    Ryzen 5 Upgrade Options?

    As rumoured, Intel's 8-core i9-9900K is around the corner, and it is widely expected that it will surpass Ryzen 7 in both single-thread and multi-thread performance, due to higher IPC and frequency.

I was never an expert on which gpu company has better frametime stability but I came across a consistent...
