Believe this is very engine depended and even so much so, game. I still play some older game, MMOs which almost cuts performance in half if outside exclusive. So multi boxing I have to launch 1 in exclusive with the other accounts in windowed.

I sort of remember issues or fixes last year sometime. Just remember it being in the news.

Edt: Scaling issues worked out? I remember weird issues with game resolution never matching desktop resolution. It would always just be a few pixels off. Example, if my resolution was 1920x1080, there wouldn't be a 1920x1080 option in settings, but something off like 1920x1024. This was on my laptop, specifically in AC:Origins and maybe others.

Upgraded over the past month:
Ryzen 2700 to 3900x
Coyotes 980ti to Evga 2070S XCU
E die dual rank DDR4 to B die single rank, 32GB
Kept X370 board

Gained 4 cores, 8 threads, 250mhz CPU
Gained 667 MHz RAM
Considering Amazon gift cards and selling hardware, cost me 550 out of pocket

Not sure it was worth it except I did play through Q2RTX

Why did you upgrade your cpu and not dump that into the gpu?

Did not find anyone willing to accept Amazon GC as partial payment for a 2080ti. Found a guy willing to sell me a NIB 2070s for 450 in Amazon GC. Needed to get beyond Maxwell to get GSync on my Freesync monitor. Wanted IPC and MHz improvement over 2700.

It’s better at 1440p but I still don’t get 144 FPS in everything. Meh.

You expect too much. Not even the 2080 Ti can average that on high/ ultra.

Yep

But I think he realizes that, sounds like he is "just saying".

Techspot - Core i3-9100F vs Ryzen5-1600AF
quote:

Having recently reviewed the Ryzen 5 1600 AF, you should know all there is to know about this nimble CPU. How it performs, where you can buy it, what you need to support it, and so on. In short, it’s an incredible value and if you're lucky enough to have it available in your region and want something for under $100, there’s simply no better option, or at least that’s our opinion.

However we've seen some replies claiming the Core i3-9100F is a better choice. It’s also cheaper and more widely available, so there is that. It happens to be one of Intel's most popular CPUs right now as it costs just $80, so before we get into the benchmarks, let’s discuss Intel's budget processor.

What do you think of the 3900X so far?

I just upgraded, because of chipset issues on the MAIN PC to a 3900X under an EKWB block. CPU staying around 50C under load. My 32GB of DOMINATOR PLATINUMS are at 3400MHz @ 1.375 CL16-16-16-36. I will try for 3600MHz CL16-16-16-36 when I feel like messing with it.

Love the CPU, but it feels "odd" and sluggish but not sluggish at times because of that low ALL-CORE OC/Boost clock. Sort of reminds me of using 8th-10th gen Intel mobile processors. Yeah I have more cores and it can handle a crazy amount of work compared to previous 7th Gen Mobile CPUs but, the low and short boost clocks made it feel "sluggish" at times when hopping around in Windows.

I don't know if I've noticed a big difference over the 2700 in general Windows usage, I've noticed better gaming and productivity or course. VMWare Workstation Player seems worse so far with older OSs.
