#Q: Is the Ryzen 5 3600 good enough for a rtx 3080?
A: Yes.

[StormTheImmortal]

Hardware Unboxed has influenced EVERY one of my purchases since Skylake, when you took over the "main" role Steve you've constantly produced quality content with the most informative and "least bloated" content across Youtube. I appreciate your efforts so much and am so glad for your channel. I've learned a great deal from your videos beyond just "the latest and greatest" and appreciate your no nonsense approach to tech videos. Kuddos to you and i hope for many more years of quality information and informative content!

AMD 3600 owner: You spent how much to get 30 more fps?

[lemusicable]

I love how overclocking the CPU and the RAM brings you between 3 and 6 more fps....I'm leaving my 3600 at stock

[Cookieman]

I've never thought I'd actually become a Patreon member for a channel on YouTube but you guys keep on giving great content that's actually relevant to the average consumer so thank you!!!

CONCLUSION:

If you're playing at 1440p or higher, Ryzen 3600 is plenty for an RTX 3080.

And if you're playing at 1080p with the 3080 you need to rethink life

[sonicwingnut]

So basically, if you're currently on 1080p with a 3600 and are considering a 3080, your best investment is a new monitor.

[CustardCream]

I'm so proud of my little Ryzen 5

[Supriorr]

Dudes 3600 is fine piece of tech for The price asked

[____________________________.x]

This is exactly the video I wanted, thanks 😊 most people will never have a cutting edge cpu, but the 3600 is very affordable and probably the sweet spot for a new system, comparisons based around this cpu are far more relevant I think, rather than dreaming about 300 FPS mega systems that reviewers drool over

[Mayhemz.]

i'd love to see a Ryzen 3600 paired with the 3070!

Ryzen 5 3600 (200$) about RTX 3080 (700$):

"Finally worthy opponent"

[ragiponsoy]

This video shows again why r5 3600 deserves the award...

[PsychoStreak]

Feeling better about putting a 3600 in my mom's PC. She doesn't game, but should she decide to, she's ready. 😆

[DSP_Visuals]

Not so related, but hoping that you'll include a 2700x in some gaming benchmarks at 1440p/4k when Ryzen 5xxx goes live.

"Welcome back to Harvard Unboxed"

[isuruabc]

Including the memory tune is really helpful to see how the Ryzen 3000 series scales. Thanks for the great content

[streamdungeon]

Having a Ryzen 5 3600 myself, this video was perfect for me! Thank you so very much! I hope you will do something similar for Big Navi and keep up the great work!

[Twisted]

I'm using a 3600 with a 6800XT at 3440x1440 144hz. It's a champ of a CPU and I've never felt the need for more CPU power.
