Hey guys, I have a very good machine, but after seeing jays video i'm not too sure anymore lol.

I'm running a ryzen 9 3900x cpu with 32gbs of ram at 3200mhz, x500 mobo, 1440p 144hz

 

 

 

every cpu has a bottleneck with 144hz on some games atm, eyes on zen 3, hoping the gap is big enough to justify upgrading.

What in jays video made you question anything?

 

If you go to a 3080, your going to gain massive FPS. Will you gain as much as someone with a 10900k? Maybe not - but you will be very close, likely within 5-10%.

 

So in that situation, assuming that is the reality, you will still net (assuming you have a 2080 now) about 60-80% improvements depending on the game. Its possible it wont scale quit as well, but we just need to wait and see some benchmarks when it comes out to be sure.

 

I am sure you will be fine. Yes, your CPU is a bottleneck, but its a bottleneck now....

every pc has a bottleneck by definition :P

 

wouldnt hurt to have some faster ram, you can narrow the gap between ryzen and intel a lot with some b-die or e-die dimms. not that it matters (currently) at 1440p, just about every game is gpu limited at that resolution. the difference between a 3600 and a 10900k with a 2080ti at that res should be under 5% which should not be an issue

topics i need help on:

Spoiler

 

 

my "oops i bought intel right before zen 3 releases" build

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (placeholder)

GPU: Gigabyte 980ti Xtreme (also placeholder), deshroud w/ generic 1200rpm 120mm fans x2, stock bios 130% power, no voltage offset: +70 core +400 mem 

Memory: 2x16gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3600C16, 14-15-30-288@1.45v

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S w/ white chromax bling
OS Drive: Samsung PM981 1tb (OEM 970 Evo)

Storage Drive: XPG SX8200 Pro 2tb

Backup Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 4TB

PSU: Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 750W w/ black/white Cablemod extensions
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark (to be replaced with a good case shortly)

basically everything was bought used off of reddit or here, only new component was the case. absolutely nutty deals for some of these parts, ill have to tally it all up once it's "done" :D

Every CPU will hold back a 3080 at 1080p and 1440p. The 10th gen Intel i9 is the fastest gaming CPU money can buy, faster than anything Ryzen has for gaming. Even the i9 will hold back a 3080 at those resolutions. When you move to 4K, the GPU will then become the limiting factor. Really is a moot point. Your monitor is your real limit. You have a 1440p 144hz monitor... the 3080 in your system will be more than enough for that.

 

Ideally, more and more titles support Ray Tracing, which is where the power of the 3080 really comes in.  The 3080 really won’t even break a sweat at 1440, but when you turn on Ray Tracing, that’s when you really utilize the power.
