Worth to change from AMD 5 2600 to Intel i5 8600

[Jaydelta88]

I just bought a AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with a MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC.

 

Well, I have a GTX 1070 and all the rest of my setup, is it worth to change with a cost of almost 200€ to Intel i5 8600 with a high end board?

 

Thanks!

Damn that was a fast reply

Thanks for ur opinion!

 

I tought I would win some 20 fps on games

Im using it on 3.9GHz on all 6 cores with 3200MHz CL14.

No at all, it would be a waste of money.

You found a motherboard and the i5 for 200 euros? Anyways the answer is no.

With that kind of RAM? Not really

Why on earth would you do that for maybe 10-15% more performance in a few games? Not to mention the loss in multi-threaded performance

Is your display even 144hz? or is it just a 1080p 60hz display?

 

probably just OC your 2600 to about 4.2ghz and call it a day

I just happened to see it on the right side-bar when you posted it, lol.

 

More directly, there's almost no games that could tease out the subtle difference between the two CPUs on a 1070. And you'd be better served selling the 1070 and buying a 1080 for the cost difference.

I agree with the others. Since you already bought your Ryzen, just stick with it and overclock it to the best of your ability. Although the numbers of FPS will be lower, it would be pretty difficult for you to tell the difference if you were to have an i5 8600, since the frames would already be pretty high for both.

had the same Idea but on my country there are no more for sell.

 

Would it be smart to go for a RTX 2070?

Good that u brought that up because u gave me a nice idea!

turn it up to 4.1, the 8600 might be a downgrade in some games.

Then I have to change the cooling, because I get dangerous values if I use more then 3.9Ghz and with closed case.

U see, Im using a Node 202, so, I got 91ºC on the CPU after 30 min of ghost recon, now with open case I get 68ºC at 3.9GHz.

If you can get one for a reasonable price, sure. The differences between the Intel & AMD, for gaming, really take a 1080 Ti and 1080p high-refresh gaming to truly tease out. And that's mostly a clocks issue. Even then, except for a few specific Source Engine games, the difference is under 10% between best clocked AMD and Intel parts. This is why Ryzen is such a good suggestion unless you're spending at least 600USD on a GPU and playing at high refresh rates. 4K could be run a i3 without too much issue.

despite what intel fanboys say amd is a pretty good cpu, I would prefer intel but amd is a good price to performance processor

True.

I saw reviews that the Ryzen 2600 at 4.2GHz can get more FPS then a i5 8500.

So, I can sell or try to sell my GTX 1070 for 320€ since its almost 1 month old, then go to a RTX 2070 that costs 540€... so its 220€ more... in my counts.

Is it worth?

The 2070 is extremely similar to the 1080, but, if you want it, it's a high-end GPU that'll last a good number of years. You might want to poke around to see if any used 1080 Tis are about for the same price, but local prices are local prices.

2070 is essentially equal to a 1080 in terms of fps in games. Thats a REALLY bad investment in my opinion, as the 1070 is anywhere from 70-80% of the performance of a 1080/2070 anyways. Odds are, you couldn't tell the difference if you had two identical computers with the only difference being the GPU. I'd say save your money but if you really feel like you need 140 fps instead of 110 fps, then go for it. Unless you have a 4k or a 1440p 144hz monitor, there's no good reason to do it.

There will always be something a little bit better out there. Unless you're a billionaire, that's a reality you have to accept. Be happy with what you have, instead of constantly throwing away money for a nominal improvement.

 Yes I did. Reconditioned so I didn´t lost money at all. Was just around 300€.

True. But I see that the RTX 2070 is 100€ more then the GTX 1080 so... Have to do a good thinking there, I already closed my minde thanks to u and others of the CPU.

 

I like high FPS, i know many gona say "u can´t see more then 60 FPS" but I can, thats a opinion ofc. I play alote demanding games and I wanna a future proof pc so that I dont need to touch it again for a long time!
