Hey there! You're weighing up a few options for your next upgrade. I see you're aiming for at least 100 FPS while gaming. You're considering starting with the CPU, then moving to the GPU—GTX 2080 Ti or RTX 3070 seem like solid picks. The i7-9700K is also an option, but you should think about how long it might last under heavy load. Keep in mind market trends and what’s available soon. What do you think?
True! But that new 3000 gpus gonna bottleneck the shit out of my 4790k, and considuring that i cant OC more then 4,6 and thats with no thermal throtlle. The reason why i wanna upgrade is because i experiance dips in fps(stutter) and wierd crashes that i cant relate to something more the mobo possebli. Maby just best to like what i got and wait
You're set to get a 3080, here are your choices:
1) Keep the 3080 and use it for a while, then upgrade to a Ryzen 4000 once the 4790 is available.
2) Stick with the 3080 and get a Ryzen 3000 series; it might still limit performance but you can miss out on the 4000 series as it arrives.
3) Wait longer for better cards or a new motherboard, then consider the 4000 Ryzen.
I actually leaning towards buying a gpu sooner and then wait for new mobo and cpu. But im thinking, do i really need a 3000 series gpu when my target is over 100 fps 1440p, If i can keep that fps for a couple of year im fine with that. And instead buy a 2080 ti for a good price soon when everybody wants the 3000 series?
I would avoid the 2000 series unless it's very affordable. The 3000 series offers strong RTX performance that really motivates me to upgrade.
Absolutely, I'm excited to review those benchmarks using 3000 series cards and build on that foundation.
