Hello all.
Here is my thing. I upgraded my 11 year old i7 920 with a Risen 3600. I figured that it would be a significant speed boost but .... as far I see now, it isn't.
I am not an harcore gamer but if I play, for example world of tanks, then I see no difference at all in fps. Yes, the game does seem to run a tiny bit smoother but not in a way that it would justify the 500 bucks spend on a new computer.
Old specs : i7 920 with 12 gig ddr 3 and a gtx 960 running on a x58 chipset
New specs : Ryzen 3600 with 16 gig ddr 4 and the same gtx 960 running on a x570 chipset
I was kinda hoping for a good bang for my bucks but right now I am regretting I have spend so much money. Is my old i7 still so superior or ?
Any ideas or advice? Thank you in advance
