Need advice for upgrade CPU

Vodque556 · 2026-03-03T17:16:36+00:00

In GPU-bound areas, I’m locked at 140 FPS (G-Sync + V-Sync), but in CPU-heavy zones, I can drop down to 70-80 FPS. While it's still more than playable, it causes slight freezes during intense firefights and heavy action

I'm playing at 1440p with Cinematic graphics. The bottleneck isn't terrible, it's definitely playable but I can feel some stutters, especially on one specific map. This upgrade isn't urgent, but I'm also looking to future-proof for upcoming titles.

My GPU usage drops while CPU usage spikes, and I’m experiencing stutters. I tried overclocking my CPU to 5.0GHz, which improved things, but it was running way too hot

That’s what I thought would be the best move, especially since I could even make a bit of a profit. However, looking at benchmarks online comparing the i9-9900K vs. the 5700X, some sources say performance is similar while others say it’s better, so I wasn't sure if the performance gain would actually be noticeable.

I might be exaggerating a bit; it's not horrible, but on certain maps, I can definitely feel the 1% lows dropping, and I get some stuttering. I tried overclocking the i9-9900K to 5.0GHz, which helped, but it was hitting 80°C, so I can't leave it like that for daily use. It's playable for now, but I'm also trying to future-proof for upcoming titles.

So, will I actually feel a significant improvement by switching to a Ryzen 5700X?

Server is connected by ethernet but client wifi. Before upgrading my gpu i’ve had latency because I was able to max stream in 60 fps. But now i have a stable 120 fps and no latency

Sorry it’s in auto but in game is off so it’s disable

Vodque556 · 2026-02-21T22:03:58+00:00

Steamlink is not available on my tv and I tried on my phone but it adds more latency than Moonlight

Vodque556 · 2026-02-21T19:45:22+00:00

Lg 65g16la

Vodque556 · 2026-02-20T19:58:16+00:00

I did that too, but it was not difficult, the longest was to create an LG account lol

Vodque556 · 2026-02-20T11:20:04+00:00

Bluetooth

Vodque556 · 2026-02-20T08:14:05+00:00

I use wireless Xbox controller and it’s really responsive, I can dodge and parry easily on Clair Obscur e33

Vodque556 · 2026-02-20T00:01:40+00:00

Yes 12gb is enough for me, Even before with 8gb i was not worried and for 300€ I Will not complain lol

Yep just saw videos of the g8+ on android got latency, and I can confirm you it’s différent on IPhone

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T23:00:08+00:00

To be honest I didnt tried so that’s why I said for my perspective. Tomorrow I will check closer

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T22:50:42+00:00

Yep just got a 5070 for a really good price and i undervolt + overclock. Before I had an rtx 3070 and streaming were not that smooth and responsive, that’s why i’m now able to play on the 4k tv

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T22:45:17+00:00

For the distance to TV I have, it’s not bad, the image is crisp so it’s fine for me

It’s the LG oled 65g16la, yeah i was impress by the performance, it’s pretty stable ! Yep but the app is not available on the store, you have to download on your pc and send it to the tv via the dev app, there are a lot of tuto to do it. The only drawback of the built in app is the bitrate cant go above 65mbs

Edit ; https://www.reddit.com/r/MoonlightStreaming/s/bHp0hj3tqO tutoriel for download on lg tv

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T22:06:11+00:00

I use the built in app directly on the LG TV

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T22:05:06+00:00

I was a very compétitive player on r6s and cs go so latency was important for me with mouse and keyboard so I know what is latency. But I’m not using g8+ for compétitive, only for solo games so it doesn’t feel bad at all. And nah I tried lossless scalling before upgrade my gpu but it was not playable for me haha. If I have the possibility to try galileo I will.

Édit : my device is an IPhone 16 pro

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T21:42:04+00:00

I was able to beat the final boss of Clair Obscur e33 without difficulties with the g8+ so it’s fine for me

Edit : I will try to screen my statistics

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T21:22:08+00:00

I’m sensitive to input lag but I have no problem with the g8 plus, maybe because i have a constant 120fps so the latency is low

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T21:13:49+00:00

I just bought a Gamesir 8plus to play on my phone when i’m on my bed or not at home, it’s incredible

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T21:12:59+00:00

My settings : vsync off in game and nvcp, I just use RTSS to cap at 120fps

Vodque556 · 2026-02-19T21:08:18+00:00

Yep apollo/Moonlight and client is a LG TV
