Ryzen 3 2200g+rx570 vs i5 8400+GTX 1050ti
Your Ryzen 5 processor uses the first generation architecture, matching the older APUs, and your RAM speed significantly impacts its performance due to core-to-core latency. This means low latency and high bandwidth memory are crucial for optimal results. Your friend's CPU performs much better, especially in CPU-intensive esports games, giving them a clear edge. Faster RAM paired with the 2200G will noticeably boost overall speed.
The Ryzen setup could offer a marginally superior GPU, whereas the Intel model provides a noticeably stronger CPU. Lower resolution tends to depend more on the CPU. I’d still look into their pricing before deciding.
I attempted to boost my RAM speed to 3200MHz on CL17, but performance didn’t improve until I changed it to CL15.
The overclock didn't work as intended. It would sometimes restart to the default speed despite being set. Getting a stable 2133 kit at 3200 was also challenging.
The i5+1050ti is priced at 385 USD in India, while the Ryzen 3+RX570 costs 250 USD. Since you’re focused on performance and already have the Ryzen setup, consider the upgrade options.
