Find a CPU compatible with your 2080 graphics card.
Current configuration: RTX 2080, AMD 2600X16GB RAM, 3000MHz, B450 Aorus Pro board, 750 gold PCIe slot, 1440p display at 144Hz. My CPU has been limiting my GPU performance since I switched to a 144Hz monitor; I need a faster CPU soon. Assistance needed to find a suitable CPU that fits my 2080, considering my average motherboard isn’t great and doubting 5000-series support. Also, I’ve noticed Intel CPUs are inexpensive and could pair with a better board for similar prices.
Consider 5800X or opt for Intel i5-11600K paired with a Z490 board.
It should cover it, provided the BIOS is upgraded to accommodate the 5000 series chips.
It varies with the titles you play. For 144Hz it works well for most games. Your motherboard isn’t a concern. Aorus chips usually aren’t outstanding, but their VRMs hold up. The 5600X uses similar power to the 2600X, so performance shouldn’t drop.
