Need some input on a PC upgrade.

[Nemax]

Hey 

 

Question for you tech savvy guys out there.

 

At the moment I am using a Asus Zephyrus S GX502GW as my setup to run DCS World.

I got it in January 2020 but now I have a good upgrade opportunity.

 

Current setup:

Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX502GW:

Intel i7 9750H

Nvidia RTX 2070

32GB DDR4 - 2666 Mhz

 

 

Upgrade:

Asus ROG Strix G513QR:

AMD Ryzen R7 5800H

Nvidia RTX 3070 (Max-P)

32GB DDR4 - 3200 Mhz

 

Notes:

I have not used an AMD processor in maybe 15 years so I am a bit unsure.

Apparently the 2070 that is in my current laptop is a lower power version (I did not know this when I bought it) (not Max-Q though)

But the 3070 in the Strix is the most powerful laptop 3070 available. (Apparently)

It will cost around 400 buck for this upgrade, but I am not 100% sure. 

 

Any input would be much appreciated, thanks.

 

Also I cant have a desktop because I am always on the move.

If it was me, I would upgrade. For 400 dollars that's a good dea! I take it you would be trading in your current laptop?

 

As for AMD processors, I've used 3 in the last 5 years. Had absolutely no issues. 

 

The questions you need to answer is this a want or a need? How is the performance of your current rig? And most importantly can you afford it!
