looks good.w hat do you do with it and why do you want to upgrade?

If you have to ask the answers is probably no.

 

Tbh the only thing i could think of would be a 144hz monitor.

 I play:

GW2 which there is lag sometimes as I know GW2 is a CPU game not GPU (can correct me if im wrong).

STAR WARS Battlefront II, STAR WARS Jedi - Fallen Order™ (Those are my 2 favorite games) , Diablo 3 (will be getting Diablo 4!! Another favorite),

 

Least played:

Fornite and Witcher 3 

 

The reason why i want to upgrade is when i play GW2, it lags but not bad bad but noticable. I know this isnt a huge reason to upgrade but would like any suggestions for maybe in a year or two

Thats exactly what i was thinking but would i benefit from it since i dont play a lot of Shooter games?

I just checked, yes it is and XMP I don’t know. I checked the BOIS and took a screenshot.

[boggy77]

right so where it says load xmp settings, click on that and set profile 1 and then save and exit. that might solve the lags

increases the memory frequency from the default 2400 to 3000. ryzen benefits greatly from fast memory, so you should see a noticeable difference in reducing stutters

Awesome thank you very much! Just a side note, now i hear the fan spinning which was not an issue before. Is this due to the boost increase?

it shouldn't have changed anything with the fans. let me know if it boots ok into windows and check in task manager what the ram frequency is. (might show 1500, which is ok)

My bad it was not the fans, just some weird noise from somewhere else. Thank you very much man! Opened GW2 and the quality did improve!!

I have a question for you which you might be able to answer and this is side topic but lately when i Tab out of GW2 the pixels change of my background to this. Do you know why?

let me know if the game still lags/stutters or there is an improvement

Update:

I updated the drivers the that pixel issue is no more.

The game no longer lags/stutters! I did a group event and it was crisp! I do hit low 50fps to 60 fps but the graphics/performance overall did increase such as there is a notice!

Now i feel like i no longer need to upgrade because the specs i have are great and perhaps this will solve also my STAR WARS Jedi - Fallen Order sutter problem. Thank you!
