Consider upgrading to a higher-end model. Your current setup is handling heavy 3D workloads and rendering, with some renders taking over 30 hours. The cost for an upgrade is about $640, including a 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 RAM and a powerful system. Given your intense workload, this could be beneficial now. Your current specs include a Ryzen 2700X, G-Skill 3200MHz RAM, an ASUS X470-F EVGA GTX motherboard, and a 1080i display.
If you're working, then it's good. It provides a significant performance boost. Just avoid purchasing new RAM unless you need both systems to run smoothly. A capacity of 3200 is acceptable.
I've just moved from the 2700X to the 3900X. Any questions? I might be able to run some bench tests for you if they're available. I don't have the 2700X installed to compare directly.
Upgrading is recommended based on your budget. Consider a 3950 or 3900 model for significant performance gains. Switching from a 2700x to a 3700x or 3800x will improve efficiency due to the Zen 2 architecture, though the boost may not be extreme. For example, moving from a 1700x to a 3700x raised my Cinebench R15 score to around 1750, which wasn't very stable. At a solid configuration, it was closer to 1700. My 3700x now reaches about 2200, a roughly 25% improvement—worth considering for heavy rendering tasks. The extra cores in the 3900 or 3950 could be beneficial once you're in that demanding environment.
