5600x vs 3950x for video editing and some gaming

[rocketman122]

1440p screen and very happy with 50-60fps for any game so I dont chase any more fps.

I do picture editing but getting into video editing. a neighbor friend wants to sell me his 3950x for $150 as hes upgrading himself. I have the 5600x. was considering the 3950x for video ediitng, davinci resolve maybe after effects. fusion is more problematic

3080gpu maybe 3090 if I can find a good price.

for gaming I dont play the newest games. usually im slow in playing anything new 3-4 later. I prefer more odd games. so gaming is partly important but im wondering if the 3950x is better for video editing.

in benchmarks the 5600x seems to be about 10-15% faster in single core but the 3950 seems to be 100% faster in multi core.
I think the 5600x is a good cpu but curious how much ill gain or lose with the 5600x for video editing

I have another question

can i downgrade flash ,the bios on my mb?

when I got the mb and 5600x. it wouldnt work out of the box so I had to flash the bios. first time I ever done so. worked flawlessly. but is it downgradeable ?

B550M AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.3) Support | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

doesnt seem to say anything on the bios support page

thanks in advance

is it downgradeable ?

It will usually say if it isnt.

 

[rocketman122]

but where does it say it?

you mean the newer bios thats installed will have it that it wont allow a person to downgrade. it will say "old cpu? pis off" haha

thats the question. buying the cpu and then coming to realize I cant downgrade.

thanks again for the assist. always helpful.

It should say on the bios support page if it cant be rolled back . If it doesnt say that then you dont need to fret.
