Need Help Upgrading My PC for Better Gaming Performance

Asked By TechSavvy789 On

I'm experiencing some performance issues with a few demanding games like Arma Reforger, Tarkov, GTA V FiveM, and Kingdom Come 2. They get pretty jittery and low fps, even on low settings, and I'm looking to improve my graphics performance without settling for frames in the 20-30 range. I alternate between 2 and 3 monitors and I'm running Windows 11. I know I'll need to upgrade my PSU too. Here's what I currently have:

- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: Arc B570
- RAM: 32GB DDR4
- PSU: 500W
- Motherboard: Does not support DDR5

I'm open to any suggestions regardless of budget!

It's definitely time to upgrade your graphics card, but there isn't much on the market for $250. If you can, try to get a second-hand RX 6700XT or save up an extra $50 to increase your chances of finding a better card in your price range.

Honestly, you're kind of in a tough spot with your current GPU. The Arc B570 is selling for around $200 used, and it's tough to find better options under $250 right now unless you get lucky with a B580 at MSRP. Upgrading options are limited since the new Arc Battlemage cards just launched, so it might be a while for a better deal.

First off, make sure you have XMP/DOCP enabled and check if your CPU and GPU are thermal throttling when gaming. If everything looks good but you’re still lagging, your Arc B570 might be the issue. It has a higher CPU driver overhead, so I'd suggest selling it and picking up an RX 9060XT, specifically the 16GB version. Your current 500W PSU should handle it just fine since the 9060XT needs under 200 watts.
