I am thinking anout upgrading my graphics card....
| # | Post |

| 1 | I am currently running Ryzen 5 2400G, GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB and 16 Gb ram. Thinking of getting a GeForce 2060. Will that work OK with the Ryzen 5 2400G I have? I don't play super intensive games - Resident Evil games probably the most intensive. Cheers for you advice :) benthecat - 2020-11-27 07:32:00 |
| 2 | Yeah, should be fine. ira78 - 2020-11-27 07:43:00 |

| 5 | You'll get a good performance lift going to a 2060 as well as getting entry level ray tracing too. If I were going any better than a 2060 I would be upgrading the CPU too (that's just me though), something like the previous gen Ryzen 3600 would rung absolute rings around the 2400G if you notice the 2400G begins to struggle. cube_guy - 2020-11-27 10:02:00 |
| 6 | I have no idea what you said intrade :) Thanks cube_guy. My concern was whether the Ryzen 5 would handle it. I know it would be a big step up from the 1060. I guess if I don't step up to more intensive games the Ryzen 5 would be fine? How would I know if the CPU was struggling? Edited by benthecat at 4:16 pm, Fri 27 Nov benthecat - 2020-11-27 16:08:00 |
| 7 | Your Ry 5 will handle a 2060. Just don't have the graphic settings set to epic or high for your games or google for best settings, sometimes having things like shadows on low or medium makes a big difference. The CPU will run at max anyway. Use steam FPS counter in steam overlay or similar and if the FPS is below 30 you need to lower settings for GPU. cptdarling - 2020-11-27 17:53:00 |
| 8 | CPU is very game dependent, some require a boatload of CPU power but most do not and will work just fine on your APU. Q vtecintegra - 2020-11-27 19:25:00 |
| 9 | Thanks guys. Will move forward in this I think :) benthecat - 2020-11-28 10:12:00 |
| 10 | I use a dual monitor setup - main screen is a 4k display and I have a secondary monitor for live system resource usage (open hardware monitor with CPU/GPU temp and load plots). Currently running an i7-6700k (generations before your Ryzen..) with a GTX-1080 and I have never came across a game that uses anywhere close to fully loading my CPU (on average maybe 50% CPU load), the GPU maxes out all the time as I'm playing at 4k.

| 11 | Cheers acura. Your 2c helps as well. benthecat - 2020-11-28 12:54:00 |

I have not used a 2400g, so my answer in mainly anecdotal. In basic terms you will always want your system to be GPU and not CPU bottlenecked. A 2400g in most instances will be fine with the GPU you are looking to get. When you are in games, if the gameplay when using that setup starts going choppy and stuttery, I would be comfortable in saying that you are now probably CPU limited. As above, this shouldn't happen a lot, but a CPU upgrade will go a long way to helping with this in the long run, as the 2400g was never designed as a gaming CPU. The best thing to do would be to get the GPU and see how you go. If your gaming library is limited you will more than likely be fine. I game a lot and like my system to be performing well, that's why I mentioned in my post above that I would upgrade. For you though, it is highly likely the GPU upgrade is all you would need to do. cube_guy - 2020-11-28 14:19:00 |
| 13 | Thanks for that clarification cube_guy benthecat - 2020-11-28 16:56:00 |
