Should I save up for a monitor or a CPU for a 6700xt setup?

1 : Anonymous2021/06/13 17:30 ID: nz1edy

A friend of mine is asking if I'm willing to trade my 5700xt for his 6700xt hell hound and 100 bucks for better hash rate. (Unit is in a good condition)

Currently I have the following setup below:

Ryzen 5 2600x

Sapphire 5700xt

16 gb of 3200 mhz ram 8*2

650 watts CX from corsair

If we continue the transaction, Should i save up for a 1440p monitor or a 5000 series CPU?

Currently I have a 1080p 144hz monitor. I play Most type of games except FPS Multiplayer.

O have a 6700xt, a 6700k and a 1440p monitor 165hz. Most of the time i feel ok playing games, but sometimes I have CPU bottleneck issues, but since your CPU, is better than mine, i Guess you should choose the monitor.

I'd go for a great monitor and then wait for the next CPU release cycle... Though that would also mean a new motherboard.

and maybe even new DDR5, or paying a lot more for the cache stacked zen3 if we end up getting that.

Depending on what motherboard he has, he might need a new one right now even to jump to Ryzen 5000. I just swapped from the 2600x to the 5800x and my motherboard could only be updated to support as far as Ryzen 3000.

Yeah, only make the jump for Zen 4. It simply isn't worth the price to upgrade to anything right now, even if it was at MSRP.

I would go for a 5600X to actually get everything out of your current GPU and then being able to upgrade your GPU to basically anything released in the last/next 2-3 years without issue.

I would swap for that and get a 5600/5800x and then upgrade your monitor later

Oops my bad. Already corrected it.

Not exactly the same setup, but my 3600 and 3070 go great with a 1440p 165hz monitor. You should look for an IPS 1440p 144+hz monitor and see if you can find a good deal! I got mine on sale so hopefully you can too.

Also, try overclocking your RAM a bit. It could help your CPU.

I wouldn't worry about the 1440p monitor, there nice I am using one now but there not the end all be all some people make them out to be. I certainly wouldn't splurge for a 144mhz refresh rate.

I upgrade my CPU 2500x isn't a bad processor but when I moved to the 3600x I could notice a difference. That was with a 2070super. As far as the videocard goes that seems like a fair deal if its in good condition. I know read that the 5700xt mine better so its not uncommon to see people wanting to trade down for them.

I'd go with a monitor. A good 1440p 144hz IPS monitor is going to be SO GOOD, it will be a far more noticeable upgrade for your games, and it will last a lot longer then a CPU. My tip would be to not cheap out on it.

If you would rather upgrade your CPU, I'd just wait at this point. If you have a comparable B450 board then the CPU upgrade option will be there later. If you have a B350 or earlier, then if you wait there will be better options around.

god damn, what a friend you got there 6700xt + 100 for your 5700xt? you don't have to do either imo. most games will become more gpu intensive over time.

Personally I’d go for a CPU, unless you’re already maxing out 144 hz in every game with the settings you like. But then again, I play a lot of competitive FPS games, and since you don’t, maybe a monitor would be a better choice. Increasing Performance on a 1440p monitor won’t depend on your CPU since it’s all additional GPU load.

At those resolutions, monitor.

If you’re going for a 1440p monitor, that should decrease the load on your CPU. Just something to consider.
