Is Rig OK for a rtx 3000s gpu upgrade


Recommended Posts

Hello fellows.

 

I have been looking to upgrade my gpu and plan to take a two generational jump from pascal to the ampere without having to build a new system entirely.

 

I am beginning to think my Intel i5 7600k cpu could draw performance back with the rtx3000 series. Consequently, if I have to get a faster and more current cpu, I may have to also change the motherboard as it is built for the skylake 7th generation Intel CPUs.

 

Current setup

 

1. Motherboard GA-Z270-HD3 Z270 gigabyte

2. Gpu gtx 1060 6g (shooting for a non ti rtx 3000 series)

3. Storage 500G SSD

samsung 500g M.2 already in the shopping cart for dcs only)

4. Ram 16g

*additional 2x8g 3000mhz already in my shopping cart

5. PSU 650watt evga

6. VR samsung O+ ( plan is to upgrade this sometime in the future to a higher res headset

 

Would I be good enough to change to the rtx 3000 series with the planned ram and storage upgrade while still keeping the i5 7600k cpu?

 

Or

Go the cpu and motherboard upgrade to not bottleneck the gpu?

 

Any advice please?

I think you have to go higher with the CPU Clockrate, around 4,5GHz is ok. Than you can go with the RTX3000, if you only think about DCS World and no other games.

 

 

DCS today only use two cores of your CPU.

You may need a better, more powerful PSU over time, depending on which GPU you choose and how aggressively you intend to overclock.

Present cpu can achieve 4.2ghz on max turbo frequency. That is somewhat close to 4.5ghz.

 

Might go for the rtx3000 gpu(or whatever nvidia decide to call it) and see if how it goes with present setup hoping no major hickups playing dcs.

 

Appreciate your input derneuemann

Another interesting component I never thought would be due for an upgrade.

Power usage would not be that scaled up for the upcoming rtx3000 series I have read.

 

Thank Bitmaster, I will keep this in mind.

Hi,

 

you will be able to achieve more with the 7600k and the z270 board than 4.2GHz ...

 

What voltage do you give the CPU, or have you ever dealt with appropriate tutorials?
