I need to weigh my current setup against two upgrade paths. The first involves swapping everything except the GPU, which costs a lot but offers significant performance gains. The second keeps the existing hardware while adding a liquid cooler and more RAM. Deciding depends on budget and how much I value each component.
The goal of this upgrade is to enhance performance and efficiency. It’s not just about increasing storage; it’s about ensuring your system runs smoother and handles tasks better. If this is your first time considering an upgrade, please clarify the need so you can tailor it to your needs—64GB is a solid amount for most average users.
I participate in a game called FiveM, a multiplayer adaptation of GTA 5, requiring graphics enhancements. I also need to capture the session, but currently without recording, my performance drops to 60-75 frames while CPU stays near 90% and memory hits almost full. When trying to record at 40-50 frames in 720P with OBS, quality remains low.
It looks like a CPU upgrade might be better right now instead of a GPU boost. Still, it really depends—better hardware could help a lot, especially with cooler temperatures. Recording mainly uses the CPU, so performance issues seem to come from there. Game graphics are more affected by the GPU, and upgrading everything isn’t possible for 500 (after subtracting what you need). In my view, 64 cores might be too much, but if that’s what you’re after.
I didn't intend to upgrade my GPU, but your guidance is useful!
