Best GPUs for AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Sixteen cores with V-Cache on one of the two core clusters, which is the source of both its strength and its awkwardness. Games that land on the cache-equipped side fly; work that spreads across everything gets the full core count. The awkwardness is that this depends on the scheduler putting things in the right place, and while that mostly works now, "mostly" is doing real work in that sentence.
