Discussing single core performance, does a lower core clock impact the whole system? A low-core-count processor struggles with smooth GPU operation. What factors lead to this issue and what are the consequences? You're considering switching to 3600 MHz for gaming, as it should improve single-core efficiency. Your Ryzen setup isn't handling the RTX 2060 well in certain titles, and you're planning a RAM upgrade to boost speed.
I wouldn't go ahead unless you're sure your issues stem from it. My 1600 works, but it's slower than yours at 2600.
It's a decent improvement, though not revolutionary. You had higher performance when you bought the 2600 (8700k, 9700k), but you didn't, and the total cost of 2600 plus 3600 might exceed what you paid for the 8700k or 9700k.
No.
I purchased that CPU in 2018; the cost is identical except for an additional $20. I was aware of it, which means a lot of money is being wasted now. Perhaps later I’ll sell the old one. "That money could be saved."
