Hey folks, I need some advice on improving my PC setup for gaming. Here's what I'm working with right now:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
- **Motherboard**: ASUS PRIME A520M-E
- **GPU**: MSI RTX 3070 GAMING Z TRIO LHR 8GB
- **RAM**: Kingston Fury KF3200C16D4/32GX (32GB, 3200MHz)
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RMX White Series, 750W, 80 Plus Gold, Modular
Currently, I'm seeing about **30-50 FPS** in most modern games. For instance, in **Monster Hunter Wilds**, I get an average of **44.5 FPS** on high settings. In the **Oblivion Remaster**, my frame rates are similar but can drop to **25-30 FPS** in certain areas. I'm aiming for a consistent **60 FPS** on high settings and eventually want to push for **ultra settings** at that frame rate. What upgrades would you suggest to help me reach that goal? Thanks for your help!

Make sure to keep in mind that any performance boost you get might be due to optimizations that should've been handled by the game developers. Investing in a new CPU like the Ryzen 7 could help you hit that stable 60 FPS mark. But really, start with optimizing your settings before dropping cash on new parts!
First off, what resolution are you gaming at? If it's 1920x1080, that helps narrow down options. Some games like the two you mentioned can be really poorly optimized, which affects performance. You might not even need an upgrade if you're just facing issues with those titles. Have you tried enabling AMD FSR 3 frame generation or lossless scaling? It could give you a significant FPS boost without changing hardware!
Honestly, I'd hold off on upgrades for now. The games you're struggling with have known issues. I've played Oblivion Remastered with an RX 7800XT at 1440p and got 60 to 80 FPS, so it really depends on how well-optimized the game is. You might also want to consider a CPU upgrade like switching to a Ryzen 7 5700X if you're constantly finding frame drops.
Yeah, I’m at 1920x1080, so I’ll definitely look into those scaling options. Thanks for the tip!
