Need assistance with 240Hz Overwatch?
You’re facing stability issues with your current setup, especially aiming for smooth 220fps. It sounds like your CPU might be struggling under the load, so upgrading the RAM or cooling system could help. The CPU itself isn’t too outdated, just the performance bottleneck. Consider replacing the RAM and/or adding better cooling to improve overall stability.
Track both CPU and GPU performance. If the GPU stays at 99% usage, consider reducing settings. When the CPU stays above 80% in a single thread, the GPU isn't fully pinned, suggesting CPU constraints—upgrading may be necessary for higher FPS. Constant high CPU usage can lead to frame pacing problems, making it less ideal if you aim for competitive performance.
CPU usage is high at 60% while GPU sits at 50%. Core 1 is near 70%, indicating a bottleneck. You might want to increase OC settings. The i7-7700K should handle multiple GPUs, but your 212 EVO has limited usage.
Spotting the right balance between performance and cost for your setup. 5600x could boost performance, but 6 cores might still be sufficient depending on your workload. Considering 8 cores sounds promising, though 3700x or 5800x might offer better gains if you're using new NVENC streaming.
Overwatch supports 5600x for solid performance, but for a smoother stream, 5800x offers more buffer. The 7700K core count isn’t as powerful as today’s chips, so 5800x provides extra headroom.
This offer looks promising. The bundle includes the i9 9900k, Corsair Hydro H100x, and Asus Strix Z390, plus two 8GB RAM sticks at 3200 MHz CL16 for 800 euros. It seems like a solid deal, potentially saving around 60 euros compared to buying each component separately. Whether Ryzen is a better option depends on your specific needs and budget.
