AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU: High-end Vs. mid-end GPU

Rendering

Rendering_Cinebench R23 Multi Core

Rendering_Cinebench R23 Single Core

Rendering_Blender

Rendering_Davinci_Resolve

Rendering_Keyshot

Rendering_Corona_Benchmark

In Blender, I use the BMW 27 scene. The Corona Renderer might be old, but it provides valuable insights into the CPU’s rendering capabilities.

Davinci Resolve is one of the best video editing apps, even in its free version. I use it to extract a 4K video without utilizing the GPU’s capabilities.

The stronger GPU didn’t boost Cinebench, Blender, Keyshot, and Corona’s performance. On the other hand, in Davinci Resolve, the rendering time dropped a lot.

Media Encoding

Media_Encoding_H.264

Media_Encoding_H.265

Media_Encoding_VP9

I convert a 4K video to HD format with 30 frames per second with Handbrake, using three different compression algorithms.

The RTX 4090 provides a notable performance boost.

Puget Benchmarks

PugetBench_Premiere

PugetBench_Photoshop

Puget is a PC-building company specializing in video editing systems. To evaluate their systems, they’ve created several benchmark tests for popular video and photo editing applications. They were also kind enough to provide free (and paid) versions of them to the rest of the world.

There was a slight drop in Photoshop, but the RTX 4090 improved performance in Premiere.
