I currently have a Ryzen 5 3100 CPU and an RX 570 GPU. Thanks to GPU market craziness I’ve purchased a 1080 as an upgrade to the RX 570 for maybe as little as £55 net cost, and it’s got me wondering about whether the new card will be bottlenecked by my current CPU. Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with whether going to a 3600 (with a stock cooler) would be worthwhile for 1440p/144hz gaming with a 1080? I think I could do it for a net cost of maybe £65 by selling the 3100.

My experience with the AM4 socket and the stock cooler (on 3100/3600’s at least) is that it screwed directly to the backplate. Maybe beefier stock coolers have a different solution though

A 3600x is literally only a few % better than a 3600, so yeah any sort of OC you put on the chip will let you match it.

CaptainSarcastic posted:That seems like kind of a misfire, since you are only showing 6-core CPUs and it's not clear if that benchmark is using DLSS or RTX in whatever combination. A more useful chart would be showing performance with the same videocard and multiple CPU configurations, not just the 6-core iterations of each generation. I have a 2070 Super which is holding its own just fine, and with the GPU market where it is the cost/benefit ratio of replacing it doesn't seem likely to favor a purchase for a while. The reports on the 5800X3D so far suggest it could provide a modest improvement, and would also give me MOAR CORES, so the cost/benefit ratio seems like it might be a little more reasonable. The point is that to a greater or lesser extent, every one of these tests is demonstrating a GPU bottleneck. Neither additional cache nor MOAR CORES will provide much/any additional performance in this case, since it is almost entirely or actually entirely bound by the GPUs performance.
