Cpu CS graphics Card

[NvidiaRTX]

What’s the best cpu for a RTX 2080 Ti? I plan to run Minecraft with RTX when it comes out which only seems to be able to handle 80 FPS with RTX on at 1080p. Also worth noting I’d be using this for VR too.

i'd go for a ryzen 5 3600 or ryzen 7 3700x

If the price ever goes back down, the Ryzen 7 2700x is another good option. When I got mine it was $160, but recently the price has skyrocketed up to $300... If the price does come back down though, it offers around the same level of performance as the Ryzen 5 3600 but you get two extra cores. For now though if you don't have time to wait, the Ryzen 5 3600 or 7 3700x are both great options.

Actually, no it doesn't. It offers the same performance when they're both at base clock, but when you turn on PBO or manually set them to the maximum stable all-core clock, the 3600 trounces the 2700X for anything in the 1-12 thread range of processing, and MATCHES the 2700X for 13-16 thread performance.
