Upgrade Priority: RTX 3060 to 5070 OR 8GB to 32GB RAM first?
Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade my rig but I can only do one thing right now. Which one should be my priority for a better gaming experience?
Option A: Upgrade my GPU from an RTX 3060 to the new RTX 5070.
Option B: Upgrade my RAM from 8GB DDR5 to 32GB DDR5.
I feel like 8GB is really holding me back in modern games, but an RTX 5070 is a huge jump in power. Will the 5070 even perform well if I’m stuck with only 8GB of RAM, or will I just get massive stuttering?
Current CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
Resolution: 1440p
What would you do first?
