Can you quantify GPU/CPU performance easily?
Whenever I’ve attempted to upgrade my CPU or GPU or when I’ve started a build from scratch, those 2 choices have always seemed too nuanced.
“Oh the MHz of your CPU matters more!â€
“No, it’s the GHz!â€
“Well, AMD’s 6800xt will support FSR3!â€
“No, you should ball out and go with a 4080 and get some RTX! The fidelity is worth it!â€
Other choices for computer components seem much more straightforward.
RAM: “just grab whatever speed you want from a reputable brand, you’ll be fineâ€
Case: “If it looks good, buy itâ€
Mobo: “Do you want these cool, and more importantly, straightforward features for an extra $100?â€
PSU: “Just like the ram, but make sure it has enough juiceâ€
Can you __easily__ quantify how much resources (MHz, GHz, vram) afford you when upgrading outside of just being “better�
I understand benchmarks are a thing, but are there objective percentage increases in performance for certain features?
Thanks.
I've just completed a list of parts for my new PC setup + the monitor. I don't know much about PC building and I would really appreciate some help with deciding what I should change and why. I'll be using that primarily for gaming. My budget is about 1500$ (more or less since I'm not from the US).
