Honestly in some games the performance boost going from 1600 to 2600 is quite impressive either in averages or 1% lows, please add intel era correct cpus too, such as i5 7400 or 7600k it would give an interesting contrast how those cpus aged on the other "side".

[@michaelthompson9798]

I’m glad I’m upgraded from my 2700x to a 3900x, then the 5800x3D for one of my gaming PCs, being a HTPC 😉😇👍.Until the Ryzen 5000 series, Ryzen wasn’t performing as it should’ve, imo. I’m currently on a 7950x3D for my main PC now and more than happy with its performance, x3D cores only for gaming and all 16 cores for productivity etc.

[@rallytube1715]

I'm on 2600 and not planning to upgrade it. It's utilized at 70% at most in games that I play, while I'm more limited by 6650XT on 1440p so GPU will be the next upgrade. I'm appalled by amount of people on KZbin and reddit saying a person needs top tier CPU upgrade whenever someone asks should they upgrade. Mpst of the time they're limited by gpu

[@terrafair3248]

I have a 4790k and strix 970 was thinking about getting a 2600 of of ebay and getting a 6600

[@yi-vn4fz]

@@terrafair3248 if u upgrading u should at least get 3600 or 5500. they are cheap as well. as most modern game now requiremet 3600/5500 because that similar performance to ps5 and xbox. 2600 starting showing age

[@yi-vn4fz]

yes, 90% or 99% youtuber using 4090 to test cpu and telling u huge differences. they never have very simple common sense those still using older cpu 2600 etc never going to get 4090. those who own 4090 never need to waste any minutes watching this kind cpu comparison video as they already upgrade cpu as well.

[@Ornateluna]

@@yi-vn4fz well they test with a 4090 not bc it's a gpu that makes sense for the cpu but to showcase what is the maximum performance the cpu will do, if you want a cpu that will do high refresh rate then you can clearly see which one is gonna be good for you or if your cpu can't do solid 60fps in the newest games.

[@leewjj]

if you're using a 6650XT with the 2600 i would definitely upgrade cpu first. i just upgraded from a GTX 1070 to RTX 2070 Super and i can feel the CPU dragging behind in a lot of games

[@cyabongampaul]

Currently Running a 2600, had a b350 mobo, upgraded to x570, now saw two option for the cpu, 5600x new and 5950x used both same price, really happy with my 6600xt

[@TheHankoook]

Still rocking the KING from 2019 till today with 4.0oc waiting for the new AM4 if they have any performance and price difference to the x3d or i may get the 5500 and OC it. Great review wait for the x3d and the new am4 CPUs.

[@certs743]

I think another factor to consider with why someone might not go to AM5 just yet is not wanting to deal with the pitfalls of early adoption. Often the first generation of any new platform can become the "beta test after the beta test."

[@chrisxcrozz5186]

Im planning to upgrade my 2600 to a 5500 near or the start of 2025. I can already tell that with newer games coming in the future, old hardware cant keep up with now intensive games are now.

[@WSS_the_OG]

Well done man. Epic levels of benchmarking there. Truly impressive, and very interesting results.

[@rogerbowen5753]

I'm running that right now! I've only ever had 1080 monitors and it's been just fine at that resolution. I couple it with an RTX 2060 6gb and they've served me well. When I move and have more room I have a slightly newer build ready to go....

[@something2941]

I have a rx 460 and 2nd gen i5 would an rtx 2060/rx 6600 and ryzen 5 2600 be good? 😂

[@rogerbowen5753]

@@something2941 Really depends on what you want to play. The last games I bought and ran well were the Dark Pictures games. More modern titles would push it a bit far. I am upgrading to a 5700X and a 2080ti in my next build. It'd cope with TLOU and Forbidden West. TBH newer games don't appeal all that much.

[@khadarsk370]

I have a R5 2600 will it be a good combo if paired with RX 6600 (with 16 gb 3000Mhz)??

[@DigitalBliss69]

I went from the 2600 with an GTX 1080 to a 3700x with a 5700xt then to a 5700x 6800xt and now I recently switched to the 7800x3d because I got a great deal on on the mobo and cpu.

[@GadgetJoe]

Until I get my new board and stuff set up next week im still rocking the 2600! Its done me really well with all my 4k editing along with the 1070 lol

[@henrycooper3361]

Decent CPU. I'm still rocking my 5800x, warm but mighty

[@mihajlocolic01]

The benchmarks seem like something that would fit my use case, i don't really need supee high fps but a reasonable one at the highest settings in those games.

[@GiviOfGivia]

I'm currently sitting on 2600 and still waiting for the rumored certain 5000X3D to be unveiled.

[@border252]

Why in your tests cyberpunk 2077 on p5 2600 does not give more than 50 fps? The Internet is full of gameplay videos-tests of this processor and in the above-mentioned game the processor is capable of giving more than 80 frames...

Interesting video I recently built myself a Ryzen system based around the 1600 AF which is basically the same CPU. For what I need right now it is doing the job paired with an RX 5600XT and 32GBs DDR 4 3200.

Upgraded from a 2600 to a 5600 and running a 4070 with it. 1440P runs well for me.

[@SeaLifeCro]

2600 is still ok for 1080 and even 1440p in most games if you have a good gpu. But if you want the best performance from your gpu you need to upgrade. I will keep my 2600x for now buy i will surely look to upgrade now that I've got Rx6800.

[@mcgamer4474]

Currently got a 2600x and a 1060 6gb. Planning to get a 7800xt within the next month and then upgrade to a 5600x minimum within the next 6 months. Will be going between a 1080p 165hz monitor and a 4k 60hz tv. Is this a good idea?

[@2ndLastJedi]

You still doing the DDR4 4000c15 vs DDR5 7400c34 ?

[@Eternalduoae]

That's a lot of work! Very nice video but i really do disagree with using the 4090 - mainly because of nvidia's driver overhead. We know from prior testing with the 3090 over at hardware unboxed that lower end cpus will suffer more and also older architectures. The 4090 is a level above that and I would very money that you would potentially see an fps increase using a lower tier card like a 3080 or 4070 on the 1600/2600, etc. Regarding the 2600 - I owned one and even played Cyberpunk on it at release with a 3070. However, i upgraded to a 5600X and the gains were amazing... maybe 30+% in all games, if I'm remembering correctly. Transcoding times were cut by ~60% and that was a big increase... I remember that very clearly!

[@mentalplayground]

I wonder what would we see with AMD Gpu

[@sc337]

Wrong samples for comparison. Just my 2 cents. IRL, AM4 owners have many other choices

Nvidia has been known to introduce high overhead performance hits to lower tier Ryzen CPUs. They get better fps on AMD GPUs.

[@mesicek7]

It was funny how back in 2017 AMD fanboys were expecting some miracle bios update that would boost cpu gaming performance. Also the poor Adored fanboys who believed in his snake oil - *720p benchmarks don't show the true future performance BS*.

[@vikrambhaskar7976]

Great content! But why is the 7600 performance so lackluster in cyberbunk? 102 avg fps with a 4090 gpu at 1080p resolution is embarrassing? Something wrong right?

[@markolumovic2750]

Even on Ultra 2600 is playable but ultra and RT kills CPU's even newest one.Lowering shadows and numbers of backround characters would skyrocket these results.And 2600 is not new gen it is ZEN 1+ like Piledriver was compared to Bulldozer.
