R5 3600 Question

I currently have an R5 3600 paired with an RTX 2070 and was curious if I'd see any performance gains switching to a 3700x? I feel like the 3600 is holding it's own but every little frame counts. Running a 34" Ultrawide IPS monitor currently. I play Apex legends mainly but play all kinds of games in general in between my breaks from it. Thanks guys/gals!

Overclock it, throw some fast ram at it and the small gap that's there is basically gone.

Also, I assume you are running at 3440x1440? If you are, you will more likely run into a GPU bottleneck than a CPU one.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

depends on the game, but usually no, upgrading the CPU for more cores wont give more frames.

2440x1080? Not 100% sure at the moment. I did plan on getting some 3600 MHz ram soon. I left it at the factory boost clock because it's running at 4.2 on it's own. Sounds like I'm golden then. Thanks!

if you want more FPS in games upgrade your graphics card...not your CPU :)
