Is there any improvement in the way 2020 uses the CPU and GPU over 2018?
I'm considering a PC upgrade in the near future and was wondering....
Thanks

One thing that I personally noticed is that an upgraded video card made a big difference. I had been using an Nvidia GTX960 Ti and wasn't noticing any issues on 2018. On 2020 it seemed a little slower and little more sluggish. As Mark mentioned above newer versions always consume more resources because of added features. I upgraded the video card to an Nvidia RTX 2070 and have noticed that things are working more smoothly than on the older card. That was the only change that I made to my system.

Thanks Guys
Wish they were taking greater advantage of the new GPUs out there. I have a 2080 ti but it does nothing for 3D Raytrace. I'm looking into a i9 9900k CPU build but have been wondering how much bang i'll get for the bucks i'd have to spend???
Currently I'm running a I7 5930k OC to 4.1 It is a 4 core CPU seems to me more cores the better?
Thanks
Mike

Lets face facts here ... ANYTHING should run fast with a 11GB 2080 TITAN video card ... Most people don't spend $1,200 on a whole system, never mind just the video card ...
