I currently have a Ryzen 5 5500 paired with an RTX 4060 Ti, and I mainly use my PC for gaming, especially competitive games like CS2. I feel like my CPU is bottlenecking the GPU sometimes, especially on low settings where FPS matters the most.
I’m thinking about upgrading my processor and I’m deciding between the Ryzen 5 5600X and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. Which one would be the better choice for gaming with an RTX 4060 Ti?
I know the 5800X has more cores and threads, but I’ve also heard that the 5600X already performs very well in games and runs cooler. I currently use the cooler from my Ryzen 5 5500, so I’m also wondering if I would need a better cooler for the 5800X.
Would the 5800X give a noticeable FPS improvement over the 5600X in games like CS2, or is the 5600X enough for this setup?
