its called cpu bottleneck... time to upgrade that too! 5700X3D or 5800X3D ideally.

The direction tells you... the direction

What are you trying to play? I had a 2700X, faster than your 1700X and that was a bottleneck for my RX 5600XT. In Apex Legends I went from 80-100 fps to 144 minimum just from upgrading my 2700X CPU to a 5800X3D whilst graphics card stayed the same.

 

Identify what's slowing you down first of all by playing around with graphic settings in game. If you go from all low/off to high/max and fps didn't change; CPU bottleneck.

Hey i just upgraded my gpu from a gtx1070 to a rx 7600. but it seemslike i dident gain anything from it? what could be the possible issu here.

rest of my specs

-x470 ultragaming

-16gig ddr4 ram

- ryzen 1700x

can you give us some of the games, resolution, fps numbers etc. Without all that though, it seems like your processor is just too old for whatever you're running.

Sounds like your processor is holding you back. Check CPU utilization while gaming; I bet your 1700X will be at 100% while the new GPU is just plugging along.

 

You're lucky with your X470 board though, because with an updated BIOS you'll be able to use pretty much any AM4 processor. Anything from the Ryzen 3000 or 5000 series with at least as many cores as you have now will be a noticeable improvement.

 

What's your upgrade budget and what country are you shopping in?

I really dont have the money for a New processor but would say around 200-500€ and shipping to finland

That's pretty much a pointless sidegrade, only about 20% difference. But if you see no difference at all, then yeah the CPU is likely the problem instead.

That game had issues with AMD CPUs at launch too, don't know if that's been fixed.

I see a bunch of Ryzen 5700X CPUs on eBay Germany for under 200 Euros. Not sure how much shipping would be for you.

 

If you needed more multicore performance, the 3900X is under 200 Euros on the used market as well.

 

The Ryzen 5600X would also be a solid upgrade for you, looks like they're going for between 100 and 125. It has two fewer cores than your 1700X, but its cores more than make up for it because each one is much faster.

 

The 5800X3D is the best gaming processor for AM4, but it's going to be near the top of your price range.

+20% ? TPU says +60%

1070 is pretty ancient now...

Re HL I had no issues on my AMD CPU but it was not a Ryzen 1000, was a 5900X at that time

Sorry to bear bad news but Ryzen 3600 being the recommended means your CPU is two generations too old for an enjoyable experience. Your motherboard's good enough for a 5700X3D so you should now know what your next upgrade needs to be. Don't go lower than a 5600. 

 

Just also confirm you're not running in laptop power mode but full desktop or running the game off an HDD, SSD is the minimum for modern games due to asset streaming and nothing's overheating. You'd be surprised how often these three issues were the cause.

Zen1 single core performance is similar to 4th-5th gen Intel iirc, which is pretty slow by today standard and Zen1 memory speed/latency also quite shite.

The RX7600 is about 60% faster than a GTX1070 if i recall correctly , wouldn't really call a 60% uplift a sidegrade.

 

That's roughly the same difference a 4090 has over a 3080ti and I don't think anyone would bat an eye over that.

There is zero benefit for gaming in going past 8 cores right now.

 

The 9800X3D is the fastest gaming cpu full stop , The second is still the 7800X3D....both 8 cores.

Unfortunately, there's only so much a gpu upgrade can do. As you can see *here*, the recommended config for 1080 is a 3600 + 5700xt. Your 7600 is a lot more performant than the 5700 but that cpu is just not gonna cut it. Apart from dropping the settings, there really isn't much else to be done. If am5 is too expensive, then the 5000 series, particularly the x3d chips, would probably be your best bet. And like @venomtail said, don't go lower than the 5600. The 3000 series is also ok but is probably gonna start showing its age as well.

Which is why I said "if" they needed more multicore. 😉
