I am upgrading from a 3950x to a 7950x Setup and am curious if i should keep the old one also? Because of AM5, the only things missing in my order is a case, ssd and a cooler for the cpu.
The Benefits in my Imagination are;
-Using the old one in busy times to work on a second project, while the new one is Rendering.
-Using the old one as a Render Node.
-Using the old one just playing Games while Rendering.
The Struggle in my Imagination;
-Overworking? As I will already cut Render times in half and save time.
-How much Input i would get from the 3950x as a Node?
-Synchronizing the data on the main system. Headaches or easy process? I don't really want to transfer data everytime manually.
To my Standarts: the average amount of Projects I had this year was Monthly 2,66 Projects. Expectations next year are 3<. I only do Still Images, no Animations.
I would appreciate all your advices and experiences in similar cases!
