Hello, your RTX 3070 performance is quite limited at only 52 FPS on demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2. Considering your current setup with 16GB RAM and a mid-range CPU, upgrading the GPU might not significantly boost frame rates. Instead, focusing on a more powerful CPU and better RAM could yield better results. Alternatively, moving to a third-generation Ryzen processor paired with higher-end RAM would likely provide a noticeable improvement.
The PSU seems a bit insufficient for a 3070. Nvidia suggests a minimum of 650W. At 1440p, users report around 70 fps in reviews, making a CPU upgrade potentially worthwhile. It’s better to keep the Ryzen if your motherboard allows it. Don’t overthink the RAM, as it wouldn’t offer much value compared to cost.
The seller says the card didn't draw much power even during spikes when using a 600W PSU. They haven’t had problems so far, but they plan to upgrade their PSU later. Would switching the CPU to 3500X help, especially since those chips are often out of stock?
The 3500X is exclusive to China and offers half the thread count compared to the 3600, yet costs only marginally less in stores. The 3600 remains the superior choice. For a comparison, GN released a video highlighting the distinctions between the two models.
They definitely have 3500X available in my country, while 3600 is frequently out of stock. From this site, I could achieve 65.4 fps on Red Dead Redemption 2. Now I'm not sure whether to upgrade to an Intel CPU with a motherboard or just purchase the 3600XT, since both seem priced similarly if I choose one.
For gaming needs, moving to Intel or upgrading to a 5600x would be best. A refurbished 8700k, 9700k, or 10600k setup usually offers better value than a 5600x.
