Yes. But r7 3800x runs hotter than 3700x so if recording and playing you should consider gettin 3700x or better than stock cooler woth r7 3800x

Yes.  Source : I have a 3700x.

This is stupid argument IMO, its pretty much the same thermals, the 3800x is just binned better. Also gameplay is going to be mid 60's at most anyway, as you record with Nvidia Shadowplay, or use OBS using Nvenc Encoder, or if you do decide to do CPU encoding it still will be fine

Dpends. Since the r7 3800x uses more power it gets hotter when in load. And not worth the price.

People had that argument with the 3900x vs 3950x, where it was shown to be pretty nullified due to the binning.

 

Wont disagree with you on price. I got my 3800x for 320$ when the 3700x was 300$ at microcenter

@SavageNeoshould I go for 3700x.

Well yes if you save money. If its the sane price in your market, then its decent buy

[Alan272]

@SavageNeois their is any performance loss in 3700x in compare to 3800x in gaming.

Not really unless you OC, then there is a small difference. Not worth it if its 70$ higher though.

Minimal if any at all.

@Shimejiiok the final question. 9700k vs 3700x in obs recording in NVENC

That always depends on the situation. Generally no ofcourse not those are both very very high level cpus and both of them are enough to make you run gpu limited ( wich is the general definition of not having a bottleneck. )

 

The way cpu and gpu work together it can make a difference tho if you want to play very very high fps games. The cpu computes a raw picture without textures. The gpu then takes these and textures them. So the 3800x can put out more raw frames tho u most likely will never notice since these cpus both probably compute 200+ fps in most games and your gpu then takes as many of these as it can to render. Only time you will notice this is when you're running very low settings for max fps idk in csgo or rocket league or rainbow six for example. In games like this it could make a difference but not substantially. So maybe 250 fps vs 260 fps just for example.

Nvenc doesn't affect the cpu as far as I know. It's a hardware acceleration using the Turing chip on your 2080 super. So I don't think you will have any problems with either of those. Tho I would choose ryzen since amd proves to be better in terms of performance and if not that atleast tdp and is also more future proof because they don't block upgrading like intel did just so often in the last year's

Yes but it is minimal, perhaps 1-3%.

 

I got the 3800X on sale at Christmas for non-sale price of a 3700X and couldn't be happier.  The binning does make a fair bit of difference.  Stock, I have three cores boosting to about 4543 mhz and my worst core will boost to 4441 mhz.  I have also easily managed an all core OC of 4.5 Ghz on the 3800X though I removed it because I don't see the point since I mostly game and my max boost clocks already can exceed 4.5 Ghz.  Most people seem to only get about 4200-4300 mhz on a stock 3700X, especially if they are trying for a all core OC.   Again in games this is only about a 1-3% performance difference but if you can get the 3800X at or near the same cost as the 3700X go for it.  It is not however worth $50-$80 more.

 

I will also second the suggesting for getting a better cooler whether you get the 3700X or the 3800X as Ryzen 3000's boost clock seems to be sensitive to temps.  Based on results from Gamers Nexus, keeping the operating temps in the mid 60s can gain you up to a couple hundred mhz on your max boost which could be another 1-3% boost.  Running the stock cooler, means your probably going to be seeing temps in the mid to high 70s or if you don't have good airflow in your case, maybe even low 80s.  While there isn't throttling going on here, it will reduce the max boost clock speeds.

 

Finally having fast RAM and tight timings can also have an impact on performance. Again alone it only has a small impact, maybe 1-3% but it is still an impact.

 

Another way to look at it is this:

 

1 - 3800X instead of 3700X = 1-3% performance gain.

2 - Good Cooler over Stock Cooler = 1-3% performance gain.

3 - Fast, Tight memory over lower speed, worse timings memory = 1-3% gain.

 

Overall = 3-9% gain or a fairly significant performance gain though how much $$$ that is worth to you depends on your budget.
