Hi everyone,
Before I start, specs:
GTX KFA2 1070 (shitty brand, dont buy)
I5 7600k 4,7 Ghz
16 gb 3000 Mhz ram
1080p ips monitor, 60hz
So, I will (hopefully) graduade high school in the next couple of months and will get some money from my parents. I am 16. I will get about 400 euros and want to upgrade something from my setup but I am really lost to what I should upgrade. My gpu, cpu or my monitor. I posted this a few days back and got told to get some benchmarks and say which games I most like to play.
I mostly play big singleplayer games, a lot of them are open world but I play linear games too. I occasionally play online with some friends, but it is nothing compared to how much I play and love singleplayer story type games.
I will get a budget about 400 euro's. I can get a few things with that: A i7 9700k, a rtx 2070 or new really nice monitor. Can be 1440p and also can be 3440x1440 ultrawide. This next thing is important, after this upgrade I wont be able to upgrade for probably about 3-5 years. So I cant get a thing now and get another one in about a year.
Here are the benchmarks:
NOTE: All these games have vsync off
**Resident Evil 2 Remake ULTRA settings, 1080p**
CPU: 70-85%, 50-53 degrees celcius (I will only say degree from now)
GPU: 98-100%, 80-82 degrees
70-90 fps (which I can ofcourse not see because my monitor doest go that high)
**Red Dead Redemption 2, mix of medium, high and ultra settings. (I can give specifics if it is important)**
This one varied a lot, and so there are a few different bechmarks
When in the wild, so places like the heartlands:
CPU: 60%
GPU: 98-100%
When in small towns like Valentine and Strawberry:
CPU: 80-95%
GPU:98-100%
When in the biggest city, saint denis (lot of buildings and npcs)
GPU: 80-95%
CPU: 90+%
FPS, also varies
Heartlands: 50-60 fps
Smalltowns: 40-50 fps
Saint denis: 40-50fps
The cpu was 60 degrees and gpu was 80-83 degrees.
**Witcher 3: Wild hunt**
In velen, so a open area roaming around:
CPU: 50-65% with random 0,5 seconds spikes to 100% once in a while
GPU: 96-100%
Novigrad (big city, full of buildings and a lot of npc's)
CPU: 100%
GPU: 98-100%
CPU stayed about 60 degrees and the gpu about 80 degrees
Now with all that done, which do you guys recommend I get. I dont want to go lower than 60fps, higher isnt a necessity. I also dont really want to drop to low settings. I really want to play at atleast high-ultra with some settings turned to medium. What do you guys recommend me to upgrade?
I appreciate the help btw, thanks in advance. Sorry for spelling mistakes if there are any english isnt my first language.
EDIT: added gpu degrees
