Question about amd ryzen 7 3800x and rtx 3070
Hello, I just wanted to check if the Ryzen 7 3800X is suitable for the RTX 3070 or if it would be better to downgrade for better performance.
Many of these games aren't too tough. But if you aim to play the newest MS Flight SIM effectively, you should pay more attention to RAM. The 3070 comes with its recommended "Ideal" VRAM at 8GB, while the 3080's 10GB would be excessive. Still, they suggest 32GB for the best performance. If you choose to add another pair of RAM sticks to complete all four slots, it’s best to get the identical dual-stick package if it’s still in stock. This ensures your PC uses the fastest RAM speed and timing settings. It looks like the only Corsair 3800 DDR4 RAM available right now is 8x16GB units. The next option could be a similar model with 4000 speed. Newegg has a Vengeance LPX 2x8GB kit for $150, but you haven’t mentioned your current model.
Here are some options you might find useful:
- G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 – a bit more with RGB option
- G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 – the most affordable, brand doesn’t matter if it works
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with stock cooler
- Samsung EVO 970 Plus with 500GB boot drive and a Steam game drive
- Upgrade to a Noctua or AO water cooler for your CPU after a few months
- Your budget is around £1600, aiming for about £2000
- Consider changing your UK account settings on the top right button near the 3-line menu
- You can purchase a motherboard without a BIOS update and it should work out of the box for around £100 at an ATX price
