Hi man, welcome to the forums! I think WoW has so little cpu requirement it is your GPU that is limiting you. Get 1080ti and be happy! If your gpu is running 100% and your cpu 25% this means that your 3/4 of your cpu is doing nothing waiting for your gpu to do it's job.

tbh there are no good benchmarks on internet with dota 2, but I'd say go for 580. its a good card and there is no reason to get 1060 6gb and pay premium for it.

2060 is probably going to be between 1070 and 1070Ti performance and it's not going to be cheaper. I don't see enough value in 2060 if you can get vega56 with freesync for similar price. Go get that vega and stay happy man! Also as a slight bonus you're going to give AMD some money which means you'll be actively working towards better competition on market!

My friend here are my 2 cents: 1. If you want to stream and game on the same PC then get 2700x and a decent x470 motherboard. There is absolutely no reason to get 8700k for streaming. Maybe 8core intel cpus that will come in distant future will do something about this but I expect it being MUCH more expensive. 2. If you worry about FPS in games with 2700x then don't - the 2700x will push over 100fps with a right GPU and this is basically all you need in the games you want to play/stream. 3. 16GB Ram I think will be enough for multitasking (stream+game+twitch). Just have minimal amount of Chrome tabs opened - chrome can be ram-intensive. 4. 16GB ram can be limiting if you want to game+render at the same time, but even so you shouldn't get that much of a performance decrease. 5. If you're not so set on getting over 144fps in all titles all the time the 1080Ti is sufficient enough for everything you want to do, 2080Ti will be probably more reasonable only if you plan to game at 1440p or 4k. But then higher res is not good for streaming/YT. Hope this helps

Sell your motherboard and buy ryzen 2600 with b450 motherboard. If you have some more budget then get ryzen 2700. If you are low on budget then look for ryzen 1700, even used ryzen 1700 will do. On Intel cpus you shouldn't expect reasonable performance in streaming. And even if you check some benchmarks - they very rarely take into consideration stream viewer's visual quality - not your's gaming experience while you stream... Gamer's Nexus channel on Youtube actually made some videos about streaming performance of Ryzen. If you watch them then remember that you can improve further streaming experience that Gamers Nexus show by changing some stream settings. Hope this helps!

Thanks for honest answer Looking at your situation, budget and offerings... I'd say you would have to wait at least till 2060 cuz 2070+ will be out of your budget. I expect not so much of a difference between 2060 and vega56 and with vega you get freesync. Yea... Vega 56 is certainly your best option here. Even if you sell half of those games then I think it's worth it. Good luck and if you buy Vega 56 don't be afraid to twist those clocks a bit higher then stock, it's basically free performance!

Hi, yes I think that you should wait for 2000 series gpu benchmarks. I can see that performance wise the Vega will deliver exactly what you need - a 1080p ultrawide 75fps. Especially if you overclock and vega does OC nicely if you provide decent cooling and have enough wattage. But to put it bluntly - not waiting for benchmarks or at least more believable leaks will definitely not be a good idea, unless you have no GPU right now. If you have no GPU at the moment then go get Vega and be happy btw - are you happy with your lg monitor? does it feel better then standard non-ultrawide in gaming?

You do play on 1080p monitor, right?? Then OC your rx480 and hold on for a month or so. You probably will have issues in selling games and the premium you pay for Vega is probably in the end not worth Free Sync (you will pull 80+ fps in most titles after your purchase).

Let's hope you're right then Oh and I saw that you're buying 2080Ti - good luck! This one is gonna be a beast!

RTX 2070 has 2304 Cuda Cores, GDDRX5, 16nm GTX 1070Ti has 2432 Cuda Cores, GDDR6, 12nm We already know that 12nm does not clock better than 16nm - meaning that whichever clocks you run on 12nm you can run on 16nm. So it's not about clocks. The difference is the possible improvement from architecture and memory, that needs to overcome the loss of having less cuda cores than 1070Ti. Do you really think that gain will be that high to allow for 1080Ti performance? Personally I think it will be nice if we see 1080-like performance, more leaning towards 1070Ti AIB performance. I feel that we are paying way too high of a premium for Ray Tracing with this and Nvidia knows it that is why it is pushing towards new generation in next year.

Oh my, you DO have 1070Ti. You play 1080p I assume? Go to youtube and see how games you play would run on geforce 1080. It's not that easy to run at 144fps in some titles.

I heard from Hardware Unboxed that it's gonna be closer to 1070Ti level of performance and I think I can agree with him. This means that unless you really want RT you might want to consider buying 1070Ti and save some cash or buy 1080.

I would say no, but then you might want ~600fps 1080p CS:GO experience. I think it shouldn't bottleneck if you play at least semi-modern titles. 2600X is capable of handling 1080Ti and greater cards...

From what we know there will be no IPC gains. I won't take into consideration clocks, because 12nm and 16nm manufacturing process has similar clock limits. You can probably set similar clocks for both. So what is different? Cuda Cores, memory and maybe minimal architectural gains. That said we are looking at 3,5k Cuda Cores for 1080Ti and 2,9k Cuda Cores for 2080. A vast difference. The memory and architectural gains probably will make the performance either similar or in favor of 1080Ti. Remember you can OC memory, but not amount of Cuda Cores. I am no expert, but after hearing opinions of more knowledgeable people my opinion is that if you don't care about RT (and damn you shouldn't with this generation of graphics cards) then 1080Ti is superior. Even if we are unsure about performance then (at least in my country) it is superior in price.

Dont get new cpu cooler, if you'll want better temps then invest in some liquid metal and delid your cpu. It will be a fraction of a cost of a new cooler and your temps will decrease significantly.
