    Ryzen outside of Threadripper, from what I read, is pretty good at backward compatibility.

    As stated bios may need updating to accomodate the new chip, as it didn't exist when the board was designed(?) but should fit in the socket no problem.

    This is the second option. They haven't done anything else for past year AFAIK.

    I don't know your GPU, but my GPU (RTX 970 desktop) stops boosting at 80c and begins to throttle if it doesn't cool.
     
    I would check taskmanager see what is running in the background;
     
    Then check start up; see what is starting up (look for those 'Automatic (delayed)' that screw you over;

    See if anything in windows is a problem;
     
    If not, get DDU (Display Driver Uninstall), remove the drivers, re-install and see if that fixes it;
     
    Get HW Monitor or MSI Afterburner, see what your card is actually doing when under load and see what is happening to the rest of the machine.  See if that reveals anything to you.

    To utilize the cpu, it not about what to do but what not to do:
     
    Simply dont close applications anymore. Run al of it simultainously.
     
    Reason: "because you can"  ( assuming the amount of memory  matches the processor class).

    Dravinianv2 got a reaction from steelo in Working from home - need suggestion on a better 2nd monitor   
    You could get an arm for your desk as well, get a double and mount both monitors.
     
    I did that because my desk real estate was coming under increasing pressure and the ridiculously large base mounts for the monitors was taking up a good 10-15% of my desk space not just the support but the round base and getting anything around them was a pain.
     
    Now I get 100% of the desk space back but get to keep 27" monitors as I can raise the monitors up and place items under them (like focusrite interace, usb musical keyboard etc.)

    In gaming there are no more incompatibilities from the CPU part.
    Game developers spend their time optimizing their games based on which one has the most users, well the facts currently gamers are shifting to AMD.
     
    Core count, the consensus today, games mostly using up to 6 cores, that's why you see many people recommending Ryzen 3600 if you only game.
    Having more cores won't be beneficial in this regard.
    Intel currently has the bleeding edge for it's high clockspeed, which result in better single core performance.
    But the gap is slowly narrowed. And once AMD have the 4000 series it will be a monopoly.
     
    For the performance, upgrading GPU class would significantly increase the performance.

    My very first pc that I built was back in 2014 and used an FX 8350... I ended up building another pc a couple months later on Jan 1st 2015 because I wasn't satisfied with it, the pc I made rocked an i7 4790k, and with that I was sold on Intel. Two years later on Jan 1st 2017 I went to the x99 platform with an i7 6800k, that being a 6 core cpu... Honestly that was a bit of a bad experience with me since for the first month or so I was having a lot of issues like random shutdowns, inability to OC it that much. It got better after a bios update which solved my problems, and allowed me to OC it (which I still feel let down since those ones didn't seem to OC well). I used that system for over two years and I really wanted an upgrade but I felt like I'd get ripped off by going to anything else Intel. I thought 1st gen ryzen was a much needed comeback, but it wasn't to the level where I was willing to jump ship yet. 2nd gen was an improvement over 1st, but I still wanted to wait things out a bit more. To be fair, test results I saw online showed the ryzen 7 2700x outperforming my 6800k in just about every way, gaming included. 3rd gen ryzen was the one that I immediately hopped on board of, I ordered my 7 3700x the first day they went out for sale, which realistically should avoid doing, being an early adopter. There were a good amount hurdles being an early adopter, but it all got ironed out after a couple months. Fastforward to now and I love my 3700x. The 3700x is tied with the i7 4790k as a cpu that I love greatly.

    Usually if the CPU is hindering performance, the more powerful GPUs are more greatly impacted, not the less powerful.
     
    Either way, Ryzen could barely be considered a hindrance (unless you work for userbenchmark apparently)

    Imma not go into details, I've been into Intel for a very long time now, but built my first custom PC with AMD.
    You'll be satisfied. AMD is no brainer >.<

    I've been running a Ryzen 9 3900x for several months now, have not really had any issues with gaming. The only major issue I've had is with Ryzen is Hackintosh, and even then it is only slightly more of a pain to set up. Before this I had a slightly older Intel system.
     
    A few years ago, Intel was hands down better for gaming, especially at the high end. Over the last few years, Ryzen has since caught up and maybe surpassed Intel in gaming performance and performance per dollar.

    my 2 cents...
     
    1.- choose good ram for amd fabric ryzen.
     
    2,. prepare your geek side for bios tweaking.
     
    3.- amd works better for multicore apps, intel is all ipc.
     
    4.-going amd is no brainer.

    Adobe tends to favour Intel CPUs, but it's gotten better. Shouldn't be too much of an issue.
    Intel has higher frequency some of their CPUs, so some programs will like that more than a higher IPC/core count which AMD's Ryzen 3000 has.
     
    In my own experience, switching over to AMD has only brought benefits to the things I do(VMs for schoolwork, gaming, coding etc.). Extra core/thread count really helps, and the frequency thing isn't really an issue for me.
