Need help deciding what CPU to get AMD or Intel

[Laponac]

So not so long ago upgraded from Gtx 1070 to gtx 1080ti and there is fps improvment but i think cause of my not so great CPU i am not getting as much as i could with gtx 1080 ti.

First of all here is my current setup:

GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700x
RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 2400mhz
Cooler: Coolermaster TX3 EVO
MOBO: Gigabyte AX370-Gaming 3
HDD: 2.5TB Toshiba
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 250GB
PSU: Coolermaster Master Lite 600w

 

And easiest thing for me was just to upgrade from 1700x to 3800x (hopefully wouldnt have to change MOBO since they are same socket). But i cant find many people with simular setup to compare to mine online. 

But for some reason i fear i wont get much fps boost switching from 1700x to 3800x and that the change will be just 20fps more which is not what i want. So i started comparing 1080 TIs setups from other streamers (i will be using my PC to stream too) and since i will stream mostly Apex Legends i started looking into what CPUs and what FPS some of them are getting when streaming. And i saw lots of streamers (that are not using streamer PC seperatly) use i7 8600k/8700k and they get about 60-70 fps more then i do with same gpu. When i stream avrg is about 110-120 i think, sometimes it can drop to 90 and sometimes it can get to 150, i am using 144hz monitor on 1080p, and streamers that used i7 8600/8700 are not going bellow 150 fps, ever, and are on avrg 190-200 fps. So could i expect same results with 3800x? Should i go for 3800x with my current mobo or i7 8600 + new mobo?

what games?

 

also your ram speed is not so fast, an overclock there would help. Fast ram speed is important for high refresh rate gaming

i recommend you spend your money on faster ram, atleast 3200mhz ryzen processors perform much better with higher speed ram.

if you are to upgrade your cpu to a 3800x you will see significant fps increase, but you will be limiting your processor if you dont upgrade your ram

also high ram speed is needed with ryzen processors, they perform much better with 3200mhz+

Ive only done comparing with streamers that are playing Apex Legends. But other than that i just play World of Tanks and PUBG from time to time. 

What should i overclock my ram to then?

where you playing the same games as those streamers when that happened?

also if you upgrade to a 3800x you should see significant frame rate increase due to faster speed

 

Yeah the only game ive done comparing to is Apex Legends. Streamer with 8700k hit minimum 150 that ive seen and holding avrg of 190-200. I didnt find any streamer with 3800x and 1080 ti to stream Apex.

yeah theyre probably running pre-built systems, they rarely run amd.

but i edited my post, didnt see your ram speed. you need to upgrade your ram to atleast 3200mhz

doubt you can overclock to 3200mhz...

Would it be safe to overclock it to some extend and save myself from buying new ram stick?

you need more than one ram stick, and you wont be taking advantage of your processor if you upgrade... or even rn your performance could be better

Okay i just tried something not so smart. I clocked the ram to 2800 and increaded voltage from 1.20 (that was stock i guess) to 1.5. And i just got massive fps boost, above 50 fps

I am just testing it more to check out if its stable. Will let you know what happens

1.5 volts is ok for ram

[Laponac]

Good then haha. Cause ive been using it since then and still no sign of it being unstable. Good i guess
