If you had said you also do a bunch of render/workstation stuff with the rig it'd be a tougher call, but the 3600 cores are faster than the 2700x cores, simple as that for gaming. Done.

Posted December 18, 2019 i would go for 3600 for gaming. 6 hyperthreaded cores so it's like a i7-8700..these things crush games...i don't believe you need more than that for gaming for a good while. i use 8700K overclocked and it's flawless across the board. | CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 | | GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC | RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz | | Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 3 VR Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1135624-should-i-get-a-ryzen7-2700x-or-a-ryzen-5-3600/#findComment-13138154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 18, 2019 4 minutes ago, Ad18o said: Is it a good deal though That isn't a buy it now so you have no way of knowing for sure what the price will be when bidding ends. You cannot assume it'll end at $355. So the easier answer is, are you going to watch it for 6 mins to see it get outbid?

It's just really hard to beat the value of the 5700, blower models of it go for $299, and if you're going to watercool and overclock anyways it'll be the same as a 1080ti, with a few more features like image sharpening to cheat out more fps. you can just flash an XT bios on the non XT card as well assuming it has dual bios for easy recovery.

Posted December 18, 2019 Have in mind this is stock for stock, the 1080 Ti gains more than the 5700XT from overclocking. The 1080 Ti is fine and by all means a better GPU, it has more features and steady drivers etc, but I would indeed stay away from bad coolers, only two blowers 1080 Ti are good, the FE and ASUS Turbo due to how they have special vapor chamber layouts It's great if you already have one but if you're buying today do prefer brand new cards and only go for the used one of it's a good model for a good price. 5 minutes ago, Streetguru said: The Pulse is actually down to $329, it's one of the best 5700s, easy to flash the XT bios on it as well, hard to beat in terms of value. OP can afford a 5700XT or a 1080 Ti and you come with a 5700 telling him flashing it's vBios is some miracle? Doing so forces a higher default frequency curve on the GPU and that's it, it does not turn it into a 5700XT all it does is give you a small boost over stock operation thanks to that frequency which can be almost be achieved by simply overclocking the card in the first place.

You should watch the video where LTT reviewed the RX 5700 (and XT) cards, they show just how bad a value the 2060 Super is.
