AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Budget CPU Worth it in 2024?

[@wadekelden9924]

The drop in performance going from 1080p to 1440p is because of the GPU . This CPU can easily handle a more powerful card at higher resolutions as higher resolutions tend to put more load on GPU . I don’t know if it’s just me but I hate how this video kind of sent the message that the cpu causes a bottleneck at 1440p . Doesn’t make sense. If you have a CPU bottleneck the way you can utilise more GPU is by turning up resolution not the other way around.

I was team blue because I had an Intel laptop, and bought two old workstations on EBay, because they were cheap, and made 3D rendering easier, especially since both came with a decent PSU. However, I wanted to build myself a computer (after building one for my son and daughter each). I checked the prices on EBay (looking at both new and used). AMD still had the best value. I was able to get a brand new A520 motherboard for $50, a used Ryzen 3 3100 for $50, which was significantly cheaper than comparable used Intel boards and CPUs. It all comes down to your budget. Both work extremely well, and you can’t go wrong with either one.

Now I have ordered a cheap Asus TUF Gaming A520M-Plus Wifi motherboard, 2x8GB cheap 3200 RAM, R5 5500GT CPU and the cheapest RTX 4060 I could find. Plan is to put the RTX 4060 in my primary R5 5600x computer and then upgrade my secondary computer using the new motherboard and 5500GT. Then move my GTX 1070 over there. It will be a huge upgrade coming from my old i7 2600K setup. BL3 runs like shit on the i7 2600K platform VS the newer Ryzen when using the GTX 1070. There is a huge difference in what quality settings I can use and the smoothness of the game.

Intel had no promotions for their i3-12100F (and this processor didn't even have a cooler whereas the 5500 did), and the 5600X was available for about $70CAD more.

[@45eno]

Some games take a big hit running a 8x gen4 gpu on gen3. It’s not simply the halved bandwidth of going down to gen3 from 4 its halving it a second time going from 16x bus to 8x bus on the card. Doom Eternal has a pretty big performance hit. Sad manufacturers would build budget cards on a 8x bus know many of these buyers would be pairing it with older cheaper existing builds on gen3. Any gen3 pc should focus their gpu money on a 16x card so you only get 1 bandwidth penalty not 2.

2080 super performs better so get the 2080

[@manhandler]

They are both mid cards and should work about the same. The older 2080 uses more power but may have a slight advantage without DLSS, but the 3060 12gb should out preform the 2080 with DLSS. I personally prefer the 3060 12gb version for future games on a budget.

[@maxwell_edison]

A lot of people recommended to use a 5600 instead, but I found the 5500 to be way cheaper and more available

[@auggieaxiom5726]

you lose the pci-e 4.0 functionality of your SSD with both the 5500 and 5600(G) :(

[@Techomode]

Not a big deal for gaming, maybe for workstation stuff, but most people buying these cpu's aren't doing very intense stuff that would require Pci-e 4.0

@@Techomode right so dont buy the 4.0 ssd, by the cheaper 3.0 ssd

What board goes good with this cpu?

[@MrSamadolfo]

B450 with pcie3 and overclock bios or the cheaper A520 pcie3 with no overclock bios

I think the game benchmarks only shows the gpu performance

What should I get the ryzen 5 500 with rtx 3060 12gb or ryzen 5 500 with rx 7600

[@TahaBanna]

always mix Cpu AMD and Gpu Nvidia is better

[@theeimmortal2355]

@@TahaBanna u sure isn't the rx 7600 stronger than rtx 3060 12gb for 1080p gaming only

[@Techomode]

The 7600 out performs the 3060. I would go with the AMD GPU when going with the 5500.

[@theeimmortal2355]

Thanx bro I will do so bro

[@igelbofh]

Actually you are wrong. 4k is easier on this cpu than 1080p

[@bodasactra]

I would be strongly compelled to go Ryzen 5 3600 used and pair it with a used 6700XT. Both can be easily overclocked to match their premium version specs, 3600X/6750XT and provide a truly powerful, consistent, experience at both 1080p/1440p. The value to performance of these parts are probably the best currently available comparatively.

Can i pair it with the rtx 3070

@@aunoxed4636 Yes! That’s what I currently have it paired with. Works perfect at 1440p for any game.

Is RX 580 graphics card good for this cpu?

[@Techomode]

This cpu can handle much more than that GPU. It would be fine but your GPU would be your bottleneck.

@@Techomode my budget isn't that high. Do u have any good recommendations around that graphics card budget?
