[Zberg]

Also at higher rez, you lose a lot of the benefit of the 9900k in gaming.  At 4k everything is 100% gpu bound, there is almost no difference.  At 1440p (where you are) it isnt that extreme, but it will be much closer than 1080 for sure.  Grab that 3900 and maybe a pcie4 NVME!

Also - when you get Ryzen, you are sticking  it to Intel.
