[SOLVED] Intel or AMD

[Sbraggia7]

Hey. I am currently running an Intel i7 but am thinking about upgrading. Just wondering what everyone prefers and what runs the best? I have a GeForce gtx 1660 ti right now but am eventually going to upgrade to a 2070 or 2080. Not sure if that matters. Thanks in advance!

If you want best of the best for max FPS, then Intel is a good choice.

if you do any content creation and want more bang for your buck, amd is a good choice.

Which i7 are you using?
What are your display specs and are you planning on using your current display or upgrading?
Since you already have a decent gpu, I'd hold off on gpu upgrades as new gpu's will be out in the next few months.

What’s your full pc spec?
What resolution and Hz is your monitor?
What do you use the pc for?
What do you want the pc to do better? Higher FPS, better game settings, ability to stream?

Not sure if there’s anything else you need to know. I just got this monitor so I’m going to be using this one.

At 59Hz your target FPS is 60. Any modern desktop i7 should have no problem with that but as you didn’t list the full pc spec I can confirm if something else will hold you back and I have assumed it’s a modern i7.

1440p at only 60hz isn't that big of a hurdle.
You still didn't specify which i7 you have. The 1660 ti at present will get you nearly 60fps in most titles at 1440p.
