Not if you want gaming performance.
I had a 1950X and 2950X, before my current cpu. It was fine, both barely even noticed that it was being taxed by games, like a 10-15% load where my 7800X3D is like 40-50%. Great for video rendering and stuff too, it wasn't uncommon to do both at the same time and the system was still responsive and quick.
Now I'm not about to drop the kind of cash required to upgrade to a 32-64 core chip, and yet another board, as the prices went out of prosumer/high end enthusiast with 3xxx and beyond. And the fact that TR4 only lasted 2 gens when we were promised much longer service/upgrade lives...
But TR for games is the tits. Financially moronic but it goes baby, it goes.
