Has anyone upgraded from Ryzen 2600x to 3600x?

It seems like it typically runs 20% faster in most games compared to the 2600x
Did you notice much difference in elite?
Thanks

Why do you ask? Are you having problems with your current setup?

To answer the question: incremental CPU upgrades like the one you mention won't necessarily result in significant improvements. While games obviously need a CPU, the bottleneck is more likely an underpowered GPU. As a 2600X is almost twice as capable as Frontier's recommended specification, a 3600X will make negligable difference. A GPU upgrade, however, is much more likely to help, especially if you're playing Horizons.

My box has a 2600. I could probably conjure up a few sketchy reasons to upgrade, but Elite isn't one of them.

I can't tell the difference in Elite between an i7-5820K and a Ryzen 9 3900X with the same GPU, and I'd imagine you'd have to be pretty CPU limited to notice any difference between a 2600X and a 3600X.

I did that "upgrade". 2600x to 3600x. Wife needed a computer and the 3600x was cheap so it was a good excuse. Let her have the 2600x. No I didn't notice much difference. Benchmarking is the only way to see any improvement. The 2600x is still a good CPU.

As a Ryzen 5 3600 user, I can tell you that ED will use around 25% as an utter max of it's total capability, if not less.

Edit: My grimar is atrociable.

The single-threaded performance is better, which doess help with framerate stability at high refresh rates. I went from the R5 2600 to the R5 3600 and noticed that I got more stable framerates at 120Hz in both Elite and BFV.
