Seeking recommendations for a CPU upgrade
Seeking recommendations for a CPU upgrade
I understand, I'm here to help. You're considering which B450 model suits you best, especially since you're from Australia. The 2600 and 3600 options might differ based on your needs like recording or streaming. Let me know if you'd like more details!
Certain games rely heavily on the CPU rather than utilizing the GPU fully, meaning a CPU upgrade may not be required.
3600 offers quicker performance and can maintain high frame rates. 2600 provides a lower cost while keeping the same 6-core setup as the 3600, so it doesn’t slow down significantly during multitasking (though video encoding should ideally run on the GPU).
The issue goes beyond simple bottle neck problems. Running at 144fps isn't smooth in most parts of the game, which means I'm not getting the best performance from my monitor. It's frustrating because it feels like I'm missing out on a great experience. The GPU struggles to reach 60-70%, likely because I cap the FPS to avoid overloading it. This is why upgrading the CPU is the main priority for me.
