Best GPU for a Ryzen 2700x?

[Megahurtz400]

Hey all!

I'm wanting to eek the most out of my machine, I only play CSGO, Hell Let Loose and older games, so don't want to dump a load into a whole new set up, but would like to try and eek as much performance out of HLL as I can, even though it's a badly optimized game.

So wanting to pick up a new GPU on the MM, but wondering what would be the best GPU that won't be bottlenecked by the CPU?

Currently looking at a 3070ti, maybe a 3080 if one pops up in budget?

Cheers

Sorry guys, realise I didn’t give much info earlier!

Currently have a 2700x, VEGA64, an 850w power supply and 16gb RAM DDR4.

@Tetras, Hell Let Loose is terribly optimised, with my current set up at 1440p I’m only just seeing 60-80fps on most maps dipping to 40 in busy scenes.

So if I can eek out another 20-30 FPS at the high end and get above 60 solid that would be a win for me.

What monitor do you have exactly? A Vega 64 isn't an awful 1080p GPU for 60 Hz. Do you have a 1440p 120hz + monitor or what?

1440p 144hz

Grab a 6700x and a 5600 as suggested above, you may need to update your bios for the CPU but wait until it arrives as the new bios might not support your 2700x.

Would a 3070ti/3080/6800xt see much of an improvement over the 6700xt?

I’m not really limited too much by budget, and if spending a bit more would eek out more performance and give me a bit more longevity I don’t mind spending it.

I'd probably keep an eye out on MM if wanting to go beyond a 6700XT as new prices on those cards offer little VFM right now.

The members market is a good bet as suggested by @Joxeon, if you insist on new I wouldn't go for much beyond a well priced 6800XT (meaning as close to £500 as possible).

Whatever I buy will be from the MM for sure, no need to pay new prices when there's plenty of good quality stuff on there

Thanks for all the advice as usual guys

Hi Mega, I'm currently running 3700x (with RAM at slow speeds!) and 3060ti, when I was playing with you guys the other day on HLL I was getting about 70-90fps at 1440....(and definitely dipping below 60 at times)

I wasn't particularly paying attention to utilisation but had a brief look online earlier and it looks like it's mostly single thread limited...What GPU are you running? Ah Vega64!...

I have a feeling you may still benefit more from a CPU upgrade, but happy to capture some benchies next time I'm on if you tell me what I need to record...also will try to get my 5950x in again and see if it makes any difference!

edit:If you wanna ping me your settings in the discord (tr0j4n, as I'm sure you guessed) feel free! I was playing all on ultra except for motion blur turned off I think!

Cheers mate!

I'll chat more when we're next on
