With the deal on for the AMD Ryzen processors at OcUK, just wondering if its worth an upgrade from an AMD 2700x to a 5800x?
Main reason would the FPS I'm getting in Total War: Warhammer 2 in double stack battles - i.e. there are soooo many units on the screen that my usual 80FPS @ 1440p slows to a crawl. Googling around, it would seem that the game is much more CPU bound with so many units on the screen. The game is not great at multi threading, but the 5800x has a higher boost clock speed.
Thinking about the 5800x as I have a Gigabyte x470 motherboard and 3200Mhz RAM so its a simple drop in upgrade, rather than going Intel which would need a much greater change. Currently have a 1080ti card that I also want to upgrade, but that will probably be next year thanks to the ongoing graphics card market nightmare.
