Im looking for any bottlenecks or future upgrades.

[ConnorB]

Hi! My PC has a:

Ryzen 5 2600 (4.8 GHZ)

GTX 980 ti

16gb 3200mhz RAM

Corsair H60 Water cooler

500gb SSD + 1tb HDD

MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard

EVGA Supernova 650w PSU

 

Are there any bottlenecks? I dont think there is, but is there anything I should focus on upgrading to boost my computers performance?

if you're not noticing any performance deficit, any bottleneck that may exist is inconsequential.

Overclocking is what I'd recommend. Although

if you didn't make a typo here, I'd say you're just fine on the OC front.

Depends on USAGE CASE and Games/Settings also being targeted..

Is it lacking in any way in Games or Applications?

 

980Ti at 1080p is quite fine..

Software/Games Optimization probably playing the biggest role for your machine..

Some Shit games just run like shit, be aware of that.

 

If you play at 4K its a completely different story than a 1080p setup...

What about 1440p? Im looking to upgrade from 1080p 60hz to 1440p 120-144hz. I'd like to keep my games at ultra settings. Would a 980ti work good?

980ti = GTX1070 (give or take 5%)

You'll reduce Ultra for 1440p in AAA Games and chasing 144hz.

1440p 60-80fps is likely,...not 120-144 without reducing settings.

And some games don't scale FPS that well reducing some settings...

 

Ultra is nice, but 1440p 100fps-144fps at Ultra....GTX1070 not so much..

Youll get sustained 60fps don't expect some incredible sh*T to happen lol.

Should I then go for a 80hz monitor? I like to have my games at ultra. I could try squeezing a little more out of my 980ti with overclocking

for shooter games, a 1080p 144hz monitor is the way to go, so delightfully smooth. What types of games do you most often play?

980ti OC is warmer, prepare for that.

 

May not be enough still. Might be for decent results over stock..

The 980ti can clock well in most cases.

But selling it and using THAT CASH+Extra to go towards a better GPU wouldn't be bad advice considering you WANT to keep ultra.

 

Realistically..

Chase Vhigh settings Not Ultra, 100hz+ if you want faster refresh, but depends on what RESULTS you also want.
