Late 2019 saw the quiet release of the Ryzen 1600’AF’ CPU, which is effectively a Ryzen 1600 manufactured on a 12nm fabrication process. We are fortunate that AMD’s Ryzen line up has brought powerful and versatile CPUs to a sub $100 price point. So with the parameters clarified let’s dive in and make some recommendations for common gaming configurations:īest CPU GPU Combos for Gaming PC Builds – Our Recommendationsīest Budget CPU-GPU Combo for 1080p 60hz Gamingīest CPU-GPU Combo for 1080p 144hz Competitive Gamingīest CPU-GPU Combo for 1440p 144hz Gamingīest CPU-GPU Combo for 1440p Ultrawide Gamingīest Budget CPU-GPU Combo for 1080p 60hz Gaming Ryzen 1600AF + XFX RX 580 GTS XXX Edition We also have the luxury of choice, in that it is possible to adjust settings to improve performance or visual fidelity to meet our own needs and priorities. Whilst a CPU maxing out can lead to jarring frame rate inconsistency and drops or lags in the flow of the game, a GPU will happily run at 99% load and provide consistent frame rates doing it. In any gaming PC the GPU is, and should be, the component that limits the ultimate performance of the system. GPU: The key to your PC’s gaming performance It’s a confident assertion that AMD will remain highly competitive throughout 2020.
However they are still tied to intels 14nm process and a ‘coffee-lake’ era architecture so it seems unlikely that huge strides in performance will be realised. An announcement is due at the end of April confirming the next round of Intel processors, dubbed ‘comet lake’ which are expected to include multithreading throughout the range and enhanced core counts and clock speeds.
If you’re looking for very high refresh rates you may want to consider the enhanced single core speed of the Intel ‘K series’ CPUs along with a good motherboard and an overclock. But it’s not the only option and it doesn’t necessarily fit all needs. Providing 6 cores, 12 threads and a high 4.2Ghz clock speed the Ryzen 3600 is a very solid option for anyone looking to spec a gaming PC right now. We are fortunate that since the launch of Ryzen and it’s refresh in 2019, almost every gaming requirement can be met with AMD CPUs costing from $100-$160. 3.8 Related CPU: Core of the system but rarely a limiting factor
