Least possible bottleneck

[Acerrimo]

My goal is too game at 60fps at 1080p but my current setup can't get that. I believe my CPU is bottle necking my GPU but I don't know what cpu would be best to upgrade too if it is my problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Comp specs:

CPU: Ryzen 3 2200g

GPU: AMD 5600xt 6gb

Ram: 8gb 2or

MB: gigabyte b450m ds3h 

PSU: seasonic 500wat

SSD: 1TB SP m.2

What speed is the ram? Is it one or two sticks?

Frequency? Timings ? And is it a single stick or a dual stick?

Budget?

Use a ryzen  3 3100

The ram is 2666 but I have it at 3200

How did you verify that it’s running at 3200mhz and that it is stable? What timings? Is it one or two sticks?

For a cpu upgrade budget nothing above $160 usd. And its stock is 2666 but I have it running at 3200. The ram is dual 4gb

What specific 5600XT card do you have, and do you know if the post launch BIOS update that upped the memory bandwidth and clocks has been applied? Also what games are you playing?

 

I have a Sapphire PULSE 5600XT and I'm easily pulling 60+ fps at WQHD (3440x1440). That's not the best CPU, but I can't imagine it would result in that much of a performance hit.

I have the sapphire pulse as well

Its CL is 16 and its 2 sticks both 4gb

I would suggest waiting. But to answer this question. A 3300x would be a nice upgrade.

Are you sure? How do you know that?

What soc and dram voltage?

They asked specifically about the timings because clocking it to 3200Mhz is pretty meaningless if you had to go to like CL22 or 24 to get there. That's an extreme example, but it's still important info.

The overclock moved it to CL20

Yes that's practically the same latency as a 2666 cl16 kit ( most likely worse actually).

If you can find it. I don't think I've ever even seen it in stock once here in the States.

Fair. Stock here wasn't actually hugely affected.

Okay I'll put it back to stock then. But my main worry was that my GPU wasn't enough cause I just bought it like 1month ago.

It's a decent GPU. 

If you can wait. Then wait for zen 3. Which is what I would go for. If you really need something now. Try finding a 3300x.

Actually I was able to run it at CL 16 at 3200

I was eyeing the ryzen 5 3600 as an upgrade.

If you can find one for 160 dollars sure.

Well on Amazon I can get one for 171 dollars

If you want sure go for it.  If you can wait. Then I suggest waiting for zen 3.

Yeah, it nothing else, the new chips will push the cost of the current gen down. Either way, you win.

So wait for zen 3 then buy the ryzen 5 3600?
