Guys my ryzen 3 2200g is bottlenecking my rx570 when I play AAA games, can you suggest me a few other ryzen processors to upgrade to that will not bottleneck my gpu? Preferably not too expensive. Thanks

Target Framerate? Resolution? Ideal budget?

Board you have now?

Location/currency?

Hmm I see. Is the mobo upgrade a must? The processors use the same socket so I thought I’d just stick with the mobo I have right now.

You can stick with the board but the A series boards don't support any overclocking so something to look at down the line just figured it would be something within budget to upgrade at the same time but you can hold off. Also making sure the RAM is clocked to 3000MHz or above is important for Ryzen as well.

Ah ,I do have a problem with the ram actually , it’s 3200mhz and sometimes it causes bsod when I play games, this doesn’t happen when I switch to a different one. Do I need to clock it down to 3000mhz? Sorry if that’s a noob question.

b450+2700 with current prices are the best deal, though u just missed out on the free mhw promo

if you really dont wanna spend 220 then go down to a 2600, but imho a 2700 for 150 is a better deal than a 2600 for 115.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the memory controller on that board couldn't handle 3200MHz RAM and led to instability issues. I could be wrong but just my two cents

aahhh, just 8 gigs of ram? i'd upgrade the memory first, then search for better a cpu, it might even solve your bottleneck problem firsthand.
