[SOLVED] What to Upgrade?

[trplkil]

I have been streaming for a while now and as soon as the streaming or recording starts i have about a 20fps drop in game.
The Main game im playing is rust. And averaging around 40 frames when i start streaming or recording.
I would really like to get this up to around 70 plus when recording/streaming.

Specs:
GPU: Rx580 8GB Nitro
CPU: R5 2600
Ram: Ripjaws 16gb 2666
Mobo: B450 Steel legend
I was thinking of upgrading my GPU to a 2060 super but have recently found that rust might be more CPU intensive so was wondering if a upgrade to a 3700x would be a better option?

What settings do you run Rust on?

What settings do you run Rust on?

3 for graphics and low for things like grass quality, water and shawdows

If you get a 2060S, you should be able to do your stream encoding using NVEnc and take most of the streaming load off the CPU.

What about Resolution? 1080P? 1440P? What is your monitor?

Oh true. cheers man

Ideally you should move to a Ryzen 3600 and grab some faster c16 3600 memory...the 2600 is a lot slower than a 3600 in cpu intensive games and 2666 memory is too slow for Ryzen which really needs fast ram to run its best. The 2060 super would provide a nice boost over the 580 and provide the encoder benefits mentioned above.

The Rx 580 has really been showing its age as of late. I myself switched due to its poor performance. I made the jump to the 1660 Super and have felt way better since the upgrade. If you don't want to spend too much money on a new card then i suggest going with a 1660Ti or Super. You will be glad that you did.
