Hello all, my build is in my sig.
I have two options, just wondering what you think. As I got the 4070Ti, I've been able to game at ultra with ray tracing, exactly what I wanted (upgraded from AMD cards, first time with NVidia now in a decade, only due to tracing). But I just see my CPU is an old part so I am wondering if it's worth the upgrade these:
1. CPU to either 5800x or 5800x3D. This machine is not only for gaming, but for everything, so would I be losing a lot going with the 3D or is it the only way to go?
2. RAM - will go with 3600mhz CL18 2x16GB, worth it? Or just add 2x8 at 3200mhz?
3. A pci-e4 2TB Samsung 980pro to replace the 1TB pci-e3.0 (I would get a pcie card to hold the current 1TB drive with 4x speed)
Is any of this worth it? As I game, I get over 100fps with ray tracing, all on ultra, with DLSS, sometimes even without DLSS, on 1440p and have no plan for 4k in the foreseeable future. In Valhalla for example, my GPU is only using 50% at ultra at 1440p so I figure there is room for a better CPU, in Hogwarts Legacy I get stutters, that may be due to ram, or just bad game as most people are complaining about this.
The other alternative is to do nothing, and wait for a year or so, and get the next gen AMD platform when it comes out (not this first gen), then sell my current rig with an older video card (no way I'm upgrading that again, but I have a Vega 56 and a couple RX580s lying around)
If I go with the above options, I won't upgrade for 3 years probably, compared to the last option of upgrading the whole rig in a year and sell the current rig.
Thanks for any opinions.
