Right now I have an RX 480 and a 1080 @ 144 Hz Monitor,
but I feel that mi APU A10-5800K is bottlenecking the other parts,
I want to change the plataform un order to use a DDR4 kit of Ram i bought.
I am thinking on a Ryzen 5 or maybe a Ryzen 3, or maybe an i5 or an i3
what do you guys think?
R5 or i5, depending on how well R5 performs.
FX-9370
An unorthodox choice indeed, and it won't let you have the DDR4, but I bet you can find some lucrative deals now for the CPU and motherboard. That Sabertooth 3.0 is a tank of a motherboard.
Further on, you can argue that it is old and outdated, but on the other hand it's tried and tested, so you know what you're getting. And it overclocks nicely.
As for the bottlenecking, it probably will in some single threaded games and programs. But then again, no matter which CPU you get, it won't be perfect in all case scenarios.
A12-9800
A rare beast, but it uses DDR4, and supports the most of the latest IOs. It's an AM4 chip, so you can wait until the RyZen gets polished a bit, before moving straight onto the new architecture. There've been reports that it also overclocks well. In overall, a good option if you don't want an Intel.
What kit is that? Just curious...
Anyways, wait for R5. Two reasons for that...
1. quad core R5 will be different design than R7, so some issues with the R7 design will not be present in R5 and they should theoretically perform a bit better in gaming
2. by the time R5 comes out, most issues and bugs with the AM4 platform will be sorted, so you will have generally better experience.
And even if R5 isn't performing as well as you need, the i5s are still going to be available.
Wait a couple months for R5 and then watch out for the reviews.
2 x 8GB DDR4 @ 2666 Mhz
Corsair Vengance LPX
Can't go more safe than that. :)
Yeah, wait for the smaller ryzen parts.
Stop giving them money, for fox sake... :D I hate Corsair...
Yes you can... YES YOU CAN...
why so mutch hate? XD
Unless if r5 is clocked over 4.2 ghz with some really fast ram (Ram speed is very important for the ryzen platform unlike Intel) it's not going to beat Intel's current offerings. Per thread performance is EXTREMELY important for 100+ hz gaming. A 7600K or 7700k especially, will be the best choice. Even if I am correct about the mid range ryzen not being powerful enough to be 'top dog' in high refresh rate gaming I imagine it will still be worth waiting for the sake of price drops.
This really, really depends on the game
If you're doing LoL, CS or Dota the GPU almost doesn't matter, and you want an unlocked i5 that you can abuse frequency-wise usually
for other, more demanding games it becomes more complicated
For High Refresh rate 1080p you'll want the superior IPC Intel chips that will undoubtly clock better if Ryzen 7 is any indication of what the lower tier Ryzen 5 and 3 parts will do. Keep in mind Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 quads will just be one of the two 4 cpu blocks in the Ryzen 7 chips, so its unlikely IMO that the quads will be any better at clocking higher. They're made of the same silicon. And its not like TSMC's 16nm process is new or anything either, its been around since like 2015.
I don't game much any more, but before when I was still playing some battlefield 4, my i5 4690k, even on 4.7ghz, constantly had 99% cpu usage all the time while in game, this was on a 144hz monitor with a gtx780. The more fps I was getting, the bigger my cpu usage was. Capping my frames to 60 resulted in allot less cpu utilization. I'm guessing more cores could have helped in that situation.
It is wildly inconsistent from game to game. The Development industry is pretty standards allergic if we're being honest.
also, useage @ uncapped framerates isn't a good indicator of a bottleneck. You're gonna push as many draw calls as the CPU can handle, because that's how uncapped framerates work.
The best solution right now is still the 7700k for high refresh gaming. The IPC and clocks you can push combined with 8 threads make it the king. Ryzen 7 just doesn't clock as high, and I find it unlikely Ryzen 3 or 5 will be able to match the 7700k in terms of gaming performance. If you want an all around system Ryzen still isn't a bad option by any means, but if your using a lot of single-core limited applications, then i7 is still the way to go.
It has to be. If people have been getting 4.1GHz with all 8 cores, 4 cores should be able to hit 5GHz.
You're overestimating by a crap ton. I've talked with people who have disabled cores, only allows for an extra .1-.2 in the rare cases that it even helps at all. 5 ghz is a pipe dream.
What soulfallen said.
Less cores usually means more clock speed.
Generally speaking yes but you honestly just pulled 5 ghz out of your ass because that number made you happy...
I wouldn't say it was a bottleneck really, my hardware was utilized very well, my graphics card had 99% usage as well all the time, buttery smooth 100+ fps, my frames were capped to my monitor's refresh rate. I mean isn't that what you want from a gaming rig? Good usage of your hardware, high frames with no drops. I just wish I had some more cpu, one may want to stream his/her gameplay for example, I don't see how you would do that if your game already eats 90% ~ of your cpu. For example the i7 4790k had no problem in doing that, those extra 4 threads probably come really handy sometimes.
