I've been building gaming pc's for 20+ years and core clocks, memory speed and latency are more of a factor when trying to get the most performance from your gpu. And most modern titles are just starting to take advantage of multi cores as most games has been single core driven for years in fact even a 6/12t in today's standards is more than enough in AAA games.

Without meaning to sound condescending, if you're actually testing CPU's , in Cyberpunk you should have ray tracing and crowd density completely maxed out and go to a CPU stress point. Same with Tomb Raider - RT on Ultra increases CPU utilization by around 25%

11:33 if I’m playing a game at 1080p instead of 1440p, why would I need a better CPU to keep up?

[@udenost]

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.

[@mukundmurali3720]

The cpu already handles various processing tasks. In addition to them it needs to prepare for the next frame, so if u put a 3000series card for 1080p gaming with unlocked frame rates, the cpu might not be able to prepare those many frames in limited time.

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

Say the cpu has to make 5 calculations for every frame of gameplay. At 60fps thats 300 calculations a second. If we lower the resolution the gpu has less work to do resulting high frame rates eg 150fps which would now be 750 calculations a second for the cpu.

[@BOKtober]

The more frames per second your getting the more calculations your cpu has to do each second, 60fps could be 60 calculations per second compared to 120fps would be 120 calculations

[@ace052330]

Lol. The lower your resolution the more work your cpu has to do not less. 1080P bottlenecks your cpu thus gpu much more than 1440P and 4k. The more pixels you have the more work your GPU has to do. Once you go to higher resolutions your GPU bound. I don’t get why people play at 1080P personally. 1440P looks MASSIVELY better and isn’t even that much harder to run especially if someone is being cpu limited at 1080P. Not to mention you can and have been able to easily get a nice 27-32 inch 1440P 144hz monitor for around 300-350 dollars for a few years now. The lower the resolution you play at the better and faster cpu and single core performance you need. If you’re building a budget system it doesn’t matter regardless. Simple answer is the higher your resolution the more work that gets off loaded to the GPU instead and once your GPU hits 100% usage in games which you want always, then you’re GPU bound and that’s what you want.

I love the effort and the insight this video brings because it gives the viewer the come up with their own conclusion on how many cores they actually need for their own gaming/pc situation. However when explaining this type of thing you need to dumb it down as a lot of people dont understand. To just simplify 6 cores is MINIMUM in 2023. 8 core is more ideal and everything over that is luxury. To people wondering if 6 is ideal why not just stop there? is because the more cores and threads you have the better the fps. and no just more better the fps you get better frame pacing, which means you will have less micro stutters in your game the more cores and threads you have.

I guess it depends on the timeframe. I realised, already a few years back, that i slowly went from a yearly upgrade cycle to every two years, 3 years and now i am on 5+ years per PC. Currently still running an old 6700k on a dual 1440p setup. Since it is time for a new build, it will be a 5950x (yes, i know about the supply problems, but i can wait a month or two if needed) with a 3080, although i might have to go for a 3090 instead as those are available, the 3080s not. In that case i might have to settle for a 2TB nvme boot drive instead of a 4 or 8 TB. Since i will probably use that setup for a fair few years, i rather spend a bit more and go for a higher core count, thanks to the performance of the AMD stock over the last year that is well within my price range, all in all, around €5.000 for a new build without accessories or screens is not too much.

@@Soordhin yeah I just upgraded to 12 cores (5900x) with a 3080

Ryzen 5600x 6 core with Nvidia RTX 3090? A good pair? This is my first time building a gaming PC.

[@FB21509]

From your videos it looks like you’ll be using your pc to edit videos and other shit like that? The 3090 is pretty much the best card money can buy and if your spending that kind of money it’s probably worth getting something with more cores.

[@PcCentric]

I would go with a 5800x or 5900x - 5600x will be fine in most games, but for creative apps you'll want more than 6 cores

[@jamesm568]

5600 is a budget processor as the 3090 is a premium video card.

[@andresmarquez5241]

@@epehal5955 id spend the little extra for the 5600 or 5600x in the future you might need 6 cores plus if u ever want to stream or be on a discord call the same tine as gaming the 5600x will barely suffer at all

[@maaz2897]

I just bought a ryzen 7 5800xt and rtx 3070 vision for a streaming setup

[@enanomus9891]

Can you do streaming and editing on the ryzen 7 5800?

[@jokauk4995]

Yea

[@timonbotha476]

yes but why not spend $100 more and get 4 more cores.

[@leon760]

Can you do benchmarks on rust for your next pc build? I’m looking at parts for my first pc and rust is one of the games I really want to get, not many people are using rust for benchmarks.

[@Xid.]

Getting ready to buy my first pc hopefully I don’t die

[@dampintellect]

I'd say that 8 Cores should be considered a minimum while building PCs in 2021. Some might not agree but if you want to be playing a game and having 10 different things open in you system tray while listening to music you shouldnt settle for less. You might even want to go 12 cores if you have some extra cash.

[@morganbruno3252]

Considering I want to build then forget and this is the last generation on this mode I’m going i9 and living the overkill dream (until 12 cores becomes the new sweet spot)

[@mirlenahildavillacortaolaz8766]

Simulate 4 cores with one of those ryzen at 1080p with rtx 3060 ti please.
