I feel i have a twin with the way Acme is discussing stuff, im not much of a gamer truth be told, i just use pc to watch anime and tv and films most of the day and game a few times a week with little games like mini metro haha, i do want to try a re run of gta 5, which i ran great back in the day with this cpu and 670 card on medium 1080. Then i got a new monitor 1440p which was 75hz. Then a 780ti which i thought ran amazing on the 1080p 22in i had but then went to 1440p and meh in action or fast driving had some issues. Got rdr2, ran fine more or less on vega tho i stopped playing cos i got annoyed with the horse taking ages.
I do think id play more if i had somehow reduced some fps issues with the new card that was the plan i thought maybe the vega wasnt really the 1440p card i thought it was, tho i do admit i was bottlenecked by the cpu a little bit but things wernt too bad, just the odd game like x4 which not even ppl with the most powerful cpu can run smoothly on stations apparently.
If i can ill be upgrading cpu, mb, ram probs new psu as it really is getting on now, by xmas if not next birthday in march 2022. I think i can live with the issues till then, i havent tried all games, some might be nice.
I have division 2, that played really well when i tried on my vega56 near maxed out and no issues at 1440p, shame i didnt have staying power and actually play it much.
