[SOLVED] Will The Ryzen 5 1600 (paired with a GTX 1070TI) run well at 144hz?

[loganwiniecke28]

To preface, I am beginning to gradually replace parts of system and was looking into getting a new monitor as well. The problem is, I am not sure if my Ryzen 5 1600 can handle gaming at 144hz. In the event that it cannot handle a 144hz refresh rate, what would be the next logical upgrade be for my CPU? Keep in mind that I plan to stay with Ryzen, as I am not interested in swapping my motherboard.

it depends what game you are playing, but for the most part you should be fine. if you wanted to upgrade your cpu if you aren't happy with the performance, i would wait for the 3000 series to release. it uses AM4 as well so you don't have to upgrade your motherboard.

You really need to specify some game titles. As previously stated, it really depends on the game and settings you're aiming for.
At 1080p you may get most games at high-ultra 144 fps.

Since you won't upgrade your CPU I'll state for the record, at 1080p and 1440p you do lose a few fps with Ryzen over any Intel, even older models.

Use this video as a guide. If you want more fps or quality, you have to consider a better GPU.
