08-30-2019, 04:04 PM #1Hello, I need some guidance on whether to upgrade your current setup or stick with it. Your system includes a Ryzen 7 3700 X with strong performance, an AMD Ryzen 5000, a 5700 XT graphics card, and a solid power supply. You're running office software and gaming occasionally. You're considering adding more RAM, a faster GPU, or a new motherboard. The question is whether it's worth investing in Ryzen 5000 + Radeon 6800X now or waiting a few months for better deals. Let me know your thoughts!

My i9 10900k wasn’t purchased for RDR 2 or Horizon Zero Dawn. My i7 8086k handled them flawlessly. It was bought for Space Engineer and Fallout 4—both nearly impossible on my i7 but smooth on the i9. The main point is clear: if Cities Skyline runs well, you can hold off until it stalls. The trade-off is obvious. My modded titles would crash on a 3700X but work just fine on a 5800X.

As PC titles transition to console versions, tougher difficulty settings require more shots at long range, which feels less enjoyable. What adds enjoyment are encounters with fewer NPCs that can only withstand one shot. The challenge lies in console limitations, which restrict NPC numbers. When replaying, I first check for mods that boost enemy NPC counts. In Fallout 4, a mod can multiply every enemy NPC by any factor I choose. I’ve tried up to ten times, but it creates overwhelming fights that always end in a CTD. At eight times, stability is maintained, but adding more NPCs via other mods drops performance even further. Higher-end CPUs handle five times better, but additional mods increase script load and lower frame rates. On an i7 8086k, I can manage roughly five times before the game crashes. With a 5GHz processor and TVB, five boosts reach seven times; however, extra mods trigger spikes that cause stuttering. This setup involves managing numerous NPCs with scripts, each requiring instant damage calculations. It’s engaging but demanding. I began this process in 2007 with Oblivion, adding NPCs when dungeons and roads felt sparse. I was fortunate to achieve around 20 frames per second then.
