My setup currently consists of a GTX 1080, a Ryzen 5 3500x on a B450 board and 16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM. My screen is a 21: 9 1440P 100Hz screen. I play a lot of esports titles like CS, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege or Fortnite. But also the Assassins Creed titles and other triple A games. Now my question, regardless of the current situation that graphics cards are currently far too expensive, what should I upgrade first, the graphics card or the processor?
The graphics card. For 210 euro you can currently get a GTX 1650.
A GTX 1080 should be much stronger than a GTX 1650.
I do not know that. You would have to look.
Is actually stronger. With such a performance, an upgrade would not be worthwhile, as more powerful graphics cards are much too expensive.
That's why I wrote regardless of the situation, because the whole thing still has time, I'm just interested.
The GTX 1080 hst more power than the RTX 2060 which is good, the graphics cards are just overpriced if you don't want to wait, you get the graphics card first
Yes, it would still be for a new graphics card. An RTX 3070 would be good.
The setup is pretty balanced right now. It is actually sufficient for your purpose. An upgrade would not be worthwhile from a price-performance perspective.
Only the RAM is problematic with its low clock rate. I would try to see if you can overclock it a bit. The Ryzen processors benefit from this.
Would it really make such a big difference in performance if I had 16GB 3200MHz RAM instead of the 2400?
