For anyone running your own raid, what’s your current setup?

It seems like my 7950x with 64gb performance has degraded significantly since LS days. Even with frame limiter running, my main drivers is seeing bad stuttering during raid.

Thinking of stepping up to 9950x3d or one of the thread-ripper offering, not sure which one offers better performance for our niche play style.

the 7950x should have the same ram a 9950x motherboard would use so you're probably good there. However you wont see the performance increase worth the cost. Your best option would be a threadripper more cores more threads. When running 50-80 toons on one PC you want more ram more cores and threadripper gives you more options in both areas.

Yeah, the same RAM I bought 2 years ago for $159 is now $819.
More to your point of the thread. I'm running the exact same thing as you, a 7950x but 128GB of RAM. I can run 42 with no issue. Could probably run more if I tried it. I do run my clients bare bones though. I turn off every single thing I can and everything down to the lowest settings including view distance, actor distance, all particle affects off, old models, logging off, etc. I run a separate folder for my drivers with more stuff turned on. One of the biggest causes of lag for me is having all the combat spam turned on for parsing. It's night and day difference with it all switched to don't show in the main options.

Was giving it some more thoughts about this. Even tho 9950x3d has more cache, the I/O bus bandwidth is probably still the same so probably will see some stuttering issues and delayed response switching clients.

Kind of curious if anyone running a thread-ripper setup and how many cores is enough for a 54 man raid.

I can tell you im running 85 toons on a 7950x and 85 on a 9950x and you only see about a 10% difference in CPU workload. For a 40-50 person raid you want more cores and more ram. 256gbs of DDR5 is going to be 2k-2500 just by itself.
