Is this setting suitable for 1080p at 240hz?
Hello, I'm thinking about upgrading from my current setup of Ryzen 5 5500 + RX 6650 XT + 16GB RAM 3200 to a Ryzen 9 5900x + RX 7800XT + 32 GB 4000 RAM. I'm not sure if this would be too much for 1080p at 240Hz, but either way I plan to upgrade and if it feels excessive, I'll consider a monitor upgrade to 1440p soon.
For what purpose are you asking this? I'm thinking games, as that's the usual topic...
No requirement for a dual CCX Ryzen setup, combined with Windows' thread scheduler, though it's better now, it still has occasional issues with the dual CCX chips.
What is the make, model, and age of your current power supply unit?
the corsair cv550 has been running for a year, but upgrading is definitely on the table since the power requirements of the pc will increase significantly.
Each AMD CPU is made up of CCXs, known as Core Complexes. Certain models such as the 5800x/5700x use just one CCX, indicating eight cores are packed onto the chip. More powerful chips like the 5950x contain two CCXs, each with eight cores, resulting in a total of sixteen cores. On a single CCX CPU, latency remains minimal. However, larger CPUs with two CCXs require communication between them, which introduces additional latency. While a 5800x using one CCX might perform better in gaming compared to a 5950x, it may not be as effective in many games. Most titles tend to prefer the single-core performance of the 5950x. It remains a solid and fast CPU.
For the RX7800XT, consider pairing it with a suitable CPU that matches its performance needs.
No if's and 'but's. It stands out as the top gamer in Zen 3. While it doesn't excel in every title, it performs well in most. It's roughly 5% slower than the original 5800x, but remains a solid multitasker. Streaming during gameplay won't be an issue. The improvements include quicker frame rates and better 1% lows, showing the game's smoothness.
