zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

#

#

#

1920x1080

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

dull wren you didnt even say how much you wanted to upgrade for

i havent got a clue on the market now either

#

prices of stuff

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

so, 5600x if 110$ budget
or 5700x3d if 250$ budget

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

usd?

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

bet

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

ahh ok

#

im from australia so ill take a look at prices here

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:04 AM

#

5700x3d & 5800x3d
is like twice as fast as 2600

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:04 AM

#

oh wow ok

#

thats probably pretty good then

#

would i need to switch mobo? or just update bios

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

pretty price worthy upgrade since you got all the other parts already

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

zealous swan would i need to switch mobo? or just update bios

just update bios to latest before switching cpu

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

5700x3d is around 400aud

#

5600x is half that

#

would the 5600x still be a solid option?

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

for sure

#

@zealous swan

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

fuck thats not a bad difference hey

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

minimum fps game compared graph

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

ive just compared the 2600 to the 5600x and thats a pretty solid jump

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

so like
2600 get 70 fps min average
5600 get 120 fps
5700x3d get 145 fps maybe

#

I thought you needed the cpu for games, not benchmarks linusSmirk

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:09 AM

#

hahahaha

#

idk the right metrics to use

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:09 AM

#

3D cache is neat for games otherwise

#

but 5600 do be half price

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:10 AM

#

dull wren so like 2600 get 70 fps min average 5600 get 120 fps 5700x3d get 145 fps maybe

5600 is probably the right option for me since its half the cost of the latter

#

do you think its worth going to 32gb ram too? its relatively inexpensive for me to just get another 2 sticks of the same shit

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:10 AM

#

zealous swan 5600 is probably the right option for me since its half the cost of the latter

but, think how many more parts you will have to change next time want to upgrade, if you don't go big now PagChomp

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

zealous swan do you think its worth going to 32gb ram too? its relatively inexpensive for me ...

see, you clearly want to stay on ddr4

#

& not move on to ddr5

#

surely its going to be 5700x3d Clueless

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

hahahaha to be honest ive just landed a new job and since im going to buy a car tomorrow a brand new pc isnt really the priority any time soon

#

i built this thing when i was 12 and im 18 now its definitely served me well

#

but i appreciate the help brother i think thats sorted then

dull wren Jan 25, 2025, 3:15 AM

#

hehe gl hf!

#

you removed the specs

#

on the first post

#

& the ram is not the same

#

in the list

#

pretty sure

#

as you first posted

zealous swan Jan 25, 2025, 3:16 AM

#

i was about to close the thread

#

i think i posted the wrong ram

#

i honestly cant remember which one

#

ik its 16gb 3200 tho ddr4
