To be honest, if the updated iMac had been out when I was considering the Mac Pro I would have given it a try first. 10-core i9, 16GB 5700XT and built-in 5K display for less than half my Mac Pro would have been seriously tempting!
I understood. At the moment, I also think about the new iMac, however, I am disposed to Mac Pro because of modularity and the possibility of an upgrade. I include this ability at its high cost, because I'm going to buy a computer for many, many years. In addition, I want to work with HDR video and the built-in iMac display will not allow me to do this in full force ...

Call of Duty experiencing all sorts of graphics corruption with the W5700X.
Have you checked other games for such problems?

^^^^Don't forget temperature management as a reason too choose a NcMP 👍 I sold my last cMP after getting seven years off use and many many upgrades. Some of those upgrade (PCI cards and SSDs are now in my NcMP).

Yes thank you! I also consider this as an argument

But I am confused by the periodic complaints about the W5700X performance according to some reviews. Sounds like an optimization problem? For example:

Pro Vega II Duo + Afterburner + ProRes Raw = Stability and Optimization
$$$ = Peace of Mind
