I am looking to upgrade my cpu, its r3 2200g, a budget and entry level pc o build 4 years ago

 

To me a good gaming experience is in fps. Currently i have a 200 hz monitor i am using.

 

My question is, does fps have to match my hertz? If i buy a extremely expensive cpu like 5900x that guves me 500-600 fps, can i see and feel the difference betweent that compared to a chaper 5600g alternative which gives me arnd 300 fps?

You see,

 

if your Monitor displays 200Hz that is basicaly 200fps,

 

if you have 300fps in game, monitor will display 200fps still, 600fps? 200fps displayed by monitor,

 

the only thing that changes is more accurate framerate, though not even noticable,

 

also fps don't tell the whole story, if you just use fps counter in game that only shows you the average fps, any low spikes in fps could exist which is noticable, - for example if 200 dropped to 60 fps,

 

what kind of game are you playing that would give you such increase in fps from CPU upgrade?

 

are you CPU bottlenecked?

 

in what game are you trying to achieve 300+fps?

Id think you'd be better of getting a dedicated GPU at this point, that will have much more of a diffirence than buying a new CPU with an IGPU.

You'll get a far bigger increase in FPS if you bought yourself a dedicated GPU rather than getting a new APU just for increased FPS. $200 for a 5600G might get you a few more frames but a used $200 5600XT will get you x2-4 that.

Damn Tyler, thinking 2 steps ahead.

 

Well, in that case the GPU is most likely to bottleneck because of that poor 2200G, so a new CPU with bios update could give some nice performance benefits.

 

EDIT: If you get a new CPU a 5600X will be a good option, splurging out for a 5900X is not ideal and you would be better of spending the money you save from such a pruchase on a better GPU.
