ASUS ROG Strix B450-f Gaming
Radeon 7 2700 running stock
16GB Ballistix Tactical Tracer (2x8) 2666 mhz
MSI RX 480 4gb Gaming
Coolermaster 240mm watercooler
Windows 10 on 120GB PNY 2.5 SSD
Games on 1 TB Mushkin 2.5 SSD
Dual 16:9 1080p 75hz monitors
2nd pc with similar Intel/Nvidia specs
Centurylink dedicated 80Mbps service (2 home pc's running games like APEX, BO4, R6S, PUBG, etc. , 4k streaming to tv, 1 PS4 running same games, several phones on wifi all running simultaneously)
Gigabit routers and switches keep the pc's and tv hard wired. PS4 is currently wifi.
So, all that said...I know I currently suck at FPS games, but I feel like opponents with higher end pc's have an advantage over me. Maybe I am just worse than I think, but something seems off.
We downgraded from COX Gigablast and there is a noticeable difference when all devices are running. I know game servers can let us down sometimes too. But when only the 2 pc's are gaming, I feel the speed is fine.
I want to upgrade the RX480 to a RX 5700 XT in the next couple months as drivers and cooling are improved. Budget is tight or I would go with RTX 2080 Super or ti, obviously. Plus I just feel better about buying AMD right now.
Should we hold off on the GPU upgrades and look into 144hz 1440p monitors first? Or maybe we should go back to COX ($100/month price difference).
Just dont want to feel like I suck if upgrading might help me hear, see, and react better.
Oh, headsets, mice, and keyboards are all decent as well.
And, I like thing to work out of box, have not had success OCing the cpu or gpu in any meaningful way.
What to do 1st?
Thanks in advance!
