I’m testing the Ryzen 7 3700X with a 6650xt GPU. Would switching to a Ryzen 5 5600X improve my gaming experience? I’ve heard some sources suggest the 5600x is better for games, but how much would it actually help? And is the upgrade worth the cost?
Received about +15% IPC on a 5000 vs 3000, which could boost around 10% speed in gaming or light tasks. Switching from 8 to 6 cores might stop extra gains when fully loaded. It’s not the best upgrade—consider a 5800X3D instead, more costly but with greater performance improvements.
These processors work well together for a solid gaming experience at 1080p.
Sure, it could work well if you upgrade to 5600x or 5800x in the coming years with the 6650xt.
