Hello. I’ll keep it simple

I am planning to do moderate gaming and moderate - heavy productivity workload especially with rendering, simultaneously streaming, and (video) editing. As such, I am eyeing the 7950x3d and have a few questions about it as all this talk about setting it up honestly seems daunting VS the simplicity of (from what I heard and understand) the one-and-done setup with the 7800x3d.
For the 7950x3d

  1. Do I *NEED* process lasso for it?
  2. Would just buying the CPU, installing it, and setting windows to high-performance work?
  3. If I just follow these steps by AMD themselves https://community.amd.com/t5/gaming/how-to-set-up-your-system-with-a-new-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-or/ba-p/589464, would that suffice?
  4. Just confirming this as I am honestly confused with the amount of information around. So if I game on my first monitor using the 8 cores of the 1st CCD, I can run a productivity process as well with the other cores as needed and it would NOT be parked? This is mostly what I’ll be doing
  5. For setting my expectations as well, for current 7950x3d users, what has been your overall experience with this CPU? Has it been a slog to setup? What issues did you guys face? What should I prepare myself to face if ever?
    For the 7800x3d
  6. Would the 7800x3d be enough for both gaming and productivity? Especially with my question 4 for the 7950x3d

If it helps with answering the questions, I have the 7900XTX with 32gb of 6000mhz cl30 Ram

Thank you!

    I was contemplating before between 7800X3D and 7950X3D.

    Decided to take the 7800X3D and not worry about it for gaming. My 5900X still great for my prod works.

    7950X3D is the best for your case. It’s amazing CPU.

    With 7950X3D, don’t forget when gaming, set Xbox Game Bar to ‘Remember this is a game’ for the game you’re playing.
