I had a 8700k with the strix 2080ti overclocked to 5.0ghz. I play star citizen on 4k which is extremely demanding. But was enjoyable never dipped below 30fps. I wanted to have a to work and game and the 3950x seemed to be able to fill that role. Paired with the formula viii x570 same graphics card drops down to 20fps and is no barely playable even after lowering settings. Any advice would be well appreciated.

Why would you go from the 8700K to the 3950X?  

 

Did you DDU all drivers and reinstall Windows?

Are you trying to use the same OS install you had with the 8700K? With Windows you can re-use it if you stick to the same platform when you upgrade CPU but on your case you changed it entirely so you have to reinstall Windows from scratch.

Probably because he wanted/needed the 10 more cores.

Do you mean it occasionally dips to below 20? What is it averaging? Also like mentioned before you should probably do a fresh install of Windows.

1. Update Windows to 1909, it works better with Zen 2.

2. Update UEFI to latest version.

3. Enable Ryzen power plan.

4. Reinstall GPU drivers too.

Tag or quote me so i see your reply

Sure, but if he thinks the 3950X will power Star Citizen 4k more than the 8700K he's mistaken.

^^^ Also install the proper chipset drivers, IIRC Zen chips need those to behave a lot of the time too.
