Sorry if this is a dumb question. My current gaming setup is a Intel I7-4790k, 32Gb ram and a RTX 2080 Super. I came across a AMD Threadripper 1920x, mobo, 64Gb ram for free basically.
Is that worth the time/effort to swap over? It seems to me it would be, but when I search around for info I get conflicting opinions. So any input/insight is appreciated.
Edit: Thank y’all very much! I think I was overthinking single threaded performance.
Some quick googling suggests that their single-thread performance is really close, but the AMD has triple the cores. Plus extra RAM is always good, and looks to be the newer and faster DDR4.
The main question for you becomes how multi-threaded your needs are. If you don’t need more than 4 cores, then switching won’t give you anything more. There’s also the smaller question about RAM, with the same criteria.
If your needs are highly multi-threaded, or RAM-constrained, then switching will be very worthwhile.
