Hello, I'm looking for a help as I have upgraded my cpu from ryzen 5 2600 to ryzen 5 5600x(I'll put specs below) and there is no difference in performance at all. I turned on PBO without any oc. Please help me as I have no clue at all.

Bios is updated as all the drivers. Gpu when gaming at 80c and cpu barely 65 cooled with corsair.

Motherboard: Asus b450m-a
Memory: 2x8gb 2660mhz
Cpu: Ryzen 5 5600x
Gpu: Nvidia RTX 2060 6gb

PS. please don't mind my nick as I don't mistake somehow when I created account 🤣

I just want to upgrade my pc. I will wait with upgrading GPU then. What do you thing about getting some decent memory like corsair vengeance or mobo for something different?

I think your mobo is lower end so you could upgrade if you wanted to. I really don't know why you would though, it wouldn't give you any improvements in gaming. I mean if you want to OC and need better VRMs then sure, but other than that there isn't much of a point. The mobo just dictates what parts you can use in your PC, its up to those parts to actually get the job done. Same goes for ram. Sure you'd get marginal gains in CPU performance and maybe you'd gain a few frames in some games but nothing noticeable. I'd suggest focusing on the GPU if you want a...

What games?
What resolution?
What game settings?

If the gpu isn’t strong enough to utilise the extra cpu performance you won’t see any gains. You will only see a gain if the 2600 was the component limiting performance.

Games like COD WARZONE, EFT, COD BO, all games tbh
I play 1080 in all games
Cod Warzone competitive low/medium is at about 110-90fps, EFT 60-70fps

Run 3dmark and see if your cpu score is in line with what you should expect from your processor you are getting increased performance, just a different component is the limiting factor. Id assume that either a your ram has become the limiting factor or noe your gpu is. If I were you id do some research on bottleneck percentage for your cpu and GPU and see what they say. Compare that with your old cpu and GPU and see what it's like. If assume youve gained a few frames just not that many.

Regardless of the issue ryzen cpus should be paired with fast ram. It’s mostly common knowledge, but to you it may be a random suggestion

It helps where cpu single core performance is the limiting factor. That has been ruled by upgrading the cpu to one with a higher IPC and seeing no gain. Yes RAM of 3200-3600mhz with low latency will offer a higher potential FPS but is assumes there are no other limiting factors.

Awful suggestion. Do not do that. Bottleneck calculators are meaningless garbage

I'm not saying they're perfect. I'm saying treat them like user benchmark. Not good for being incredibly accurate, but decent enough for a quick comparison. The idea is if there is a hypothetical little to no bottleneck with older cpu then there should be little to no expected gains. I highly recommend running 3dmark and comparing scores tho. That will let you know for sure if your cpu perf increased. (Cinebench would be just as goof if not better for this.)

Also about the ram, you could try ocing it a tad. Try to push it to 3600 if possible if not then just as high as it'll go. Before doing this however, familiarize yourself with the location of your cmos reset jumpers so that you can quickly reset the cmos if needed. (I panicked the first time I tried, ripped my cpu out bending the pins and forcing a purchase of a new one.)

If I may ask, what about this post lead you to downvote it? It doesn't really matter I'm just curious.

Looking at several Ryzen memory scaling articles, at least for Zen 2, while you can show that memory speed can have a somewhat appreciable impact to performance, appreciable bumps are few and far between. If anything, I'm calling that the Ryzen 2600 was good enough for the RTX 2060 and the previous setup was GPU limited to begin with.

I don't like Userbenchmark, or really comparing scores against user-submitted ones, because they weigh heavily towards people who have overclocked or tuned their systems. So they can cause people think their parts are underperforming when in fact, they're within the expected performance.

A frame takes a certain amount of time to populate, regardless of cpu power. Game code has to be deciphered, objects placed, files dl'd from ram-storage, Ai, computations for damage or movement etc. The amount of times a cpu can finish that ore-render is cpu fps.

All that data gets sent to the gpu, which adds color, shading, follows cpu instructions and paints the picture on screen. That too takes a certain amount of time to finish rendering the frame. That's gpu fps output and that's what you'll see on the bean counters.

So matters very little if a 2600 can supply 300fps and a 5600x can supply 500fps, if the gpu can only output 150fps.

Its only when the cpu struggles, 2600 supplys 60fps and the 5600x can supply 100fps and the gpu could output 150fps, that you'd see the performance difference.

In your case, you see little improvement because the gpu is the limiting factor, regardless of detail settings, it simply cannot render as many frames as either cpu could supply.

Move upto a 3080 and you'd have a gpu capable of 400fps output, so you'd see the 300fps of the 2600, but see the leap to 400fps from the 5600x as now only that is exceeding the 400fps possible.

I agree with your idea of what happened. I do still think userbench and benchmark scores can be helpful for a very rough and basic idea of performance. Mainly its just easier than digging through benchmark articles. The articles are better when looking for benchs for an individual component but its pretty hard to calculate a bottleneck for two cpus and one gpu. The one thing i like userbench for is 'hey I wonder approximately how good my gpu/ cpu is compared to this other one?' If I actually want accurate info I use benchmarks from PCWorld Toms etc

I know I can push my ram to 3200mhz as it is currently oced but i don't really know how to deal with timings tho.

So the best way is to upgrade GPU right? What GPU will be a good shot for 5600x?
