Yes, if I were you, I would also go with GTX 1660. The only thing that's appealing from RX 590 is its 8Gb VRAM (1660 have 6Gb), and FreeSync support if your monitor have it (although 1660 have G-Sync)

As you've said, they're very similar in term of performance. And performance always vary depends on what task it's carrying on. Meaning different game will result in different winner. RX 590 use 175W TDP While GTX 1660 use 120W TDP Meaning 1660 is more efficient in term of performance-per-watt...

1070 is still decent in my opinion. You can hold on with it until 4000 / 7000 series came out. It's really close on release date, but sometimes you just have to pull the trigger to upgrade and skip a series / generation or two.

Have you tried reseating your GPU and RAM? Also if your GPU requires PSU pin, don't forget those too.

Perfectly fine. Valorant is not that GPU reliant, and 4690K is still decent on 2022.

RX 590 is a card released on 2017 GTX 1660 released on 2019 Also take your monitor on to account. Does it support FreeSync or G-Sync?

Agreed with what spentshells said. If you're dead-set on that trade, ask for warranty status. Whether it's international or local, and for how long until it expires.

Yep, definitely CPU It's bottlenecking like crazy

Thank you guys. I think I'll take 5800X3D instead.

Thanks for the explanation. Just checked AMD's official website, and it looks like you're right; disabled PBO doesn't mean it'll be locked on stock core speed (3.4GHz). Although I have one more question. If 3D V-Cache means 3d stacking cache, which also means placing 3 times more cache than the...

Striked the temporary part. It probably would be forever. I thought 3D CPUs (such as 5800X3D) can't use PBO? For the second question: I don't know. Didn't look at task manager when I do all of it. I think I will when I got back home. X570. Seems like the temporary part made a huge...

This might sound exaggerated (or maybe not), but believe me that this is honest to god my situation. I'm not the most tidy person; I keep everything up even though I don't have any use of them for a long moment. I do code, using VSC that sometimes I keep 5 windows of it, and also VS. There'll...

It feels like a waste to switch from 5800X to 5800X3D, since I would also use the PC for multitasking, the performance drop from being unable to use PBO trade off just doesn't appeal to me even though game performance is top notch (unless I'm wrong / misunderstood about something). There might...

I'm thinking of taking an upgrade, which is upgrading to Ryzen 9 5950X from Ryzen 7 5800X. Due to certain temporary circumstance, if I take the upgrade, I can't use PBO / OC on 5950X. So the question is, which is better? 5950X without PBO / OC, or 5800X with PBO / OC ?

it's hard to verify since it could be either the PSU or your electric socket is the main source first thing first, try with changing location for different electric socket, could be different room, or different house / building if the problem persist, it could be your PSU what rating does your...
