Comparing the i5 9600K and the Ryzen 5 2600X highlights their distinct strengths.
I'm moving from an i5 8400 because it's not keeping up with VR. I enjoy many CPU-heavy VR titles such as Blade and Sorcery. Which one would be better to upgrade? For the Ryzen option, you'd need a new motherboard but I can get the Gigabyte A320M-S2H for £50. Since Ryzen 5 2600X are budget-friendly, pairing them together is about the same cost as an i5 9600k. Considering other details: Vega 56 with 12GB DDR4 at 2660mhz, 2TB HDD, and a 120GB SSD on your current MSI H310m Pro-VH TXM 750W PSU. Decide what you need most!
You're struggling a bit in either direction. 2666mhz RAM isn't ideal for Ryzen, and it's a less powerful CPU. Switching to the 9600k won't let you overclock it, which means some performance loss. The A320 boards are also not great, and I wouldn't invest that much for them.
I looked into the comparison and saw that a 9600k Vs OC 9600k difference isn't substantial. It might not change much in terms of performance.
you're facing challenges with performance and stability when playing Blade and Sorcery on different hardware setups. Your older 1060 with 6GB memory handled it fine, but upgrading to a 9600k and 2070 with mods worked perfectly. When using the same mods on a laptop with limited RAM (3GB 1060 and an older i5), the game ran well in-game, though loading times were a major issue.
It seems the CPU usage fluctuates significantly based on enemy presence. Even with just one mod installed, it runs around 70% when there are no enemies and spikes to over 90-100 when enemies are active. This inconsistency causes noticeable lag. Any suggestions?
It seems like you're asking about a mod and suspect there might be an issue. Could you clarify which mod you're referring to?
