Yeah, I think your right. I'm not too fussed about whether my GPU is Nvidia or AMD because as you say they seem so close in terms of performance that it isn't much of an issue. And with me already having G-Sync it seems like an easy choice to just stick with Nvidia for now.

Yeah, that is what I assumed. Unfortunately for me I bought my monitor just before most brands offered both Freesync & G-Sync on their most recent panels. That is why I decided fairly early on to stick with Nvidia.

Yeah, on that point. My current monitor is G-Sync enabled but not Freesync. Which is why I am planning on going with Nvidia again. But how much benefit would I genuinely get from G-Sync over just having maybe a more powerful AMD GPU??. I feel like I would be missing out on a feature, but does...

Thanks for your help. I think I will keep my CPU as it is right now and see how performance is throttled after installing a 3080. If I feel the need to upgrade then I will make the decision then. Thanks again!!!.

Thanks for all your help, it is very much appreciated. I am currently running an i7 4790K & 1080 GPU. I actually asked the question a few months ago as to whether I needed to upgrade my CPU in order to bother with getting a 3080 or not. I was left undecided and I still am. I suppose the...

Thanks for your reply. I am using a 27inch 144Hz 1440p monitor. As far as RAM & motherboard go that isn't really an issue because I am going from Intel to AMD so I would need a new mobo anyway. I am fairly sure that as of right now the 5600X would be perfectly adequate, and as you say it may...

OK. I am interested in upgrading my PC, used almost exclusively for gaming, so should I go for a Ryzen 5600X with 6C/12T or would I be better off future proofing by instead buying the 5800X with it's 8C/16T??. I am the sort of person who would like to keep this rig for at least 5 or 6 years...

Thank you. Yeah, it is definitely affordable for me to upgrade to Zen 3 this year, so maybe that would be a good option??. I am also open to going with Intel if AMD don't offer the major performance boost we are all hoping for. Whether that would be waiting on 11th gen or just plumping for the...

Thanks for both of your input. Over the past couple of days I have been monitoring my CPU performance and it does indeed reach 100% (across all cores) utilisation on many games, which maybe isn't a sign that I need to rush out and buy an entire new PC straight away, but does point towards me...

Thanks for that. I didn't really want to go through the whole new CPU/mobo process right now, but would have if needed. I will now hold onto my 4790K and pair it with a 3070/3080 over Christmas and then maybe see about upgrading the rest of my PC later next year or possibly 2022. I was just...

Oh sorry, probably should have included some of that information!!!. Yeah, I use the PC primarily for gaming and just basic web browsing. As for the monitor it is a 1440p 144Hz ASUS. The 32GB of RAM was just overkill on my part. I was very new to PC building 5 yeas ago and decided that I...

Hello. I have been running my Intel 4790K CPU (at base clock speed of 4ghz) for the past 5 years. I am currently pairing it with a 1080 but am now planning on upgrading to a 3070 or 3080 towards the end of the year. My question is: should I first upgrade my CPU or do you think it will handle...

Honestly??. I just want to win the new GPU!!!. I will be buying Cyberpunk anyway because I love what CD Project Red offer, but being able to play it in it's full glory with a 2080ti??!!!. It could change my life forever.
