[SOLVED] Ryzen 2600 Vs 3600

[gm-madi]

Hey, guys.

I got a Ryzen 1600, 8gb, 1050ti and planning to upgrade this week to 1080p Pure Gaming (WoW, PUBG, RoE, CSGO, GTA5). I am on a serious budget due to currency conversion. It's HELL.

so,

B1: £430
B450 tomahawk +16gb 3000mhz
ryzen 2600 4.1Ghz
rx 570 8gb OC to 1400mhz

B2: £475
B450 tomahawk +16gb 3000mhz
ryzen 2600 4.1Ghz
rx 590 8gb ( rx580 same price )

B3; £510
B450 tomahawk +16gb 3000 mhz
ryzen 3600 Stock
rx 570 8gb OC to 1400mhz


Keep in mind i cannot pay more than £500, so is it worth the extra BIG MONEY or should I just get B1 or B2 and save some cash?

My analysis:
I know the 3600 is at least 15% faster but only with high end GPUs, I have seen This comparison. I'm kinda scared about rx570 being the Bottleneck holding back the 3600, so I am kinda leaning towards B2: it's kinda balanced. 2600 at 4.1Ghz +rx590 is not that bad against 3600+ rx570. Also, those games I play mostly are CPU intensive so maybe i get the 3600 and OC the damn rx570 to 1400?

Any thoughts??

the rx 590 is out of stock
rx 570 OC can be really close to 580 if not the same, ever 5 fps slower i dont care
but the 3600 0.1% and 1% Lows are really improved against the 2600, which gives a smooth game especially PvP games like WoW, PUBG, CS etc...

so basically am getting rx 580 performance for rx 570 price so am gonna pay extra for the 3600 for that 20% better 0.1 and 1% lows. i wont lose more than 5 fps downgrading the GPU but i will get better stability with 3600
and am still researching about it in Forums etc ...

Yeah, but then you could just OC the RX 580 as well to increase the performance delta...
To reiterate what I said before, it makes no sense to be comparing an OC'd card to one running at stock.

What is the price difference between an RX 570 and 580 for you?

 

[gm-madi]

price difference is 50€, thats a lot also between 2600 and 3600 is 75€
am moving from 1050ti, rx 570 OC/ rx580 is happiness anyway, its just the Damn 3600 is so sexy -_-

Up to you. I will say that it's generally fairly easy to work around GPU limitations by adjusting settings to achieve your desired FPS, whereas you generally can't do much if your CPU is holding you back. GPU upgrades are also generally easy to do that CPU upgrades. So yeah, even getting a 3600 over a 2600 may not be the best choice strictly looking at FPS/dollar, it's not a bad idea IMO.

easy to work around GPU limitations by adjusting settings to achieve your desired FPS,

thats correct, nobody plays Ultra preset, we all turn on Quality + Antialiasing and the rest low as possible. which will remove some stress from the GPU and allow the 3600 to perform better, i think it will be better than 2600, i have seen more comparison this week with midrange GPUs, 3600 have incredible 25% better 1% lows in addition to 15-25% average fps.
