Should i upgrade my i7 3770K with AMD Ryzen 5 2600?

[Giorno Giovanna]

i need help with this one thx.

[ugafan]

i would wait till ryzen 3000 series.

how far have you overclocked the 3770k?
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-2600/1317vs3955

if you can get the i7 close to 4ghz, it wont be much of a difference in games

if you need more cores and threads the r5 will be an improvement

You have to consider the other components; The R5 2600 can be overclocked and still become better than the 3770K, DDR4 RAM is much better than DDR3, and the R5 2600 can handle most RTX cards while old Intel CPUs struggle to handle them in new titles. I see tons of people trying to run RTX cards on 3rd gen Intel CPUs and getting a lot of bottlenecking, but yet nothing on 2600s unless you get a really powerful 2080 or 2080 Ti.

tl;dr I wouldn't keep ancient components that won't be able to handle top tier components (which is the only thing keeping Intel on its feet now)

3.9ghz most of the time.

that will be better no doubt, but i doubt i have the money to buy the ryzen 3000 series tho.

If rumors are true, Ryzen 3 3XXX CPUs will have the same performance of Ryzen 5 2XXX CPUs but cost less. When Zen 2 architecture releases later this year, watch the benchmarks, because Zen 2 R3s have potential to be insane budget gaming chips.

really? well if thats the case then i'll probably wait for a while and in the mean time i'll just stick with my 3770k and 1060 6GB for now.

The article above gives a good comparison of the cpu pecking order. Moving to a 2600 isn't going to do much on most games. Single-thread speed of the 2 cpus is identical.

As for rtx, they aren't different to gtx. I have both and my i7-2600 drives rtx2070 just as well as gtx1080 ti.

If you want a step up in cpu performance, it's still intel.

To check how good your overclocked cpu is, run the passmark cpu benchmark on it and compare it to this list. It should be reasonably close to 7700k performance.

And finally, if you want higher fps upgrade your gpu.

I have 3570K and not upgrading for another year or 2, esp. waiting Coffe Lake out. If that sinks beyond horizon, then the successor of R5 2600 will do.

Don't. There's not a much difference between these two. Save money and buy at least 2700x or when AMD 3rd gen chips hit market buy that.

did you not look at the peak overclock?
r5 is about 5% fater peak oc, nowhere worth the $300 upgrade imho
and it will not hold back top end gpus in games yet

hes not running 3200+ ram which does hurt r5 but not by enough
