Asked by

I'm looking for advice on pairing my Ryzen 5 3600XT processor. Should I go with the RX 5700XT or upgrade to the RX 6700? Just to clarify, yes, the Ryzen 5 3600XT is a legitimate CPU, in case there's any doubt about what the XT marking signifies.

Before making a decision, there are a few details we need to consider:
1. Whatโs your RAM setup like? Are you using two sticks?
2. Whatโs the wattage of your power supply?
3. What resolution do you plan to game at?
4. What types of games are you playing? A couple of examples would help!
5. Whatโs your budget like, and are you open to buying used parts?

AMD's naming system can really mess with you sometimes! The 3600XT is like a refresh of the 3600X, while the 5700XT is a totally different GPU. If you ask me, Iโd recommend the 6700 for a better overall experience.

Generally speaking, itโs a good idea to pair a CPU and GPU from the same generation to avoid bottlenecking, which might affect your gaming performance.
