CPU upgrade

I have recently bought a new 1440p 144Hz monitor but I can not achieve even 100 fps on some games. I looked at the usage and tried different setting like dropping to 1080p but no improvement. Battlefield 5 is the game I play the most right now and I am looking to get into Metro Exodus but I want to upgrade my cpu. I currently have an i7-3820 @ 4.75GHz and I hit 65-80 fps. I would like to stay on X79 mainly because I can not afford to upgrade my motherboard, ram and cpu. I am willing to go into server cpus but I want to hit at least 120 fps and I am willing to OC. I have been looking at 3930k mainly and would that be enough?

if you have a 1070, thats half the problem.

1070 Ti oc performs like 2070 and my gpu is at around 60% usage while my cpu is at 95%

what is your memory configuration?

 

quad channel 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance LP @ 1.6GHz

EDIT: of course DDR3 but just to remind

but will something like 3930K or some server cpu compatible with lga 2011 be enough? If I buy a new motherboard add a cpu and ram and its 400€ for something a bit better in my country. Used isnt much better because there is not a lot of people selling stuff in my country and if there are some they want ridiculous amounts of money like I messaged a guy with some bare bones X99 and not even ATX and he wanted 700€ for just a motherboard. He said that if I would come in 3 hours which was impossible from my location that he would do 650. I just cant afford it now.

e5-1650 v2

 

 

Can not find any around my area and shipping and etc. would absolutely kill me. I would be better off going ryzen 3600/X and x570 + 16GB DDR4. And if I wont be able to OC it will be worse than my current cpu however I will keep it in my mind and thank you for your suggestion

EDIT: I am hitting 6700K stock single threaded and close to multi too on my OC so I would probably hurt my performance if I cant overclock that cpu

How is it possible to not be able to OC the Ryzen 3600? You can't compare Intel and AMD based on the clockspeed, the Ryzen 3600 is about 50% faster then your i7 3820 and 15% faster then the 6700K

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...

I was talking about that xeon e5-1650 v2 and my OC 3820 matches 6700K

Smells like bottleneck to me... x'D

 

Yep, clock ins't everything! In both CPUs and GPUs... if you have doubts, just go to youtube and check some benchs.

CPU: AMD 3700x 4300mhz 1.3v                                                     Cooling: CoolerMaster ML240L

Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS (Wi-Fi)                    RAM: 2x8GB G.SKILL 3600MHz Trident Z RGB CL16

PSU: BitFenix Whisper M 750W 80+ Gold                                      GPU: ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Twin Fan 8GB GD6

Clock isn’t everything but 3.8GHz and 4.75GHz on the same cpu makes a difference

Yeah but you when talk about Intel vs AMD the instruction per cycle does a lot on the AMD part, Intel as to spin way faster to get the same work done, that was the point

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

True, bue we were talking about the ryzen 3600.
