Will getting a better CPU help my frames?

[Thatdude2012]

I have a ryzen1500x. Will switching to a ryzen 2600x help my fps a little? Or would it even matter?

depending on your gpu, resolution, and game, yes.

GTX 1060 6gb+ at 1080p on Rainbow six for example, yes, allot.

GTX 1050/Ti at 1080p on BF5? no.

GTX 1080 at 4k on Metro Exodus? no.

I have a 1060 6gb and a 1080 144hz monitor

Then for AAA games and medium/high settings, it could very well improve frame rates. For esports titles, yes, it will improve frame rates.

It all depends on the game now. but generally, yeah, it would help.

There is no point of upgrading your GPU since your GPU is already strong enough for 1080P domination.

I'm looking to upgrade my processor not my GPU

Yes, but not by much. If you go to 3rd gen there is a more significant improvement.

I think I'm going to go with the 3600.
