CPUs are slow in comparison to GPUs for lots of tasks. Comparing a 10 year old CPU vs. a 4 year old GPU only make that comparison "more offensive." That said, you pair your R420 with something like a RTX A2000 and you'll have a much fairer fight.

Does an RTX A2000 even fit? I'd consider trying to find a pair if so. It's hard looking at the two machines I have with 192GB each doing nothing.
