Threadripper runs extremely poorly, relative to much cheaper AMD chips from the generation, in every game. I know because my home server is a 3990X, but my 5900x which came out around the same time takes laps around it. It is expensive, hot, consumes a lot of power and has shit single-threaded performance. They released like 3 months apart. It is not a rational choice for Windows or gaming. It is extremely rational for virtualization though. I can run trillions of dockers on mine, which currently has 2 7900 XTX cards in a cluster. My 5900X system, which I game on, has a 3090 Kingpin, because it is for gaming. The threadripper + XTX is for virtualization, containers and AI. It would be fucking retarded to game on it in every measurable way. Surely no one is that retarded.
