need some educating

[dreamcast4599]

ok so right now i have a B450 tomahawk motherboard that is ryzen 3000 series ready a 2600 non X and a 1660Ti games i play right now are shadow of the tomb raider AC:odyssey and doom 2016 among some others

 

what im needing educating on is should i upgrade my cpu to a 3600 or upgrade my gpu to an amd 5700 series below are some pix of CBR15 scores my gpu info as well as results from the shadow of the tomb raider benchmark

 

on both SOTTR & AC:odyssey i have to use a mixture of high medium and low settings to get a constant 60fps on my 1080p 24 inch monitor what do you guys suggest also for the AC:odyssey screen shot when i upgraded to 1080p fps went from 78 to 80 on the same settings

How much do you want to spend on a GPU?  Because I think that is going to give you the most noticeable gains while gaming.

You're limited by the GPU, so a CPU upgrade wouldn't improve your gaming experience.

 

Going with the 5700 should give a good uplift in gaming performance. It is quite a bit more powerful.

Then I would focus on saving up to your $400 limit and then re-visit this then and see what prices are then.

The GPU you have is a mid performance part. It's strong enough to play most games at a mix of medium and high settings with frame rates above 60FPS, and should be for a few years.

I'd hang onto the 1660Ti for now. Save money, and see what the next wave of GPUs from AMD and Nvidia are like.

No.

 

AC Odyssey isn't an good metric to base your decisions. It's terrible and runs like trash on everything, and doesn't even look good.

 

Don't base buying decisions on AC as a measure of other future games.

 

It's designed to run at 30fps with low settings and that's considered "good".

 

If you can mostly get 60fps at reasonable settings then you are performing twice as good as intended.
