So I recently used the 3DMark to benchmark my PC with Firestrike. Turns out a score of 8700 is pretty shit on the percentiles.
Basically what I'm asking is, should I be upgrading my old i5 2500 to a i5 4690 + ?
If not, see anything bottlenecking my shit? Or is it me being a poorfag the issue
1333 ram?
>>52041357
What?
I have 8 gb ram and 4 gb on the 970

>upgrading due to synthetic benchmark
>>52041402
I was curious if you had 1333MHz ram instead of 1600MHz
>>52041288
Firestrike is a test for 3d graphics performance. It has more to do with your GPU than CPU.
Run cinebench and get back to tus.
>>52041414
You would not agree that my cpu is pretty shit?
>>52041464
Overclock it and deal with it.
Here's the difference between the newest (-1) generation intel and older intel cpu.

>Thinking the i5 2500 will ever be obsolete
>>52041464
It's a shit cpu OP. Get a new one so you can make 4chan and benchmarks happy.
>>52041426
I think this is what you're asking me 668mhz?
>>52041503
What do you think I'll be doing boxing day
>>52041460
I shit you not I got 420 as my score
>>52041483
I've searched for i5 2500 overclocking online and most results say that I need a i5 2500k for actual overclocking purposes
>>52041483
>10fps difference
That's like the difference between a $300 gpu and a $600 gpu
Sandy bridge is shit and needs to be thrown in the team
>>52041716
This all new CPU shit is fairly new to me, so could you explain to me why the sandy north bridge connection is shit?
>>52041768
It has nothing to do the nb. Your cpu just can't keep up.
You paid $350 for your gpu but you're getting the same performance as the guy who paid $100
>>52041858
So I was right for the wrong reasons?
I should replaced my old "sandy bridge" i5 2500 for something a bit more recent? Say a i5 4690k or even just a fucking i5 2500k for overclocking purposes
>>52041982
A 2500k will run you almost the same price as a new skylake i5, so just get the newest i5.
Stop being fucking retarded. You won't get any more performance from newer CPU. The improvement is marginally better while you'd have to spend 400+ for motherboard/cpu.
The believe the jews. Don't be a goy.

Disregard this, I suck cocks
>>52042051
Would you reckon they will reduces prices during boxing day?
Note that this entire thread is hypothetical since I'm on the college kid struggles right now

Dont buy useless shit if you are struggling with money
Upgrade from 2500 should be done with no debt and good saving in the bank.
>>52041548
Double it to get your RAM's speed.
>>52042649
Since we're in topic about rams
Has the dust settled with this DDR3 vs DDR4 shit? Pretty hot debate before I literally went off the grid on a studying spree for 2 years
Is the price worth the upgrade?
