Should i wait for ryzen 3000 or upgrade asap to 2000

[BlockedTheShot]

I have a rtx 2070 and i5 4690k at 1440p 144hz and while its fine at most games. Games like battlefield 5 do bottleneck in heavy areas. Would it be good to just wait for ryzen 3000 or jump straight to 2000

I'd wait for Ryzen 3000. Comes in 2-3 months likely

It's pretty much the exact week to wait for more information. There's apparently a large meeting with AMD and its partners at the moment going over the 3rd Gen launch.

 

The other little detail is that I was helping someone with a Ryzen build and a lot of the better motherboards are getting scarce, so the cheap ones are cheap and the good ones are expensive at the moment. If you aren't in immediate need to upgrade, I'd wait until May, when we should see the launch. Though, as always, wait for benchmarks.

What day? I heard from an AMD employee that it's today actually (11 march)

Like the guru's up above said, wait it out for couple months and you will get Zen 2 which will compete with the 9900k.

Don't be like me staring at my cart just wanting to click instead of waiting.  Ive managed to empty the cart nightly...barely.  Just wait, I need to replace this FX 8350 but it can wait a little longer.

r/AMD had posts up and people mentioned it. There's been enough rumblings about it and those Singapore leaks were real. We're right in the time frame when AMD would launch anyway. May 1st is their 50th Anniversary, so there'll probably be either a launch event or a soft-launch that day. Though they'll probably stagger things out, but the big thing was apparently the motherboards leading up to this one. First PCIe 4.0 boards on consumer, so the engineering just takes more time.

In reality since you want high refresh gaming as priority you should be after the i7 8700K or wait Zen 2.

Be patient.

 

I almost pulled the trigger on Ryzen 1 in late 2017 but waited for the 8700k to release.

 

Glad I did, zero regrets as I've had excellent performance for almost a year and a half now.

 

Zen 2 might offer a similar experience.
