hey everyone,

this is my first topic here so if it is in a wrong section - sorry.

so i am thinking of giving my PC a little upgrade. 

Currently:

Ryzen 3 1200 (OC @3.8 Ghz)

R9 285 2GB

8GB DDR4 RAM

 

i bought a Ryzen 3 2200G and a RX 480 8GB.

i have 3 monitors, one is my main monitor for gaming (144hz) and the other 2 are 1080p 60hz monitors. While im playing videogames i also like to watch streams or videos and now i often get problems like blackscreens or stutters when doing that. (i read its cause of the difference in hz, and all monitors are plugged into the GPU.) 

So i was thinking i could plug the two 60hz monitors into the iGPU from the ryzen 3 2200g and my main monitor into the rx 480.

My question: would it be better to run both GPU with the old one fpr the two 60hz monitors and the rx 480 for the main monitor? My thinking is that in that case the CPU wont have "to deal" with graphics output and that way its capable of giving its all for the CPU "part". In that case is it even worth upgrading the ryzen 1200 to a 2200g?

 

What would you suggest?

the cpu and gpu part of the chip function seperately, having no load on the gpu might help the cpu boost slightly higher but not by much.

A r3 1200 oc will perform almost exactly like the 2200g.

First go into the settings and change the framerate of your 144hz monitor to 60hz and see if you are still having problems, not 100% sure that it is differnce in hz that is causing the issues.

Honestly, you would been better off just going all-in on a GPU upgrade. Because the 1200 with an OC really isn't all that different from a 2200G.
