Hello everyone.
Been a while since I've posted here but I'm at the crossroads with what to do now. I'm more into my gaming now and have been looking for ways to try and improve my rig. I've recently purhcased a 1440p monitor so wanting to be able to play on that without issues. My current rig can pretty much do that apart from demanding games like Cyberpunk, Stalker etc. I don't have the money to build a new rig currently but if it's the best solution I guess I could start saving. I'm currently on AM4 Chipset which limits the CPU I'm able to upgrade too but I was wondering if it's worth getting a Ryzen 7 5800x3D and chucking it into my current rig or am I best saving for a while and upgrading to AM5, which would be something like a Ryzen 7800x3D but with that comes a new motherboard, ram etc.
My current set-up is as follows:
- B450 Tomahawk Max Motherboard
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 boosted too 4.2Ghz
- 32GB Ram (2x16GB DDR4 3200Mhz)
- Corsair 850W Gold PSU
- Asus Rog Strix RTX 3070 8GB GPU
I seem to be sitting at roughly 80 FPS on shooter games like Call of duty with pretty much maxed out settings however when I jump on a game like Stalker or Cyberpunk when I really want to enjoy the graphic design that's gone into the game the FPS tanks down on the higher settings. With some modest adjustment and DLSS I can reach 40 ish FPS.
Would it be worth changing the CPU to a better AM4 chip like the 5800x3d or am I better waiting until I can afford a whole new set-up. I would like to save for a new GPU but I'm hopeful that maybe once the 50 series comes out from Nvidia the RTX 40 cards may drop. I believe that 8GB VRAM is not really good enough for a lot of games now. (Even call of duty on Extreme settings I seem to be maxing out the VRAM usage)
Any advice would be awesome, thanks in advance
