Would Ryzen 2700x bottleneck more than 2600x?

[Chrismantle]

I’m currently upgrading my 2400G, since i recently got a GTX 1080 - my cpu is clearly bottlenecking my GPU, so it is a needed upgrade!

 

when using the bottleneck calculator, it says that there is a 9% bottleneck with the 2700x and the GTX 1080. This makes absolutely no sense in my mind, or am I wrong?

Yeah you're wrong for using that. Can't you overclock the 2400G to 4ghz instead?

If you have the money, go for the 2700x. If this is a pure gaming machine, I would go for the 2600x and save some money. Basiclly you will get slightly better single core on the 2700x, as well as getting 2 extra cores, but if you are doing gaming, a 2600x will do just fine i think, it just comes down to if you need the two extra cores

What motherboard do you have?  The 2700x has a TDP of 105watt vs the 65watt your current CPU has.  I ask because I personally wouldn't pair a 2700X with a  board that has questionable VRMs.

I thought so

I’m currently overclocking my CPU, but it doesn’t help that much. I’ve experienced the bottleneck in AC: Origins and in particular in AC: Odysee . Admitted, both games are maybe not the best to refer to, but my GPU has on average a usage of 80-90%, while my CPU is 90-100% used. Worth noting is also, that the 16 pcie lanes in the 2400G are split equally between the integrated graphics and the discrete graphics.

Thanks for the tip! I’m thinking I might as well go for the best, to future-proof my setup.

I have a MSI B450M Mortar, and a Masterliquid 120L aio cooler. I can’t tell the general quality of the MB’s VRMs, but it has been pretty solid so far.

You wouldnt gain much performance at high resolutions like 1440p or 4k going with a 2700x or 2600x over a 2400g.

 

Not worth the money keep the 2400g it's fine.

Thanks for your tip. Would this be the same for the two Assassins creed games I mentioned earlier? I’m not using the GPU to its full extend in those titles

What's your gpu usage? When running msi afterburner? It's not really worth it unless your playing really cpu heavy games and that would effect minimum framerates more than average maximum might drop less during cpu heavy sections.I wouldnt say those games are really all that cpu heavy they're console games afterall it's not like crysis 2007 pc exclusive lol.They were built with weak tablet cpu's in mind jaguar cores aka ps4/xbox one.

if cpu is the only thing u have to upgrade, then the 2700x for 320usd is worth it, just keep the stock cooler, zen is rumored to be 4.5ghz+ in 2019, not bad if u can hold out either.

[NUKEMDUKEM]

The 2400g is only slightly less powerful than a i7 7700k which is still a damn fine cpu.Id wait a few more years before upgrading the cpu wait for 3rd gen ryzen chips atleast.

 

Btw the 2400g is more powerful than the ryzen 1400.So it'd say your good lol.

What resolution are you running at my friend?  What monitor do you have?

Honestly the 2400g should be good till ryzen 2 comes out next spring, overclock it as far as you can and make sure you have good memory. Performance should be just fine even in slightly cpu bottlenecked titles I'm using a 2600k with a 1070 ti and I haven't had a problem.

[Zeitec]

No. The 2700x is an all around faster CPU than both the 2400g and 2600x. It has a marginally higher clockspeed than 2600x, and a decent clockspeed lead over the 2400g. It also has more cores/threads than both, so yeah. In no way is the 2600x a better CPU than the 2700x. 

 

That being said, I'd just try to OC the 2400g to 4ghz and hold out until Zen 2 in 2019.
